Hopefully I can get out and walk this week. What are everyones thoughts on Curves? Or am I better off joining the YMCA or a gym? I need to get moving!!

Thanks

Michelle...

Well ya know I'm a Curves member.  I do enjoy it and the sweating is good for me.  I know cardio is important, but we also need to tone & strengthen our muscles because we lose muscle as we age after 30.  Whatever you chose, just be consistent. You are doing a great job!!  CONGRATS!!!   Hugs  Jeanine

I'm seconding your emphasis on doing strength training to tone and strenghten our muscles!  It's great to help prevent the usual muscle loss that occurs as we age.  It can also help prevent osteoporosis, as the strength training puts pressure on our bones, which causes them to strengthen just like our muscles!  Also, adding muscle mass helps keep our metabolism higher, so we burn more calories.  Lots and lots of good reasons to strength train!!!

OOOhhhhhhhhhhhh I didn't know about the metabolism part....See......ya learn sumpin new every day!  LOL  THANKS!!  HUGS  Jeanine
