Birds achieve their lean, muscular physiques through constant flight, with each flap generating enough energy to power a small village for eight years. Harness the power and grace of high-flying fitness with today's Groupon: for $16, you get your choice of one intensive two-hour aerial workshop or two boot-camp sessions (both a $32 value) at Frequent Flyers Productions in Boulder. Today's deal is good for the first session of Aerial Workshop in Aerial Fabric/Fabric Sling, Trapeze and Hoop, Aerial Sampler (most Mondays in July or August), or any drop-in boot-camp classes through December 31, 2010.

The 15-member company of dancers, choreographers, and teachers at Frequent Flyers Productions has taught nearly 8,000 people from all walks of life and all fitness levels the exhilaration of lifting off of the ground and dancing on air. Taste the entire off-the-ground menu with the Aerial Sampler as an appetizer or first course. In the Aerial Fabric/Fabric Sling workshop, sky walkers Valerie Morris, Danielle Hendricks, and Nicole Predki teach students (10 years of age and older) how to navigate a fabric forest like an elegant gibbon. Students of all abilities can progress at their own pace in the low-flying Trapeze and Hoop workshop.

One-hour Aerial Fitness Boot Camps cast off the redundant sweat sessions provided by push-ups, adding ripples to arms and abs in mid-air. Don well-fitting exercise clothes in order to prepare summer party tricks for barbecues handily equipped with a low-flying trapeze. Check the schedule and call ahead to reserve an airtime.
