    Now is this all calories burned with workout or just favorite? I do several things every night when I work out, not just eliptical machine. I usuall burn between 400 to 500 cal a day. Working out at least 5 days a week.

    Not sure when the week started - Monday or 1st August. Anyway, my exercise this week will be primarily on the cross trainer so let's count calories!

    Janetay01 - Curves is a Fitness Center for Women only, circuit training. Check online, I'm sure that they have a location near you. For women that do not feel comfortable working out around men or the body builder types at Gold's Gym - it works perfect for me.

    Thanks - looks like there might be one very local so I will check it out!
