Curves Fitness Program - 30 Beyond-The-Circuit Benefits
Curves, the world's largest fitness franchise and the global leader in women's fitness, is the brand recognized and trusted by millions of women worldwide. A Curves 30 minute fitness center is a woman's gym that provides a total body workout.
Here are 30 Beyond-The-Circuit Benefits you're getting from your 30-minute curves workout by Daryn Eller.
1) Happiness - Richard B. Kreider, PhD, FACSM, and researchers at Baylor University have been studying the Curves program and its effects since fall 2002. One important finding is that women who regularly work out at Curves report that they are enjoying a higher quality of life—they feel better able to perform everyday activities, feel better physically and emotionally, have more energy, feel more social, and are happier with their bodies. But here's what's remarkable: This higher quality of life comes regardless of weight lost or fitness gained. Meaning that even those who hadn't yet lost a pound reported that life is good.
2) Skin like a baby - According to dermatologist Nicholas Perricone, MD, author of The Perricone Prescription: Look Younger, Live Longer in Three Easy Steps, the skin of athletic people has more collagen—the protein that keeps skin looking robust and wrinkle-free—than that of nonathletes. They also have more muscle mass than nonathletes, which lends wonderful lifting and supporting to skin and skin structures.
3) "Younger" arteries - As the body ages, the arteries are subjected to all kinds of nicks and tears. When your body tries to repair the damage, plaque buildup and inflammation can result, closing off the arteries and setting the stage for a heart attack or stroke. But when you exercise, your body secretes chemicals that increase the size of your blood vessels, allowing more blood to get through. Over time, your arteries become trained to stay open—even when you're not exercising. "That means you'll get less damage to the lining of the arteries," says Mehmet Oz, MD, professor of surgery at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City and author of Healing from the Heart and You: The Owner's Manual.
4) Better baby-making ability - Scientists have long known that excessive exercise can inhibit fertility, but it's also been shown that a moderate amount—like 30 minutes at Curves—can help reduce stress, and stress is one of the biggest roadblocks to getting pregnant.
5) A great, big mood balloon - As an antidote for mild to moderate depression, exercise is as effective as medication. In fact, an exercise-induced lift in mood occurs as quickly as a drug-enhanced one—within a month of working out regularly, points out Keith Johnsgard, PhD, professor emeritus of psychology at San Jose State University in California and author of Conquering Depression and Anxiety through Exercise—and also appears to last longer.
6) Greater protection against ovarian cancer - In a study of more than 2,500 women, Canadian researchers found that women who exercised moderately (à la a Curves workout) were less likely to develop ovarian cancer than those who did not perhaps because exercise is associated with lower levels of circulating estrogen and progesterone, and studies suggest that high levels of these hormones are a risk factor for ovarian cancer.
7) Defense against diabetes - A good workout not only increases your body's sensitivity to insulin, but it lowers the amount of sugar in your blood. And that's excellent protection against diabetes: In fact, a landmark study conducted by the National Institutes of Health found that 30 minutes of exercise, five days a week, plus a healthy diet can lower your risk of the disease by a whopping 58%.
Life-enhancing friendships - An Australian study found that a strong network of friends, such as women you meet at Curves, had a positive impact on how long people survive. Among people 70 and older, those with the strongest social networks were 22% less likely to die during their next decade than those with more limited social networks. Friends, the researchers suggest, encourage people to look after their health and help reduce feelings of depression and anxiety during tough times. Not to mention that they'll get you to the gym every time!
9) Less arthritis pain - Docs used to think that exercise caused arthritis. But physicians now recommend exercise—and strength training, in particular—to help prevent stiffness and joint pain. According to a study by Miriam Nelson, PhD, director of the John Hancock Center for Physical Activity and Nutrition at Tufts University in Boston,people with osteoarthritis in their knees who strength-trained for 16 weeks reduced their pain and improved their ability to function by about 43%.
10) Better job productivity - Researchers at the University of Bristol in England recently reviewed the questionnaires of 210 workers who exercised regularly in their company's gym. On the days they worked out, the exercisers got along better with their colleagues, were more productive, and managed their time more efficiently once they returned to their desks. If you work out somewhere besides a company gym—say, Curves—will you fare just as well? If you work out at Curves, you'll fare even better.
Researchers at Baylor University, who have been studying the Curves program and its impact on women, have discovered that women who exercise regularly at Curves enjoy a higher quality of life in many ways (see Reason #1).
11) Fewer sick days - Not only will you do better once you're at work, but you'll actually be there more often if you hit the Curves circuit regularly. Studies show that regular exercisers use half as many sick days as their less sweaty colleagues, primarily because working out encourages the body to release additional killer cells and antibodies into your system, and they wipe out illness-causing viruses and other germs.
12) A better-backed back - According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, one of the primary risk factors for back pain is inactivity. Your three-times-a week workout on the Curves circuit will help you keep the muscles that support your back strong and flexible, making it more resistant to injury.
13) Uninterrupted zzzs - Exercise taps your energy reserves, encouraging your body to sleep so that it can replenish them. But it also raises your body temperature, leading to a corresponding fall in temperature hours later—which helps your body ease into sleep.
14) More energy - Because regular exercise enhances sleep, you'll naturally awake the day after a workout with your energy levels more fully replenished. Plus, exercise just makes you feel great about yourself, helping you attack life with more vigor.
15) Greater creativity - Ever notice that a physical workout can help you work things out mentally? Scientists at Middlesex University in England tested the notion by having volunteers watch a video and exercise aerobically for 25 minutes on alternate days. After each video and exercise session, the volunteers took a creativity test that required that they devise uses for empty cardboard boxes and tin cans. Postworkout, the volunteers not only came up with more solutions than they did when they watched the video, but they also came up with more innovative solutions—perhaps because exercise speeds up blood flow to the brain.
16) A healthier weight - Kreider followed Curves members for 14 weeks and found that, through a combination of a healthful diet (1,200 to 2,600 calories per day) and Curves workouts, they lost an average of 10 to 14 pounds. What's more, they increased their metabolic rates (the amount of calories their bodies burn naturally just to sustain themselves) by 150 to 400 calories a day.
17) The support your knees need - Strengthening the muscles that surround your joints—especially your knees, which are particularly prone to injury—will stabilize them and help keep them safe from both long-term stress and accidental twists and turns. "When you're out of shape and have no strong, supporting muscles, all your weight presses on
the cartilage of your joints, causing it to crack and fray," says Dr. Oz. "Strong muscles absorb some of that pressure, so the joint stays healthy."
18) A healthier heart - Aerobic exercise is a gift to your heart that just keeps on giving: It strengthens your heart muscle itself; it increases levels of HDL, or highdensity lipoprotein, cholesterol—the protective cholesterol that actually clears (not clogs) the arteries; it lowers triglyceride levels, reducing the risk of plaque buildup in your arteries that can lead to heart attack; and it improves the ability of the body to dissolve any artery-clogging blood clots.
19) License to eat a little more - If you're not trying to lose weight, the amount of calories you burn working out at Curves will allow you to indulge just the littlest bit more. An extra café latte, anyone?
20) Lower blood pressure - Exercise can help lower blood pressure that's already high by helping you to drop a few pounds.
21) More muscle - Muscle building is an integral part of your Curves workout—for good reason: Muscle requires a lot of energy to sustain itself, so the more you have of it, the more calories you'll burn daily. And the more you'll be able to do as you age without risking injury. Bonus: Arms and legs with more muscle tone are firmer—and look shapelier.
22) Excellent defense against breast cancer - According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, regular exercise reduces your risk of breast cancer by bolstering your immune system and lowering levels of estrogen circulating in your blood. Plus, researchers from Harvard Medical School in Boston recently found that women with breast cancer who do the equivalent of walking three to five hours a week are 50% less likely to die from the disease than those who don't.
23) A silver tongue - Research conducted by Charles Emery,PhD, associate professor of psychology at Ohio State University and an expert in the psychological effects of physical exercise, has shown that people who work out to music not only feel better emotionally and mentally after a workout, as all exercisers do, but they also improve their verbal fluency—far more than people who don't exercise to music. The combination of music and exercise, both of which appear to increase cognitive function, says Emery, may help you be more articulate.
24) Ahhhhh - Cardiovascular activity tends to soothe tension and anxiety immediately after a workout—and for hours afterward, and scientists point out that there are several explanations. The feel-good brain chemicals called beta-endorphins and dopamine that cardio exercise produces (see Reason #5) are clearly at work. It's also the case that exercising can distract us from everyday worries, give us a sense of being in charge of our lives, and elevate self-esteem.
25) Some relief from menopause - One of the more bothersome side effects of menopause is fat gain around the middle. Enter aerobic exercise, which targets abdominal fat, in particular, helping to stem menopausal weight gain. Some research even suggests that hot flashes are less severe in regular exercisers, because physical activity boosts
production of brain chemicals that counter decreasing levels of estrogen.
26) More confidence during intimacy - According to a University of Arkansas researcher who surveyed 408 people about how often they exercise and how they feel about their sexual desirability and performance, a stronger selfimage can lead to more fun in the bedroom. In fact, 88% of the women who exercised four to five days a week rated themselves
"above average" or "much above average" when it came to making love. And the fitter the women were, the more desirable they felt.
27) A sharper mind -Several studies have found that women are less likely to experience a decline in cognitive function if they exercise regularly as they age, perhaps because exercise stimulates nerve cells in the brain, strengthening cognitive connections. In one study of 6,000 women, the risk of developing cognitive problems decreased by 13% for every mile the women walked.
28) A stronger infrastructure -The strength-training portion of your Curves workout is one of your strongest defenses against osteoporosis—a disease in which bones become fragile and prone to fracture—because it puts stress on your bones, causing them to create new bone to further support themselves. "Stressing your bones with weight-bearing exercise will cause them to reconfigure themselves to be stronger. If you don't, they'll reconfigure themselves to be weaker, because your body won't waste energy making strong bones if you don't need them. That's why you have to lift weights," says Dr. Oz.
29) Healthier eyes - Thirty minutes of exercise relieves eye pressure by 20%—good protection against glaucoma, an eye disease that can lead to blindness. Relieving pressure in the eye helps keep important fibers in the optic nerve from dying, which is one of the ways glaucoma causes loss of vision.
30) Can-do attitude - As your body becomes stronger, your faith in your abilities does, too. "When we put largely sedentary people on exercise programs, they often tell us, ‘I never thought I could actually do it,'" says Dr. Oz. "At first, they gain confidence when they can do the exercise, but that confidence soon spreads to other areas of their lives. And that's the most important result of regular exercise: It inspires us to make other healthful changes in our lives. We feel better when we exercise. We get rid of the inertia and lethargy that permeates so much of our lives, and that, in turn, prepares us to do other life-changing things like quitting smoking or eating more healthfully."
