Gym report


I was wondering how everyone is doing with there gym/fitness programs?

I'm going to a ladies only gym called Curves. Its a half hour workout with machines and cardio. They recon its equivalent to 1 1/2 hours at a conventional gym.

My report since April is this
Bust lost 2 inch
Waist lost 2.25 inch
abdomen lost 2.75 inch
hips lost 1 inch
thighs x 2 lost 10 inch (5 each)
Arms upper lost 5 inch (2 1/2 each)
weight lost 6 lbs
body fat converted 3.20 per cent
BMI down 1.13
Feeling quite good about it.

That is an excellent result Jac! It sounds as if this programme is really working for you; the thigh loss is especially impressive Is it helping strengthen your back at all?

I've been going to the gym lately as I now have 2 days off work per week!! Went this morning and had a good workout. The equipment is amazing, the treadmills have sky TV on them as well as radio and ipod! Certainly makes the time go quicker!

Re: Gym report


Kim, my gym also has control points on their cardio machines for watching the screens or listening to the radio. I got a freebie iPod shuffle which has taken me an age to work out how to load but I used it for the first time on Wednesday for both cardio and mat work and it really helped me focus . . . it helped of course that it was Robbie Williams that I was listening too

Re: Gym report


Yes Yola, it really does help to forget how absolutely knackered you are on the treadmill! These machines are new to our gym and I'm really impressed - whatever next!
