Here is the deal; the Curves circuit training system works great for women who would never typically hit the gym (i.e., your mom, my mom, your mom’s best friend…). It works great for women who are intimidated by things at the gym such as men, free weights and sweaty equipment with words like ‘flexor’ and ‘abductor’ in the titles. It works great for women who want to go to the gym with a group then head to Starbucks after for a Caramel Macchiato with extra whip and a post workout powwow.
The problem is that there is no diversity in your workout and your muscles can (and most likely will) get used to the load-bearing training based on pulling and pushing rather than typical lifting and lowering training. Some people need a diverse and intense workout and some people need Curves - after all any workout is better than none. If Curves got my 78 year old grandmother to hit the gym, well then I’m all for it…
