Most women would prefer to exercise in comfortably fitting gym wear, but when there are men around, women tend to wear baggy clothes to avoid embarrassment from being looked at. Women who are self-conscious about their bodies refuse to go to a gym, and they are most probably in greatest need of finding a good exercise program What is the solution to their dilemma? Perhaps Curves is the answer.

Curves is an exercise facility and program that has been created for women only. Being only with other women enables women to wear comfortable, figure hugging clothing without feeling the awkwardness experienced when exercising in mixed company.

Curves promises women that they can get into shape by investing only thirty minutes each day in the Curves’ circuit training exercise program. Women who participate in circuit training move from one piece of exercise equipment to another with only about one minute between changes.
