A question for Curvers...

[JESW]

Just got back from my second workout this week...yay me! Anyhoot..today was triple-back tuesday. Our Curves does the triple-back on tuesdays & fridays. When I posted this another time no-one had heard of triple-back. Does anyone elses Curves do this??? It is a VERY intense work-out!! (You do all the machines 3x in one circuit instead of three circuits)

Just wondering...

Well good for you for going again this week.

Sorry I have not hear of the triple-back. I know on Wednesdays they have you go in the opposite direction at the location I go to.

I am trying to understand the triple-back. You only go around once but are on the machine three times?

The Curves that I go to never has anything special going on. Some have contests & differnet ways of doing the circuit. (There are some machines that I COULDN'T do 3 times in a row! - what about doing the recovery mat? I need that sometimes for my heartrate.) Oh - at mine you get a T-shirt or a book if you refer 3 people who sign up.

Let me try to explain the triple-back...

You start on a machine.
Tape says to go back - you go to a recovery mat.
Then the tape says to go forward, back to the machine.
Then the tape says to go forward to the recovery mat.
Then the tape says to go back to the machine.

Then you start all over again with the next machine. (or in this case you go back to the recovery mat THEN a machine)

So instead of going forward all the time you are concentrating on one machine (with recovery mat inbetween) so you end up doing it 3x during one circuit.

Sounds confusing but you just follow the tape and everyone else. But it is VERY intense for your muscles....great workout!!
