The Curves circuit is a system of exercise that alternates hydraulic resistance machines with aerobic recovery stations; and because you are moving fluid rather than weights, it’s safe for all ages.
In addition, strength training is proven in helping to combat arthritis and osteoporosis because lean muscle helps the integrity of our joints, while resistance training increases bone density. And add to all those health benefits, that you can burn up to 500 calories in one session, it is no wonder women find it a great way to tone up and feel great.
