Getting in shape is a feat harder than finding a needle in a haystack or remembering why you were hemming the cow’s prom dress in the first place. Beef up and drop a dress size with today’s Groupon: for $19, you get five fitness classes at Top Notch Fitness in Westmont (a $75 value). This Groupon excludes the women’s group-training class.
The skilled instructors at Top Notch Fitness help to chisel more shapely shapes with a dizzying array of classes including boxing, mixed martial arts, and sweat-shedding circuit training. Learn self-defense in muay thai classes, mastering the powerful punches and the leg-toning kicks of Thailand’s national sport. Jiu-jitsu attendees learn to grapple, ground fight, throw choke holds, and dominate a larger opponent, and ladies sculpt lean muscles in one-hour women’s kickboxing classes, which utilize medicine balls, jump ropes, and target pads to burn fat faster than lighting a butter churn on fire. The fitness haven holds classes for all types of exercisers, from beginners to competitors. Check out the schedule for a complete listing of available class times or to remember how many Saturdays there are in a week.

The Groupon Guide to: Choosing Produce
There's no worse feeling than when you buy what you assume is perfectly ripe produce only to discover it's too hard or have it dissolve into a pile of ashes in your grocery bag. Here are some tips for filling your basket with ready-to-eat fruits and vegetables:
- Broccoli: Drag the vegetable florets-side-up across your arm. Each should be firm enough to rid your forearm of unwanted hair.
- Cherry: You'll have to tear through the tasteless, inedible outer layer to test the cherry's high-protein, peanut-like core. Once you expose the cherry nut, swallow it and rate the pain you feel as it gradually moves down your throat. If it's less than a seven, it's too ripe.
- Apple: Smell an apple. Does it smell apple?
- Cantaloupe: Knock on it to determine if it's hollow. If it is, there's a gerbil living inside subsisting on the fruit's ripe core. Hurry up! You'll have to eat quickly to beat the gerbil.
- Pumpkin: This orange, round gourd shouldn't deflate easily, so repeatedly stab it with something sharp, such as a hunting knife or the tools doctors use to open their mail.
