I have recently joined curves the womens 30 min fitness club but im now thinking is 30 mins of exercise enough to lose weight and tone up. Just wondering would joining a gym be better than joining Curves?

Curves is only good if you're at a beginner or intermediate fitness level. If you're advanced, you should join a gym. I went to Curves for a year, 3-4 times a week for 30-45 min, and I lost like 50 lbs. Eventually Curves gets boring because you do the same circuit every time, but it is a great place to start off with.

It does not matter where you go. The key is to stay motivated and have a cardio vascular exercise routine for a minimum of 20 to 30 minutes three times a week, and eating right. In a gym you may have to share toning machines with over zealous males.

join the gym..
consult a physicina first, everyone needs are different.
on the gym , you can focus on cardio , weights and join lots of toher classes.
who ever says you will loose weight whith 30 mins a day is a liar, ...cardio needs to be done in chunks of at least 40 minutes..
ideally 3 three times a week or more..

I personally do not like Curves. I think it's too small and the machines aren't as great as a normal gym's. But you need to go where you feel the best :) And where you like the most!

Curves will remember on the ideas of circuit education and muscle confusion. mixed, those 2 concepts enable a guy or woman to combine their weight education with cardiovascular workout. Muscle confusion prevents plateauing permitting a guy or woman to consistently see outcomes. you are able to gain the comparable outcomes by employing those concepts at any health club. All you will possibly desire to do is one set of 8-15 reps on extra or less 12 distinctive machines in succession. those machines might desire to purpose all the main muscle mass (chest, lower back, legs) and the minors (biceps, triceps, and abdominals). *The words significant and minor are used in basic terms as a reference as to their respective sizes. All muscle groups are significant in attaining finished physique wellness. After doing a collection on each of those machines, you will possibly desire to flow interior the process the ciruit till you have finished 3-5 cycles. you will initiate off with 3 and then later may be able to construct to 5. throughout those workouts, the only breaks you're taking would be those between going from device to device and in all probability 30 2d rests to seize your breath.
