My Story
Hi,
My name is Yvonne Hiner. When I moved to Phoenix three years ago at age 85,my back was often giving me fits plus my knees seemed to be giving out. It usually took me 3 or 4 times of rocking back and forth before I could even get out of a chair and I could only walk limited distances. Then one day I went to the doctor and he noticed my shortness of breath and wanted to start me on another medication for asthma. My daughter asked,"Did he even ask you if you are exercising ,Mom? I said to her,"What ...do you think that I am out of shape"?
Well I decided that I did'nt want to take anymore medication and I definitely did'nt want to be accused of getting lazy so I decided to sign up for CURVES!! That was the best thing that I have done for myself in a long time! I am now 88 and go to CURVES everyday but Sunday. I love the workout and I especially love the great enthusiasm and support of the staff and the rest of the CURVES GIRLS! I have lost 15 pounds and as many inches. But more importantly, I can get up out of the chair on the first try, I not only walk to the mail box but I also ride my bike for about a mile and I feel better than I have in years.
My kids and grandkids are very proud of my success. But for me, I am mostly happy to be still moving and shaking and enjoying my life. Thank you,CURVES!!!!!
