I fully agree that you should find something that you like. Remember that no exercise in and of itself is going to "make" you exercise. We all have to find the motivation. Going to Curves for three weeks in your year membership is probably less about curves and more about you and what you want. I know that people on the thread have had negative things to say about Curves. However, I have been on both sides with the dedication to my workout. For the first year, it was great. I had friends to workout with which made a huge difference than later on when I had no one. I went a lot less then. I found the encouragement from the staff at my weigh and measures wonderfully reinforcing. I loved the muscle tone I gained from using the equipment properly (working to muscle failure). It really made a difference for me. I lost more than 50 lbs. There were women there who had WLS and no one criticised them. In fact, they were encourged and celebrated for the amount of wt they lost. There are so many factors that can add to one's experience being good or bad. I say, the workout is great and to my surprise, I was getting an aerobic workout while going there. I thought it was missing until my husband and I went to Six Flags with friends of ours. I know my BMI was the highest and I blew past them when climbing the hills with no huffing and puffing. It was fantastic!!!!! I did get bored after a year and started doing nothing which coupled with a lapse in eating judgement lead to me regaining the lost wt. What ever workout you choose is only going to work if you work it. Take care.
