🥵 Have you ever thought about not trying so hard?

I know it sounds counterintuitive but one thing we see all the time is women trying so hard to get everything right, they end up not doing anything...

1️⃣ So you can only do one workout this week? Then do that, don't not do one because you can't do 3....
🫩 Not feeling it? Do it anyway, it doesn't matter and you will probably, most likely, definitely feel better for doing it that going home to the 🛋️ (because you can do that after as well!)
🤨 Not sure if you can make it/ want to/ got time to? Yes, yes and yes...

Because half a decision is enough, and it has the power to change everything! 🔥

Anyway, your replies got me thinking, especially Dawn W’s (thank Dawn).   Some of you pointed out that you often come for your workout on “half a decision”, and often those are the best workouts (which reminded me that I’ve had that particular phenomenon on my list for an email or a blo...

🧠 Your mindset is your most powerful tool for motivation 🔥

✅ You can literally talk yourself into, or out of anything - whether or not you get your workouts is all down to you, and how you think...

The best news is - mindsets can be worked on, improved and changed beyond recognition!

🎧 on, find something to do that doesn't require thinking, and let our voices fill your head! (It has been said we know what we are talking about 😁)

📣 Take bold action before fear has a chance to speak 📣

💪 Whether you've not exercised in a while (months or years), or have never exercised (properly), or have had bad experiences before - our workout is for you.

📝 The story we often hear is "I wish I had done it sooner". What's holding you back? Usually fear. If we don't see women like us exercising, how will we know what's possible? How will we know what women's bodies actually look like IRL? 🤷‍♀️ How will we know that our bodies, are just like everyone else's, and can do so much more than we realise?

😎 We don't need to lose weight to start exercising. We don't even need to lose weight to improve our health. We need to move our bodies every. single. day.

🤩 Welcome to the lovely ladies who took action in the last few months and stopped thinking about it 😎

💜 Huge thanks to all our members who so generously let us share their photos, their personal victories, their journeys and showcase our workout in action.

🔮 Your past does not predict your future! If you have failed in the past with exercise and weight loss efforts let’s assess your experiences;

👭 Did you have a Coach to guide and support you?

💪 Did you include Strength Training? Developing lean muscle provide support for joints and vertebrae that keep your body stable and working properly AND increases metabolism.

💜 Did you have a community of support - encouragement from others, seeing others succeed, someone to notice your achievements, someone to encourage you when it feels hard?

😅 Was it fun, was it YOUR kind of fun?

📚 Did you understand what you are doing and why?

💥 Could you feel and see the benefits of your efforts?

🌍 Our mission is to change the world by giving YOU the tools to live a healthy life; Strength, balance and community. Your Curves Coach is a part of your membership from Day 1. It can be different this time.

If you are Strength Training as you lose weight, your body will prioritise and protect muscle tissue and tend to burn more body fat for energy. Muscle tissue burns a lot of energy. When you are trying to lose weight and keep it off, it is critical that you do all that you can to burn primarily body fat and preserve muscle mass.
