The Curve Fitness Plan

Is it possible to work out for only 30 minutes a day and really lose weight?
It depends on what your weight loss goals are. For people who are not in a rush to lose weight and under the age of 35, half an hour of regular exercise can represent enough activity to offset weight loss. Of course, the weight program must include a reduced caloric intake.

One such fitness company is the topic of significant controversy, Curves. The goliath company touts a 30 minute regimen just three times a week. Certain physical trainer counter the efficacy of a 30 minute regimen only thrice a week. But here's how the Curve regimen works:

Only women qualify for the fitness program

The workout regimen is comprised of 5 minutes of stretching and two rounds of circuit training

Female rotate through a sphere of 12 hydraulic- resistance machines. The work-out equipment is designed to vary the intensity and training regimens. For example, one machine provides strength training. Members are prescribed to alternate between 30 seconds on each machine and half minute spurt of jogging in place.

Although the hydraulic machinery is verisimilar to traditional bodybuilding machines, the difference is in the pace of the exercise. Dissimilar to a regular training session where weights are added, these machines are utilized with intensity in mind. In other words, women are supposed to lift faster to accelerate the resistance.

While women are aware that the Curve fitness plan is based on one's motivation level, many members love the personal attention and support. When one considers that Curves is deemed the leading fitness franchise with an accumulative membership base of 4 million women and more than 8,000 locations worldwide.
