💜💜 Strengthening Women 2026 💜💜

One of the keys to acquiring a new habit is an environment of support and we have that in buckets 🪣🪣🪣🪣

💜 You will be surrounded with women who share the same goals (getting those workouts), and face the same challenges (no-one has time!)

🤩 As you see others acquiring the habit, overcoming obstacles and self-doubt, showing up successfully, you will start to notice (and celebrate) your own achievements - sometimes it’s the smallest things that make the biggest difference!

💪 Your Curves Coaches will make sure you can FEEL the benefits and SEE the results - as your understanding increases so will your motivation

🔥 We have some practical tools to help you too; a workout log journal to set goals, make a plan and track your actions, monthly Coaching & Accountability sessions with a Coach for clarity and increased motivation, monthly prizes for attendance and planning, in-club challenges for an extra push

💜💜 Strengthening Women 2026 💜💜 The secret to our 30-minute workout is our machines - let's take a closer look at the rotary torso machine 🔥 – it often feels like a tricky one to handle, it's mighty tough (when you get it right) and your face will tell that tale!

It works the oblique muscles which unite with your other core muscles to keep your middle tight and under control... you DON'T need those special knickers to do this, you have muscles!.

Talking of knickers, these muscles are the ones that give you the sexy v which will launch your lingerie modelling career... However, if you've got other things to do in life a strong core means;
💜 Strong balance to make everyday tasks easier - anything involving lifting and turning is made easier when these muscles are there to support you (even sitting will be easier…)
💜 Improved posture - making you look and feel a million dollars
💜 You can work the other muscles harder on the other machines because your core is doing what it should - holding you in place
💜 You are a warrior that has overcome everything that has sabotaged your body - babies, sitting at a desk, driving, high heels, the passing of time...

💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥 KAPOW! Congratulations Gemma AND Coach Lisa 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥��

🤩 May Top Goal Setter Go Getter was a DOUBLE winner month as the first person out of the prize draw was Coach Lisa 🤩 When a Coach wins we always draw again for a member to win too and next out of the hat was our lovely yoga teacher Gemma 😍

💜 Coach Lisa snapped up one of our fabulous 30-Minute Crew 💥💥💥 KAPOW! 💥💥💥 t-shirts and Gemma opted for a gorgeous Curves vest 👚��

💜 Gemma's been a member since April 2024. As a yoga teacher she knows how important Strength Training is and really wanted to lead by example and give it its proper place in her daily routine. She teaches yoga in various locations and fits her workouts around her classes. Not having to book and knowing she will only be 30-minutes makes it all doable and she loves taking that time for herself in an environment where she gets the support of the Coaches instead of the other way around 😁

💜 Coach Lisa joined us in September 2024 and leading by example has always been important to her. "As a coach, I’ve always felt like we’re the ones people look up to — so self-discipline is something I’ve truly focused on over the last year and a half. Being part of Curves has helped me build strong, consistent habits around exercise and mindset." Kapow to that Lisa 💥

🧠 Our brains are incredibly powerful things, and using them to consciously tell the muscles to do their job will have a huge impact on the benefits of your workouts.

💪 Your technique will improve. ✅ Your Smart data will be more accurate. 🔥 You will have a strong base to build from. 😫 You will have less pain in your joints, or even eliminate it entirely - during your workouts, and your day to day life. ⚡️ You will have more energy because you are using your body more efficiently...

Sometimes we joke about “going to your happy place” in your mind while you are working out, but there is some truth here, and some benefit. Rather than it being a dissociative process, “zoning out” can mean a person is focused in their own present moment, they’re really paying attention to...

💯 As Coaches we are always battling against the misguided use of perfection as a measure of success. Our fight is real and we've become absolute ninjas in how we push back against what fundamentally comes from beauty standards and diet culture. 🥷

💭 Women's thoughts about their bodies and their performance in the gym can be detrimental to them actually making progress. One of the most important lessons we teach about Strength 💪 Training is that to get Stronger, first you must fail. It's how our bodies work.

🙅‍♀️ Failure is an essential part of the process. Without failure we don't get progress.

🎧 This episode is what you probably need to hear, more than once, to move you from the perfection mindset to the progress one. "Lost days hurt you more than successful days help you". Every workout counts, not the perfect ones, EVERY ONE.

🎙️ https://www.curvesilkeston.co.uk/coaches-blog/perfection-will-slow-your-progress or find us on Spotify, Apple Podcast and all the major podcast platforms. Just search "The Power of 30"

Time and again we see people not even start, not try, not even take the first steps towards their goal because they can't do it perfectly, or they can't stand the thought of failing. Learning something new, attempting something new, or working towards a goal just isn't like that.

💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥 KAPOW! Congratulations Abi 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

💜 Abi won herself a 30-Minute Crew 💥💥💥 KAPOW! 💥💥💥 t-shirts in our Top Attenders May prize draw!

Abi joined us in April 2024 because she was ready to make time for herself, amongst the needs of her young family. It has always been important to her to use her workouts to keep Strong both mentally and physically, and 30-minutes with us ✅ all the boxes for her and helps her to protect her boundaries, meaning she has emotional space, and energy to spend on her little ones. It's a perfect arrangement 🙌

Our Top Attenders prize draw is taken from everyone who did 14 workouts or more in the month and we are super proud of all you who make it onto the Top Attenders board as it shows consistency and focus. ��

🔥 Remember, effort = results and you simply cannot get the benefits of the workout unless you show up for it! ��

⌚️ We would rather a hundred imperfect workouts than one perfect one in the same timeframe.��Frequency is what establishes a robust habit so never miss an opportunity, whether it’s the first workout this week (this month, or in a while) or the 14th�� - keep planning, and showing up until you are doing it frequently enough.����

💜💜 Strengthening Women 2026 💜💜 The secret to our 30-minute workout is our machines - let's take a closer look at one 💪

💪 Who doesn't want Strong arms? The bicep tricep machine is probably one of the most popular on the circuit, maybe influenced by our Coaches’ passion for "Strong guns"

When you first start using this machine it feels like you have noodles for arms but due to its design to specifically work the biceps and the triceps only, you will quickly notice a difference during your workouts.

💥 Before very long you will notice ACTUAL MUSCLES that you will want to show off ! (And hopefully someone else notices and tells you because there’s nothing nicer than being told ya got muscles or look Strong!)

😎 The phrase "Suns out guns out" will bring a whole new meaning to you!

There's a heap of other reasons to give this machine everything you have, in BOTH directions, to gain real strength in your arms;
💜 With Strong arms comes independence and the ability to handle greater physical feats
💜 You'll be better able to carry a heavier load
💜 You'll be better able to give a heartier hug 🤗
💜 Strong arms reduces pressure into the shoulder joint relieving shoulder pain and preventing injury
💜 With increased Strength comes toning... lovely toned arms lift your confidence and your feelings of independence!
