Waiting to Curve…

Has anyone else gotten into Curves, the 30-minute, no hassle, let’s-you-feel-like-you’re-a-member-of-the-piously-exercising-public faux gym? It’s a wonder for those of us who hate harsh movements and counting breaths. Personally, I cannot coordinate my intake with my output, and I loathe being ordered to do one more rep for God and country by some stick-thin 20 year old who doesn’t know the meaning of the word cellulite (but she will, ha!). So for people like me there is Curves–a 30 minute circuit of machines and cardio. No men, no mirrors, no makeup. This commercial has not been brought to you by anyone in particular….

    I love the idea, but not the extreme right-wing, Xtian nonsense of the chain’s founder.

    I also do not love that they have no place to take a shower afterward.

    yeah, but i checked it out before i joined. he gives his money to pro-life clinics, not organizations. one of them is the only health clinic in the town. besides, these places are owned by women, and the one who owns mine is a raging progressive who is an activist for the dems. if there were any bushies in the place in the months leading up to the election, they didn’t dare utter a peep.

    Heh.

    Of course, there isn’t one near enough to me to be useful.

    There is, however, a Y right around the corner, with a pool. THAT I should be taking advantage of.

    Just wait–they’re becoming like Starbucks. And yeah, there’s a y near me, not to mention numerous “health clubs”, some of which I once belonged to.
