Guest guest Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 Unless Curves has just one exercise routine, it would be hard to judge. Unless you plan to eat a lot of AP points (and some people do, it's just personal choice), just count it as moderate. If you are doing the bouncy stepford wives dance type aerobics, that would be more high intensity than doing the long slow burn low-impact, which is more of a moderate workout. When in doubt, I generally go with moderate. I get my AP's and I don't feel like I'm cheating. And they won't let me in to Curves, not even to watch!

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 My wife who goes to Curves recently brought home a magazine with a rather extensive article on Curves. In that article they state that up to 500 calories are burned during their standard workout. That is a tremendous amount to burn in a 30 minute workout. I think we still have it at home so I'll try to post the name of the mag that ran the article. Charlie > Excercise Points > > > > > > Can someone refresh my memory on how the excercise points work?

I > thought you somehow buy back some of your " eaten " points after you > earn some excercise points. You can earn up to 4 Aps a day. Well, you can earn more, but you can USE only 4. You can either eat them or bank them for another day. > And does anyone do Curves? I'm thinking this is considered a high > intensity..I mean, afterall...its more than just a " probably makes > you sweat " kind of thing. It depends on how hard you work. I watch some women just sort of saunter through the exercises, simply shifting from foot to foot on the recovery stations. Others jog on the stations. I jog and do arm movements to keep my HR up so I count it as high intensity. ~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` Tory Klementsen, MCP A+ Career and Technology Educator The successful person will do things that the unsuccessful person will not.

Curves is just one exercise routine, but of course the intensity depends on the person. Stepford Wives? Hmmmm. Legally they can't keep you from joing Curves. We talk about it sometimes at our Curves. I would think men would feel very uncomfortable, kind of like I felt the first time I wandered into that den of testosterone, the free weight room at the YMCA. I got over it, though. ~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` Tory Klementsen, MCP A+ Career and Technology Educator The successful person will do things that the unsuccessful person will not.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2003 Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 Tory, You know the Stepford wives movie, right? I had an old aerobics tape back in the early 90's (filmed in the 80's) that had some high impact, and like many of the tapes in those days, the women were all perfectly proportioned women (complete with big hair and leg warmers) bouncing around doing things I had no chance in H-E-double hockey sticks of doing! As to the YMCA, that is one of my rewards to myself next month for getting the car paid off. I love my DVD workouts, but it will be nice to have access to a facility where I can use other equipment, try some different types of group workouts like spinning or something, and just keep my routine from being so routine. I can't wait. Plus, the Y is only 3 blocks from the house! Jon Tory wrote: Stepford Wives? Hmmmm. Legally they can't keep you from joing Curves. We talk about it sometimes at our Curves.

In May of 2003, Gov. Jim Doyle signed a bill allowing single sex fitness clubs. The story is at http://www.jsonline.com/news/state/may03/141919.asp?format=print Bob - bobjj51@...
