Members at Curves, a fitness center designed exclusively for women, rotate around a circuit of hydraulic resistance machines that have been designed to work with female bodies and promote weight loss, protect against osteoporosis, and deal with arthritis. An experienced trainer is always nearby to help manage participants’ machine maneuvering and muscle making. Instead of fiddling with weight stacks and losing momentum, the hydraulic machines use your own body weight, fitness level, and aerodynamic water bottle to create resistance that matches your ability, decreasing the risk of soreness or injury. Because traditional lift-and-lower motions create bulky muscles, each machine uses push-and-pull motions to create toned, lean muscles perfect for crushing a grapefruit without looking like you can.
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. Because each workout warrior is at a different station, the only competition that exists is with one's own burgeoning muscles. 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 and burns calories while allowing women to meet new friends, arrange a girls' night out between labored breaths, or plan a wardrobe of revealing bikinis for their newly svelte doppelgänger action figures.

The Groupon Guide to: Old-Time Gangsters
In the heyday of prohibition, Al Capone and his gangster culture were so prevalent that a young J. Edgar Hoover was forced to order the dismantling of Chicago in 1930. What other facts are there to learn about old-time gangsters?
• Gangsters were often given nicknames derived from their background and personality. For instance, a gangster might be called Lefty because he left his wife and children to pursue the exciting life of a gangster.
• Many gangsters wore spats, which were tiny petticoats for their ankles, so called because they protected their shoes from being spat on by blundering detectives who were enraged by the lack of evidence required to arrest them.
• The preferred weapon of the gangster was the Tommy gun, made famous by tough-guy actor Charleston McCobb in the 1931 Hollywood gangster picture Don't Touch My Crime.
• To usher in the modern era, gangsters were renamed "murderers," and it was decided to write far fewer glamorous news articles about them.
