Stuck

“You worked out religiously at Curves three times a week for the last month, and when you got measured today the tape didn't budge. Here's why you're not throwing in the towel...”Okay, we could don our pom-poms and cheer you on, "C-U-R-V-E-S, Curves is the very BEST! Keep on striving for three each week, and next month you'll shrink those cheeks." Or try a little guilt with, "Are you a quitter? Stick to it and it will pay off." Yeah - we didn't think that would work either. Zero results means you need to shake things up a bit. Here're two options.

1. Have you been working really, really hard? If this is true, you'll be happy to know you don't have to try that hard. Just like starving yourself can make your metabolism gear down, trying to burn too many calories through exercise can do the same. Take it down a notch.

2. Do you have variety in your workout? Sometimes it's easy to just go through the motions on the circuit. Try pushing yourself on different machines on different days. Pick up some new ways to move on the mats between stations from other members. Surprise your body by moving new muscles every which way and you'll get a nice surprise next month.
