A strong man wrestles you to the ground to show off; a stronger man boosts your self-esteem then accidentally breaks three of your ribs with a supportive hug. Learn the tenets of both strength and caring with today's sensitive yet muscled Groupon. For $51, women get six heart-pumping, ladies-only boot-camp classes from DC Adventure Boot Camp (up to a $120 value).

Start your day with an appetizer of health in an hour-long morning boot-camp class. DC Adventure Boot Camp's sessions start at 6:05 a.m. at the Jefferson Junior High School. Classes will be held outdoors, unless the temperature (including wind chill) drops below 50˚ F. Check out the schedule to figure which camp session looks the slimmest and therefore the best fit for you. The next session begins April 6. Don't forget to bring a yoga mat, a towel, water, running shoes, and your own wrestling alligator in preparation for some calorie-incinerating, fat-nuking enjoyment.

Whitney Minnis, former professional soccer star and lead instructor of Adventure Boot Camp, has more than 15 years of fitness experience and a lifetime of short-short-wearing experience. He runs his legion of lovely lean ladies through a fast, fun fitness program to inspire and motivate you to live a healthier, more shredded life through creative workouts and flab-dismembering exercises. Depending on the day, you might run, lift weights, lob medicine balls, or punch slabs of beef, strengthening and shaping your body into a vixen of fitness ready to bench press your enemies and give piggy-back rides to your friends.
