Curves Complete
The world's largest fitness franchise goes to the Web.
BACKGROUND
You already know the Curves name and brand. There's probably one in your neighborhood. This chain of women-only gyms, promoting a quick and easy 30-minute workout, has grown to be the world's largest weight loss franchise. With 10,000 locations in nearly 60 countries- Curves is a trusted friend for women.
What makes Curves so successful is their attentiveness to and understanding of the women they serve. Whether you're a woman in the U.S., Brazil, or Peru- you still have a harried schedule with kids, work, groceries and other chores. Putting your weight first isn't always the priority. And while the 30-minute workout that Curves has so successfully promoted has served thousands well, it was time to make the service even more convenient.
Curves Complete is the new Web membership program. Its doors are open 24/7- giving you greater access to the information and support you trust. It's an online resource to access Curves nutrition experts and dozens of useful tools- a more comprehensive extension of the traditional program. You'll find a supportive community available via discussion boards, fitness experts guiding your fitness needs, nutritional guidance and meal planning.

DIET and NUTRITION
"What do I get to eat" is usually one of the more pressing questions when considering a new diet. No one wants to go hungry or give up anything. It can also be a task measuring all of those calories and fat grams and trying to determine the healthiest meal choices. Curves Complete takes a lot of the guessing and working out of the equation. Each day when you log into Curves Complete, you'll find a complete meal plan for the day. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and two snacks are explained with detailed nutrition information and the counts already added.
A sample of a day following the Curves Complete meal plan could be:
Breakfast- bran muffin, egg white omelet with peppers and fat-free cheddar cheese.
Lunch- Plain grilled shrimp with a green salad and oil and vinegar dressing.
Dinner- White chili with a tossed salad and fat-free red wine vinaigrette.
Snacks- cottage cheese, Wheat Tins and cantaloupe; iced coffee low-fat white cheddar cheese and Wasa crackers
Many of the meal recommendations are accompanied with a recipe- making it that much easier to plan. You're also encouraged to get plenty of fiber, drink 64 oz. of water each day and take a multi-vitamin.
EXERCISE
Following the personal assessment of your current health and weight stats, you'll be given the option to take the Curves Workout Quick Start, the option to choose from a list of workout plans or opt not to participate in a workout plan, which Curves does not recommend.
Just like the neighborhood gyms, Curves Complete workouts encourage you to keep moving. As they've proven with their famous 30-minute workouts, it doesn't take a huge time commitment. Thirty minutes, at least three times a week, and you can accomplish cardio, strength training and other key points of a complete workout.
Not everyone can make it to a Curves gym, so there are other workouts you can select- like a walking plan that has you taking anywhere from 4,000 to 20,000 steps each day, or you can build a cardio plan.
CONCLUSION
Curves Complete really does say it all- the trusted experience of the Curves brand coupled with a complete, comprehensive guide to weight loss. This interactive Web-based weight loss program is just the ticket to help you set a realistic goal and actually achieve it. With guidance in the way of meal planning and fitness, as well as connecting with the rest of the Curves community for additional support, you'll wonder why it hasn't always been this easy.

i love it , everybody should try it.
I have been a faithful member of Curves for the past 5 years. It is the only system that has helped me to lose and keep the weight off. It has also been a great stress reliever and delightful social activity. I've made many workout buddies over the years and we really do encourage one another. I love the support staff and really like the fact that there are no mirrors or men around to watch me while I'm working out. The food plan and supplements are top notch but like any other fitness program the secret is committment and consistency. I have highly recommended this program to all of my friends and family many of whom are now benefitting. Curves is not for everyone but I have found that most people who try it and truly challenge themselves see results in sometimes less than three weeks. I for one plan on continuing the course. It has really paid off.
