    It really depends on the location, as they are individual franchises. The Curves I attend is open at 5:30 am (or so I hear) until 7 pm and does not close in the afternoon. It's also open from 8 to noon on Saturdays. I've heard that the other two in town have fewer hours, but they're owned by someone else.
    It's close enough and quick enough that I can head down there at lunch or right after work, depending on whether I was able to get away at lunch.


    Oh, and thanks for the plug John!

    If kid chasing doesn't count, I don't know what does Duxxy. Also as for the walking, I look at it like this. One hour of walking everyday is one less hour of sitting at home in front of the television or computer with a bag of chips. See how good that is for you now?!

    My favorite exercise activity (no, wait, second-favorite ) is basketball. I play once or twice a week. I also jog a couple of miles on the treadmill once or twice a week (usually once). I lift weights once a week. And I take an abdominals class (15 minutes in length) twice a week. I also play softball during the season, but that hardly counts as exercise. You're just trying to avoid getting hurt.

    Some might say I sound like a fitness nut, but I will fight that characterization to my last breath!
    When you're ten years old and a car drives by and splashes a puddle of water all over you, it's hard to decide if you should go to school like that or try to go home and change and probably be late. So while he was trying to decide, I drove by and splashed him again. - Jack Handey

    Oh no. ALL couch potatoes do strenuous exercise seven or eight days a week.

    what i want to do and what i actually do are two very different things these days...
    i am coming off an Ironman Triathlon in November- where i was training about 150 miles biking a week- 50-60 miles running a week, and about 6-8 miles swimming a week...

    having said that- after the race i mentally snapped and couldn't seem to get off the couch for the longest time...
    i am back training at a very scaled back rate now- about 25 miles a week running, 50 miles a week biking, 1 swim session, and weights 2x a week...

    Very good for you Quinn! I'm impressed

    As for me, I lift weights every day, do ab workouts at night. Since its the offseason, i can't say I run too much, but I still play soccer/field hockey in the front yard from time to time. I wish I had the time to do something like a spinning class or some kind of class. I went to a few with my friend + her mom, and they were really good.
