Curves Special




Well since y'all know I am going to Curves and for FREE. I am part of the Silver Sneakers program of my insurance company. If you are on Medicare then you may also get to go for FREE.

I thought I would add another way to save money, help out and get you exercising too.



Nationwide for the month of March Curves is waiving their start up fee if you bring in a bag of groceries. It will be donated to a local food bank. That is like a $75 savings. Also if you have your monthly fee taken from you bank account automatically then you save another $10 a month. (That is $195 savings for the first year.) Break it down and it is less than the cost of a soda a day to go and exercise with a bunch of really crazy ladies.


Benefits I enjoy are:

No Mirrors
No Men
All Positive Praise for being there
Totally Accepted as I AM

So if your ready for a change, itching to get out and move as Spring sets in and want to help a local food bank the head on over to Curves.

My New Change!

Have joined together to help provide affordable health classes to seniors and others on Medicare. Well affordable is actually
FREE

So I joined last week.
Making today my first workout.


I was able to join through my health care program with Humana


I loved the windows when I arrived.
Letting me know I was in for a fun time and only committing to 30 minutes 3 times a week. To be a member through Silver Sneakers you only have to go 10 times a month.
That is easy. I hope to go Monday thru Friday.


We started out with some paperwork.
And measurements.
Then the dreaded scales.


There is up beat music playing.
You start out on one of these walking pads.
Just walking, stepping or jogging in place.
Til you hear the beep!


Then you move to the next station.
One of the machines.
They are all different kinds.
This one you move your legs in and out in a V shape.
Glad there are only women here!



You will do the circuit three times.
Rotating from stepping (for aerobics) to a machine (for calisthenics).
There are beeps for each time you change back and forth.
And it also tells you when to take you heart rate.
I was happy that mine was between 75% to 85% for my age range on the workout.


When your done you do a cool down period at the bar.
Don't you love all the bright colors here.
I did!


I clocked the mileage of the trip one way.
Maybe I can start walking there and back later.
That would make a good 3 mile walk everyday.


Oh, you also get this free magazine too!
