Soaking it all in & memorizing the equipment

The leg press
Single positive

Works the Gluteals, Hamstrings, Quadriceps and illiopsoas

Enter from the side of the machine. Allow your back to rest against back support. Grasp handles firmly. Place feet on the pedals with toes about one inch over the top of the footpad. Power forward. Back slow. Avoid moving rhythmically to the music. If person is very short, the square back pad may be placed at lower back. Back pad is not needed for most people.

Must memorize all of the equipment before going to Curves Club Camp, which muscle groups they work, and the script for teaching others. Annie is way ahead of me, but this 46 yr old mind can still hum. I can do this.

I loved reading Gary Heavin's Ten Keys To Success. He is the founder of Curves Intl. Here is number #1: If you want to know that grand thing for which you were designed...you've got to know the grand designer. What is your foundation in life? As a born-again Christian I know that I have great value, that I am created in the very image of almighty God, and that His plan for my life is infinitely superior to mine. As a result, I have tremendous self-confidence and a clear value system that allows me to be reliable and trustworthy. I am able to forgive myself and others which frees my mind so that I have time to dream and perform the hard work of achievement. I know that I am building on a foundation of rock rather than sand.
