Ruth's Success Story
"It's Never Too Late!"

A year ago I was severely overweight, and afraid I would die young. I needed to do something. I had belonged to Jazzercise for 7 years, but I had yet to learn how to make myself healthier. I had asthma and was using my inhaler daily. But that was all about to change.

I joined Curves one year ago and started seeing changes in myself right away. I was feeling better and had more energy. Then I started learning more about my body, and how it works, and what changes I needed to make in order to make my body function better. I learned how to eat healthier. more fruits, vegetables, and a lot more protein. Incorporating exercise into my daily routine has become a huge priority in my life. Each and every day I look at what I put into my body and what I get out of it. If I don't eat well I don't feel as good as I normally do, and cannot work out as hard as I would like to. On the other hand, when I eat well I feel better and work much harder.

The Curves family is indescribable. The idea of being able to work out while socializing with women just like myself was very appealing to me. Some mornings the reason I come in is so I can talk with the other ladies. The Curves staff has become my fitness family, always there to encourage me, and be my cheerleader.

I know the changes I have made have given me back my life. Instead of worrying about not being able to do things with my family or dying young, I am out living life. I can now keep up with my kids. I can now dance the night away with my husband. I have my life back.

For those of you thinking about whether Curves is for you, I say it is never too late to get your life back.
