While feeling the burn during a workout is generally a good sign, feeling the burn while sitting on the sofa means your sofa is in the fireplace. Engage in controlled, constructive body burning with today's Groupon at Kettlebell Daily in West Haven. Choose between the following options:

• For $25, you get four kettlebell-based fitness classes (a $100 value).
• For $99, you get one month of access to Max Fatburn fitness bootcamp (a $235 value).

Kettlebell Daily takes flab by surprise with a creative exercise regimen built around the kettlebell, a cannonball-like weight used in a variety of brawn-building routines. Newcomers to the ways of the spherical strengthener must take two intro classes (either Beginner Skills or Open Skills Clinic sessions), and are then free to sample any of the schedule's other workouts, from Metabolic Mayhem to Hell's Bells. Ultradedicated strength seekers may benefit from the Max Fatburn bootcamp, wherein counselors coach clients on nutrition and fat-loss strategies before leading them through an intense swinging and lifting muscle hustle. Bootcamp goers attend three Max Fatburn classes each week and keep a food journal. With maximum class sizes of around 15, trainers get to know students’ goals, strengths, and pro-wrestler impersonation abilities.
