All four limbs get in on the bag-bludgeoning action at iLoveKickboxing as each class provides a full-body workout that tones arm, leg, and tentacle muscles while tightening the body’s core and improving balance. Hitting the heavy bags won't skin your knuckles once you don the included boxing gloves, which also double as excellent spring-loaded props for re-creating Three Stooges gags. Class times and dates vary based on location. Check the class schedule for the Hanford location here.

To make sure your flab-blasting techniques are working your cardio system and toning your skeletal musculature with peak efficiency, you'll get a 40-minute personal-training session. A talented instructor will spend some time giving one-on-one feedback that will refine your form and help you punch through calories and walls in style.

Though iLoveKickboxing.com sometimes features discounted prices online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.

$79 for a Facial-Rejuvenation Package with Microdermabrasion and Custom Facial at Elite Wellness Spa ($200 Value)

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 08:00:55 +0000

Protecting yourself from the sun and eating right can help to prevent wrinkles, but nothing can stop Mother Nature from smooshing your face together while you sleep. Reverse her wrinkly wrath with today's Groupon: for $79, you get a facial-rejuvenation package at Elite Wellness Spa, located in the clubhouse of Dominion Courtyard Villas (a $200 total value).

A microdermabrasion treatment (a $125 value)
An essential custom facial (a $75 value)

The licensed skincare professionals at Elite Wellness Spa refresh faces with exfoliating microdermabrasion treatments and facials customized to suit clients' specific needs. At the beginning of the double-decker spa session, epidermis experts first consult with clients and the Delphic oracle to assess particular skin conditions and map out plans to address them. A microdermabrasion treatment then sloughs off dead or damaged skin cells from the top layer of facial façades, unveiling the fresh, healthy terrain hidden underneath.

During the custom facial, a gust of steam cleanses countenances and unwrinkles crumpled dollar bills before an aesthetician further exfoliates skin and massages the neck, face, and shoulders. Age-defying, calming, or detoxifying aromatherapy blends drift in and out of nostril passages throughout the pampering treatment, which ends with a special mask that soothes skin and targets specific epidermal maladies.
