We're already spending the $$ on membership, so we gotta keep each other motivated to go!

YES! I need it too!

I've been thinking about going to Curves, but I just wish I could I talk my mom or best friend into going with me! (My friend expecially. She's upwards
of 250, and really needs to get some exercise!)

Once the bills are paid off from Han's bladder surgery, I'll be able to use that same payment amount towards the monthly fee. I really think I'm going to join. I just hate waiting!

Yeah, I definitely see the importance of pushing yourself to do as many reps as possible!
Maybe we should start a "Curves Count" to make sure the other is going as many times a week as they want to. Then we can keep each other on track!

I'm glad you posted this, because I was just about to revive this thread! Congrats on going back to working out!
I had my first workout at Curves TODAY. I LOVED it! I'm going to go 3-4 times/week.
Tomorrow we both work out again! Deal?

LOL, that's devotion!!! I have my gym bag at my desk right now. Can't think of a better way to spend a rainy afternoon than working out!!! It'll make up for all the green beer I'll drink this week

Don't get any on ya -
Have fun!

Hey, does your Curves offer that $5 Curves cash after you complete so many workouts? Do you know what it can be used for?

Alright Rockcat, I worked out Weds. (really pushed myself) and I'm going today after work (hopefully to shake the hangover!). How about you?
Anyone else interested in starting a general forum for keeping each other motivated to work out (and not just us Curves folks)? People tend to be better at sticking to workouts when they have a friend in their corner to keep 'em motivated

We get "Curves Dollars" once in awhile as a reward for good attendance, weight loss, bringing in groceries for a food drive, etc. that are used to buy T-shirts, tote bags, or other Curves products.

YUP, I went Wed too! I'm going after work today and that will make my weekly goal of 3 times. YAY!

Aparrently while I was gone they added Sat hours from 8-11 am!!! They're closed this Sat for a charity walk for MS. I went last year, but it was too late to get into it this year.

Good job Aimes! Keep it up!

i did my workout at about 11 pm last night because my knees started to really hurt. I got my work out excersizes from Katpixiedust. they work really well for me! But i need to do them every day because my knees are getting weak and sore! and those aerobics moves are great!

Good for you!!!! I tried working out at home, but I couldn't do it for 2 reasons:
1) not enough self-discipline
2) I just CAN'T work out with someone watching who isn't working out too.

Way to go with a workout Fran! I am sure Katherine sent you some very good ideas for cardio.
Rockcat, way to go on Weds and for the workout you'll have today! Let's keep each other going at least 3 times/week, OK?
Do you two think I should start a general thread for everyone, sort of a workout support group?
