Before trampolines, the only way to increase the elevation of a jump was to piggyback Michael Jordan. Bound into glory with today's Groupon to Sky High Sports in Bellevue. Choose between the following options:
• For $9, you get two hours of jump time, Monday–Thursday (up to a $19 value).
• For $11, you get two hours of jump time, Friday–Sunday (a $22 value).
Blanketed in wall-to-wall trampolines, Sky High Sports delights barefooted fun-seekers with springy terrain and an exclusive court for jumpers 8 and younger. Guests can hone front flips, back flips, and belly flops during intense free-bounce sessions. Each trampoline comes loaded with a specially designed, spring-loaded frame and thick, 2-inch safety pads that grant patrons a landing cushier than a corner office at a marshmallow factory. Stuffed with blocks of spongy, body-molding material, a foam pit dares treasure-seekers to fling themselves in or scour its depths for the lost contents of bygone pockets.
Pintsize aerialist posses can safely practice their synchronized salchows on 360 degrees of trampoline walls while court supervisors watch from the sidelines and bequeath hard-earned praise with oversize scorecards. Though not included in this Groupon, Sky High offers AIRobics fitness classes and monthly dodgeball tournaments to help jumpers explore the outermost stratospheres of trampoline possibilities.

Groupon Guide to: The President's Fitness Challenge
Once a year, the president goes to every grade school in the country and challenges students to hang on to their self-esteem—as well as to complete a series of exercises he made up. Here are the athletic trials that make up the President's Challenge:
Curl-ups The Challenge: In 60 seconds, see how many times you can touch your shoulder blades to your heels while lying on your stomach. This also measures your current level of gravity.
Shuttle Run The Challenge: Two traffic cones, which should be taken from a nearby construction site, are placed roughly 10 yards apart from one another. Starting at the first cone, run to the second and see how hard you can throw that cone in the general direction of the first cone without hitting it.
Sit and Reach The Challenge: As the name implies, this challenge tests your ability to sit still and re main silent for as long as possible without complaining about your body ach ing because your muscle tissue is wasting away.
Mile Run The Challenge: On a slip of paper, write down how many miles you think you can run.
Chin-ups The Challenge: As you hold onto a steel horizontal bar, the president asks you questions about whether or not you can overcome hardships like failing a math exam or getting only the smallest storage capacity iPod for a birthday gift. To answer "yes," raise your chin high enough to place it atop the bar, release your hands, and hang there for 30 seconds.
