Curves

I hate exersicing!  So for me curves is great. I work on a horse farm and I dont mind the exersize i get from work, but formal exersizing just sucks!...LOL I hate breathing heavy and sweating, I've never felt energized after exersizing, just sweaty and uncomfortable. But I digress....The point is at curves I go, do my rounds, do my stretches and I"m gone. I have no reason to socialize while I'm there, but the staff has been very nice to me. The point is i get my exersize in and I can live with myself and not feel guillty. and Yes I've lost inches and pounds.

Curves is one of the few places that a fat middle-aged out-of-shape woman can feel completely comfortable exercising in public. And it's a good workout!

I went to curves for a year.  It is great when you are first starting out.  After a year the machines were not challeging enough.  It is however a great place to start.
