Appropriate for any age -- from 12 to 105 -- the equipment adjusts according to your skills. This one size fits all approach can work for nearly anyone regardless of the shape you are currently in.

In addition to the 30-minute workout, there is also a nutritional component known as The Curves 6-Week Solution. The Curves plan includes five small meals throughout the day instead of three large meals. There are two programs - one that's high in protein and another that's high in carbohydrates.

The 6-Week Solution includes an intake of 30 to 45 percent, and a restricted intake of unhealthy carbs and sugar-laden foods.

A few of the benefits of the 6-Week Solution include a revved metabolism from eating and strength-training. In addition, you're following a well-balanced diet that is both healthy and easy to stick to. Forget calorie-restrictive programs -- you will enjoy 2,0000 to 2,500 calories a day.

It is recommended that you limit your intake of processed foods, although there are no off-limit foods. You can receive additional nutrition guidance through small classes at the gym or with a copy of the Curves book.
