Although inflatable muscle suits are easy to apply and double as flotation devices, natural brawn actually lifts heavy objects and doesn't deflate when given a routine allergy shot. Blow up your fitness routine with today's Groupon: for $59, you get two months of unlimited CrossFit classes at TBC CrossFit (a $400 value).
An experienced personal trainer, amateur bodybuilder, and former gymnast, TBC CrossFit coach Carrie Carmichael discovered her true calling in the fitness industry while working as a police officer and helping fellow cops get and stay in shape. With four other trainers on staff, TBC CrossFit conditions exercisers with a high-intensity conditioning style that wields functional movements and short bursts of cardio to quickly whittle and tone bodies. Those new to the practice must first enroll and attend CrossFit fundamentals, during which instructors oversee newbies’ technique to ensure safe execution of the nine foundational movements of CrossFit: squats, front squats, overhead squats, press, push press, push jerk, deadlifts, medicine ball clean, and sumo deadlift high pull. After four to eight fundamentals classes, patrons graduate to regular-level CrossFit sessions, which wield barbells, kettle bells, sandbags, medicine balls, and body-weight resistance to mold muscles. Classes change routines regularly in order to keep muscular adaptation at bay, while the studio’s schedule includes classes that convene seven days a week in the early morning, evening, or at lunchtime to accommodate any busy work or egg-pickling agenda.

Size: The ball is a scale model of earth, so its size changes every year to match the diminishing diameter of a planet slowly being trampled by its inhabitants.
Material: The ball is constructed from the finest Waterford crystal and held together by several hundred Pepsi stickers.
Contents: Traditionally, the ball is filled with:
• One animal from every species
• Children's letters to Santa
• All the extra money that the year's millionaires are tired of
• The oft-expunged choose-your-own-adventure Bible chapters
Speed: The ball is actually descending imperceptibly slowly throughout the entire year.
Reaction: As soon as the ball reaches its base, millions of people all over the world instantly begin weeping inconsolably in memory of the year that just died.
