Activity Points?

[Samandmom]

How many do you get for doing a CURVES workout?

I don't know how long a curves workout is or what is involved, but I believe the rule of thumb is 1 extra activity point for every 20 minutes of exercise past the first 20 minutes of exercise. By this I mean if you exercise 20 minutes you do not get any points, but if you exercise 40 minutes you will earn one point and for 60 minutes of exercise will earn you 2 points. I know WW has changed their program since I got my material, so if I am wrong, someone please correct me.

Just giving this thread a bump. Thanks for the info so far Tiggerlover. Anyone know for sure. TIA

According to WW.com's calculator, weight training for 30 minutes using weight machines (I think that describes Curves, no?) is 3 points.

HTH!

I was just reading over my notes when I called Curves and I noted that the lady said you burn 600 calories per workout. Is there anywhere to calculate that out to how APOINTS it would give me. Sorry to be a pest with this but I just really want to know for sure. (especially since my VERY high dinner tonight)

It also depends on your weight, level of intensity (Light, moderate and high) Using 145 pounds for 30 minutes, at a moderate intensity it is 1.4 points. 180 pounds for 30 minutes, at a moderate intensity is 1.8 points. 200 pounds for 30 minutes, at a moderate intensity is 2 points.

Hope this helps some.
