Curves is a proud Supporting Sponsor of the Heart Foundation’s Go Red for Women campaign to help raise awareness about women and heart disease.
Heart disease is the number one killer of Australian women, yet despite this alarming statistic women are still dangerously unaware of their risk of heart disease. Curves and the Heart Foundation are committed to working together to improve the health of Australian women through regular physical activity and maintaining a healthy weight.
Reducing the risks of heart disease requires both regular physical activity and healthy eating and Curves is a facility specifically designed for women to provide one-stop affordable exercise and nutritional information.
The scientifically developed 30-minute Curves workout exercises every major muscle group and burns up to 2,000 kilojoules through a proven program of strength training, cardio and stretching.
To help reduce your heart risks, Curves recommends combining the 30-minute workout with the proven Curves Weight Management Plan.
In keeping with the Heart Foundation's Go Red for Women campaign values, Curves will continue to drive awareness of the benefits of regular and achievable exercise amongst women and encourage them to be active.
