Forty-Something: Unleashing a Healthier Me with Curves

This post is sponsored by Curves®.

I turned forty-two a few weeks ago, and I’ve got a few goals I want to accomplish this year. My intentions include getting my book published, redecorate my home from head to toe, and get healthier and more fit. I am off to a really good start with all three, and the latter is coming together with the help of Curves®.

You may have heard of Curves before, but forget what you think you know. Curves is a a woman-focused fitness center that helps us stay active, even with our hectic lifestyles. At the foundation of their program is Curves Circuit; a series of hydraulic strength-training machines that works your whole body in just 30 minutes.

I’ve been looking for a place that I can get a good workout in a no judgement zone. Curves is all about empowering us to love ourselves and our bodies by giving us a encouraging environment to workout in.

During my first visit, I met with a Curves Coach for a consultation. We discussed my fitness goals, the Curves motto, and I got a tutorial of each machine and how to use it correctly. The plan for me is to come to work out three days a week for the next 30-days. I will be getting in heavy cardio, spending 30 seconds at each station.

I was also given a full tour and worked a few of the stretching stations to get the feel of everything.

I felt totally comfortable at my Curves location, and I am looking forward to getting the most out of what they have to offer. There’s even Specialty Classes designed women of all ages that include things like Zumba, which I plan to take in addition to my workouts.

What’s more, Curves is celebrating their 25 year anniversary.

I am ready to shed some pounds and get even more fabulous!
