I’m going to be somewhat (okay I’m still a bit in denial) in my mid-40’s this year. The rate the years pass by is just CRAZY. Honestly, I feel 30-something but the reality is, I’m not. It’s a known fact that the older we get the more we have to take care of our bodies by eating right and at least trying to be fit. At this age, I no longer have unrealistic body goals — I just want to be fit and healthy. Never mind the washboard abs lol, as long as I look okay, I’m fine.
I visited Curves in Robinsons Magnolia earlier today. You know I’m always in this mall but this is the FIRST TIME I’ve been here. I didn’t even know there was a Curves Magnolia. I’m happy of course. I’ve always been interested in Curves’ 30-minute circuit workout when they opened in BGC but it was just too far from me. This location is perfect since I’m based in Quezon City.
So the way Curves works is there are many different workout stations. You spend 30 seconds in each one. The progression is machine-mat-machine-mat and so forth until you complete the circuit. It takes 30 minutes to do so. After 30 minutes, you’re done for the day. They don’t recommend doing more than 1 round at a time. Curves caters only to women, so there’s less likelihood of feeling self-conscious when you’re working out.
The machines look deceptively easy to manage but they are actually quite challenging. They work out various body parts.
This one requires one to squat and then snap back up to stand. The snappy stand-up is not easy to do because of the resistance.
So far I’m really liking the kind of circuit training Curves offers. I’m really the farthest from being fit because I haven’t worked out in years so this is a good way of easing yourself back into exercise.
Curves Magnolia also offers group exercise classes like Zumba, Yoga, Cardio HIIT, and Box & Tone. I tried Zumba earlier this morning and I sweat buckets in spite of the super cold aircon!
Thank you Curves Magnolia for welcoming mommy bloggers today!
Curves Magnolia makes working out convenient. They have lockers where you can store your things.
The lockers are equipped with combination locks so you don’t need to bring padlocks.
There are showers and changing rooms too.
I was so sweaty from Zumba I had to change shirts lol. But wow, I will definitely be back for more circuit training! I can definitely make space for a 30-minute daily workout that’s close to home. Would you like to try working out at Curves Magnolia? I’m giving away a Curves Surprise Bag which will contain a GC for a FREE month at Curves Magnolia worth P3,490! It will also have a few other surprises of course. This is the 6th leg of my 9th blogversary giveaways.

Hoping to win. I’ve been really wanting to workout and get back to shape. After my 4th baby, i just gave up. He’s almost 4 now and I still have my “baby” fats.

I’m turning 42 this April and at my age I haven’t been to any workout or gym. I’ve done some excercises at home but not like this one. I would love to try Zumba and other stuff that would help me more flexible at my age para di napag iiwanan ng mga bagets ko sa lakaran, di maiwasan may mga sumasakit na at nagtutunugang buto..hehehe! Your right at this age, our goal is to be fit and healthy..plus na lang siguro kung ma achieve pa ang mala-Coca Cola body.
Omg!! This is a great activity po! Am so happy for you that you had time for this as part of your road to fitness! I wish to try this as well since this 2018, one of my goals to to be fit and healthy. Let us push forward! We can do this! Positive mind and determined body, we can be fit! ☺️ see you soon po

Wow ang gandaaaaaa. Gusto ko itry. Never 0a ako nakaranas ng gnyan hahaha
Love to try it Ms. Ro you know im not getting younger anymore need to fit and healthy for my family
Waah, sayang! I’ve been wanting to try Curves BGC since i’ts within walking distance. I’ve inquired already before. I’ll check out their site again and see if I can enroll in any of their programs. Layo kasi ng Plana Forma.
Very interesting! I’ve always seen the Curves branch in Eastwood near the cinemas and have always wondered what it was about. So this was an eye opener. This is really interesting and one I’d like to try especially since I’m on my #sportybefore40 fitness journey. I’ve been demotivated lately and maybe because I’ve been doing the same thing over and over. Maybe this is what will help motivate me back into pushing things into high gear,
Kailangan ko din ng work out nakaka stress pala ang mom duties but enjoy naman.
Kaya Lang layo nito dito amin I’m from BATANGAS CITY. Happy 9th Blog Anniversary po. God Bless and hoping to meet you in person. If mapili man ako I’m willing to attend napaka great opportunity na po ito na maka meet kayo in person. Thank you po
I really want to lose my flabs around my tummy…
i’ve tried several diet programs but none of them have lasting effects…
i know that winning this will help me start with my dream and goal… -to stay fit
Who says work out is for only people who want to lose weight? Work out is for everyone That’s why I would love to win because I want to look fit this 2018 and to be healthy as well.
