communityspotlight... Curves Corner
women’s fitness and weight loss centers are now located all over the world. The first in our area was opened less than four years ago in Clemmons by Sherron and Sid Hart, who currently own four of the approximate 12 locations in 15-20 mile radius. What is this all about you are asking?
C
It’s about women who don’t have time to “work out” and it’s about women who hate to work out but their doctors are telling them they must get some exercise. It’s about women who no longer have to feel intimidated by mirrors and spandex and it’s about women on a budget. Also it’s about women who have found an ef- fective way to deal with stress and now realize that there is an answer for them. Curves is about women and efficient fit- ness. The 30 minute workout will be the toughest 30 minutes of your day, but it is fun and safe. The hydraulic resistance equipment is specially designed for wom- en to provide strength training and cardio in one complete workout. The staff is well trained and always on hand to assist you and offer support and encouragement every step of the way. Curves has not only shown women
that change is possible through an effec- tive fitness program but it also offers a unique weight loss program. Curves has always offered one on one weight loss counseling based on “Permanent Results Without Permanent Dieting”. Earlier this year, after many years of research and development at Baylor University, Curves
urves; how quickly it has become a household word! The “30 Minute”
introduced a structured weight loss pro- gram called the “6 Week Challenge”. Classes are held once a week by a trained instructor complete with videos, planned information sessions and a supportive group atmosphere. After the 6 week program is completed the staff continues to monitor the member’s progress with weekly weigh-ins and continued support. Our current members have enjoyed the program and are not only losing weight, inches and body fat but are seriously changing their outlook on nutrition and weight loss. The Curves approach differs from
many of the “fad” diets in that we teach women how to eat, instead of how to diet. The majority of our members have tried every diet ever published and were stuck in the yo-yo dieting mode prior to joining. We teach that the combination of good nutrition based on making good choices, along with the Curves workout will help to build their metabolism which has been seriously slowed down by years of “dieting”. Making the right nutritional choices
is a large part of any weight loss program. This applies to any and all “low carb”, “low calorie”, and “low fat” programs. Reviewing the label of nutritional facts on each food item has become more important in making wise choices, espe- cially in this era of limiting carbs. A trip to the grocery store has become a study in marketing and nutrition. By reading the nutritional label on the package as well as looking at the persuasive pack- aging you can increase your weight loss
results by making better choices. For example, an item may get your attention by claiming to have “3 net carbs” on the front of the package, but on the back it may show 22 actual carbs. The net carb breakdown takes into consideration the amount of other items such as sugar al- cohols and fiber, along with the fact that the item may be loaded with fat grams and calories. If you are a “carb watcher” you might normally ignore this or if you are a calorie counter you might not care about the carbs. Whatever the case, if you are not checking the total contents (carbs, calories, fats. protein, fiber, etc…) you are more than likely sabotaging your weight loss success. You don’t need to be a nutritionist to figure this out (because they have provided the labels in order to make this easier for us) but use common sense and keep moderation in mind. In our community there are several
sources available for professional nutri- tional counseling. At Curves we try to take advantage of these resources and invite professionals in during our “well- ness weeks”. These are held throughout the year when we are targeting other women’s issues such as breast cancer, heart disease, stress and diabetes. As with any part of our Curves program, or any program you choose to join, if in doubt about your personal needs, check with your doctor before starting a program. Curves will gladly supply you with infor- mation you can share with your doctor regarding our fitness program. Our mem- bers range from age 12 to 84 and come in all shapes and sizes. So don’t let any existing health condition deter you from at least checking out the program… we believe you will be pleasantly surprised at what you can accomplish at Curves. Please check the calendar section
of this publication for upcoming weight loss class dates and locations (all loca- tions may not offer weight loss classes). Also check the other scheduled activi- ties, events and joining specials for the month at the Curves closest to you. We welcome any questions and invite you to call or stop by. We look forward to meeting you!
