My Story
Membership in a fitness club, whew who could spare the time or the money! But as I looked myself in the mirror, I did not like what I saw. I had gained some extra weight with all the stress of caring for my elderly mother. But when I saw an ad for a project jointly sponsored by Curves and Avon, I decided to give it a 30-day, $30 try. I was also suffering from a herniated disc in my back and wasnt sure if I could use the machines effectively. But for 30 days and $30, I would give it a try! I had taken a lot of riskier gambles than that one.
Now the 30 days have turned into a year and I have a lot to show for my commitment. I have lost 19 pounds, a lot of inches, more than 4% body fat loss, my back is stronger and then there are all the other pluses! Those include the personal coach/motivation team in the staff and other members; the indoor yard sales with weekly bargains; the chances to donate to soup kitchens and needy families; the big loser contests; the Kentucky Derby racing pools; and much more.
Although I still do not know many of the members names, they are supportive through joys and sorrows. They provide advice and opinions on virtually every topic. They have recipe suggestions for dinner that evening and the name of the best go to person for anything I need.
So I really feel like I am able to maximize my 30- minute workouts since I can get all those extras while exercising. A big thanks to the Audubon Park (Louisville, KY) Curves for helping me feel and look better. Im looking forward to a new year of exercise and companionship.
