Instead of fiddling with weight stacks and losing momentum, the hydraulic machines use an individual's own body weight, fitness level, and aerodynamic water bottle to create resistance that matches abilities, decreasing the risk of soreness or injury. </p> <p>For 30 minutes, limbering ladies move around a circuit that positions machines inward so that they'll have a chance to share laughs and secret handshakes with fellow fitness frontierswomen.

A soundtrack of fun, upbeat music includes cues that tell participants it's time to move on to the next station. The complete aerobic and strength-training workout raises heart rate, burns calories, and allows women to meet new friends, arrange girls' nights out between labored breaths, or plan wardrobes of revealing bikinis for their newly svelte doppelgänger action figures.</p> <p>This Groupon also includes two <a href="http://www.curves.com/the-workout/zumba-fitness.php">Zumba classes</a> that combine Latin-inspired dancercise steps with Curves's strength training for sessions that can burn hundreds of calories at a time.

A nourishing mask then works to expel lactic acid from muscles in an effort to improve circulation, before an exfoliating salt scrub and loofa team up to rid feet of rough patches and sprouting Chia. During the <a href="http://mc3salon.com/skin-care/">signature facial</a>, aestheticians target specific skin ailments, gently whisking away excess oil and dingy skin cells before enswathing the skin in a nourishing facial mask designed to seal in moisture and restore skin’s natural luminosity. </p> <p>Trained massage therapists then lavish attention on overworked muscles by employing one of <a href="http://mc3salon.com/massage/">eight massage techniques</a>. Firm pressure defines the deep-tissue massage, an ideal technique for victims of accumulated stress and repeated placement at the bottom of human pyramids. Smooth stones work to redirect off-kilter energy flow during the hot-stone massage, and the assisted stretches in the Thai massage work to lengthen tight limbs. During the whole process, organic aromatherapy and soothing massage oils foster a state of deep relaxation normally only achieved by listening to Yanni perform alongside a choir of whales. </p><h3>Groupon Says</h3><p>The Groupon Guide to: Writing an Urban Legend</p><p>Can I make an urban legend from soap?</p><p><a href="http://www.groupon.com/deals/dc-val-mc3-salon-wellness-center">Read more...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponCharlotte?a=DTxKAJmD6Qw:cBnGRrs7CwU:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponCharlotte?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponCharlotte?a=DTxKAJmD6Qw:cBnGRrs7CwU:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponCharlotte?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponCharlotte?a=DTxKAJmD6Qw:cBnGRrs7CwU:KwTdNBX3Jqk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponCharlotte?i=DTxKAJmD6Qw:cBnGRrs7CwU:KwTdNBX3Jqk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponCharlotte?a=DTxKAJmD6Qw:cBnGRrs7CwU:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponCharlotte?i=DTxKAJmD6Qw:cBnGRrs7CwU:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div> http://groupon.com/charlotte/deals/dc-val-mc3-salon-wellness-center http://groupon.com/charlotte/deals/dc-val-mc3-salon-wellness-center Thu, 09 Feb 2012 05:01:19 +0000 <img align="right" alt="$20 for $40 Worth of Flowers and Gifts from FTD" src="http://www.groupon.com/images/site_images/1991/0400/FTD--valentinesday.jpg" width="120" /><p>Fresh flowers spruce up Valentine's Day dates easier than making your own candy or paying your nephew to dress as a Cupid-themed living statue.

The gluten-free blends anoint taste buds with lemon-citrus, orange-pomegranate, and strawberry-mango flavors, and, like a love potion from concentrate, can be consumed from the bottle or mixed with water to taste.</p><h3>Groupon Says</h3><p>The Groupon Guide to Everyman’s Classics: Animal Farm</p><p>Is a society run by animals doomed to fail/be hilarious? </p><p><a href="http://www.groupon.com/deals/charlotte-simplifast">Read more...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponCharlotte?a=TaAgb8WmDjE:_d5G43OmCLo:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponCharlotte?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponCharlotte?a=TaAgb8WmDjE:_d5G43OmCLo:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponCharlotte?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponCharlotte?a=TaAgb8WmDjE:_d5G43OmCLo:KwTdNBX3Jqk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponCharlotte?i=TaAgb8WmDjE:_d5G43OmCLo:KwTdNBX3Jqk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponCharlotte?a=TaAgb8WmDjE:_d5G43OmCLo:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponCharlotte?i=TaAgb8WmDjE:_d5G43OmCLo:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div> http://groupon.com/charlotte/deals/charlotte-simplifast http://groupon.com/charlotte/deals/charlotte-simplifast Tue, 07 Feb 2012 05:01:26 +0000 <img align="right" alt="60- or 120-Minute Photo Package for One or 80-Minute Photo Package for Two from Justin Kates (Up to 78% Off)" src="http://www.groupon.com/images/site_images/1990/3686/Justin-Kates-Photography2.jpg" width="120" /><p>Before modern photography, portrait-seeking subjects would cover themselves in year-end financial figures to meet the requirements for being xeroxed.

Situated at an elevation of 3,500 feet, the Balsam Mountain Inn was built to serve travelers passing through the Balsam Gap depot, one of the highest railroad stations in the southeast. To accommodate steamer trunks, the hotel's rooms and corridors were built extra wide. A restoration in 1991 added private baths, but the inn's spacious layout and ample, 100-foot-long porches were preserved. Vintage furniture, an original mansard roof, and an absence of TVs and other noisy distractions serve as a nostalgic reminder of the past.</p> <p>Each of the 50 <a href="http://gr.pn/wGQ1fp">guest rooms</a> is decorated in different colors, textures, and furnishings. Stationed just off the lobby, room 100 evokes country elegance with pink iron bed frames, rosebud bedding, and a diamond-studded butter churn. Suite 334, a two-room lodging on the third floor, features a palette of greens and reds, complemented by whitewashed wooden floors and a wall tapestry depicting a farm scene. In suite 310's plum-colored bathroom, a claw-foot tub stands next to a rope hammock. </p> <p>While the menu varies by day, a complimentary breakfast may include blueberry waffles and bacon served in the wood-appointed <a href="http://gr.pn/xxzZAF">dining room</a>. À la carte meals can also be savored on the adjoining dining porch, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame vistas of a sprawling, verdant lawn. The restaurant also hosts Songwriters-in-the-Round, a long-running music series that features performances from Grammy Award–winning Nashville artists. </p> <h4>Balsam, North Carolina: Small Mountain Town Minutes from Blue Ridge Parkway</h4> <p>The small town of Balsam¬ is tucked between the Plott Balsams and Great Balsam Mountains, 40 miles west of Asheville. Twenty-four acres of wooded hiking trails surround the inn, and an entrance to the <a href="http://gr.pn/ei58Ji">Blue Ridge Parkway</a> lies just a half-mile away. One of the country's most popular scenic drives, the road winds along the lavender spine of the Blue Ridge Peaks and through the fog of the Great Smoky Mountains, passing wildflower meadows and ziplining elk along the way. More than 100 hiking trails branch off the parkway, including the Appalachian Trail, which stretches all the way from Georgia to Maine. </p><h3>Groupon Says</h3><p></p><p><a href="http://www.groupon.com/deals/ga-m-balsam-mountain-inn">Read more...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponCharlotte?a=prpwgbBD_yk:L38JaK3gim8:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponCharlotte?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponCharlotte?a=prpwgbBD_yk:L38JaK3gim8:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponCharlotte?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponCharlotte?a=prpwgbBD_yk:L38JaK3gim8:KwTdNBX3Jqk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponCharlotte?i=prpwgbBD_yk:L38JaK3gim8:KwTdNBX3Jqk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponCharlotte?a=prpwgbBD_yk:L38JaK3gim8:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponCharlotte?i=prpwgbBD_yk:L38JaK3gim8:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div> http://groupon.com/charlotte/deals/ga-m-balsam-mountain-inn http://groupon.com/charlotte/deals/ga-m-balsam-mountain-inn Tue, 07 Feb 2012 05:01:01 +0000 <img align="right" alt="$45 for Mud Run Entry at The Dirty Hog in Laurinburg ($92 Value)" src="http://www.groupon.com/images/site_images/1983/0230/The-Dirty-Hog.jpg" width="120" /><p>Running was popular in Europe long before it caught on in America, which is why most races are measured in kilometers instead of miles and why most of the Pilgrims were eaten by bears. Race to the top of the food chain with today's Groupon: for $45, you get one entry to the mud run on May 5, at <a href="http://dirtyhog.com/index.html">The Dirty Hog</a> in Laurinburg (a $92 value).</p> <p>Designed by U.S. Special Forces and reality-show veterans, The Dirty Hog’s mud run promotes teamwork and tenacity on an untimed 9- to 12-mile trek through mudslicks peppered with obstacle-laden checkpoints. Participants shape their destiny at multiple checkpoint challenges, with each success potentially shortening the trek ahead and each failure earning burdens such as sacks of pig feed or a piglet that must be raised to maturity. The surpassing of tests can also earn mud navigators colored bracelets, tradable for beer, hearty pork fare, and other delights at a free after party awash in live music and celebratory grunts from Lola, the event’s mascot boar. Each runner sips a free beer, hugs a beautiful Hog Girl, and dons a free Hog Tag symbolizing course completion during the closing festivities. Teams cry out victory chants as solo entrants compliment each other on mud stains in the shape of Herbert Hoover’s silhouette.
