Curves Workout



Recommended Posts

The "new technology" that you referred to has been used in some Curves for a year or two now. It allows you to check in to each machine and will shut off when you've been working out for too long. It costs an extra $5 a month at the Curves here, and not all franchises have them. Another caveat is that your information isn't available yet if you use a travel pass. That's in the working now, but still not ready.....my former boss uses that and looks great. The Curves where I belong doesn't have it, so we have to rely on pushing ourselves.

I'm pretty much in a small town but I figure the Curves here is fairly new so it should be okay, I'm guessing. I just need to get over there!!!

They upgraded our tags to store information when we travel from enter to center, but the places I've visited only have only 8 machines. I took a sheet to my surgeon detailing all of the machines with pictures and he checked off the ones I can use.

I've been a Curve's member for 3.5 years. I love it! I was banded four months ago. I waited 11 days before going back and I skipped the squat machine and the crunch machine for about a month after that. I have lost 36 inches since my surgery so I must be doing something correctly. I go at least four times a week and sometimes 5 or 6. If you go often you get to know the coaches and other members you are working out with and we are great cheerleaders for each other. I am reasonably sure that had I not been a Curve's member before my surgery I would probably have weighed at least 100 lbs more.

I am excited about our Curves getting the new "technology" in the next few months. I am glad to hear that it really works.

I've been to several different Curves around the country while traveling and they do vary a lot in the equipment available, friendliness of the staff, etc. but it is a great way to start the day before a long car drive.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
