Experience
I have been a personal trainer,aerobics instructor,nutrition advisor and boot camp instructor for several years,in South Florida.
I generally prefer to train people outdoors in a park setting.The workout outside is just as tough as a gym workout.I can give people a excellent workout using just their bodyweight.I do a bootcamp style class with groups of 5-10 people.

Question
I am mid 50 and am working on my health.  I walk 1-2 hours daily.  I am interesting in joining CURVES.  Will this be adequate weight training or do I need to lift wights also?

Answer
Hi Jan,
Thank you for your question.
Curves' hydraulic equipment will help you to a point with strength training,but you might reach your maximum strength on their machines with in a few months.
When you do reach your maximum strength-then you should start training with free weights(dumbbells and barbells) also.
Thank you,If I can be of any more assistance,just ask.
Bonnie
