does 'curves' work if so how long?

Answer 1

I did curves consistently for about 2 1/2 months and lost 20 lbs. I have kind of been slacking lately but have maintained the loss so I would say it works. It allows a comfortable workout environment for those just starting out, but I can see where after the weight loss goal is achieved you might need a gym with weights to really work on definition.

Answer 2

I tried Curves for 5 months and honestly, you can do better at home. What I do is when I walk, I walk on the balls of my feet one way and the heel on the way back (great workout for calves). When I am washing dishes, I do squats and leg lunges. I purchased an exercise ball and that is what I sit on a majority of the time. It stabilizes your core. Then I started doing more every day to where I can walk around my neighborhood for about an hour. It's all about being more active. The more active you are the better you feel. I have lost 30lbs since doing it and of course I eat smaller portions now instead of elimating the foods I love. Curves (to me) is strictly a gimmick.

Answer 3

Its fun, and the music is great, and when you walk out you feel like you had a good workout. I didn't do it for very long because I don't like the circle aspect, I mean I didn't like feeling like people on the other side were watching me grunt and sweat. That ended quick. I bought a treadmill. Much better investment.

Answer 4

Is not the gym...........is the intensity and lenght of your workouts...your diet ,your seriousness about your goal .... otherwise...the list of cool gyms to visit will be long . . . (fall in love...you loose like 10 pounds the first month)
