Spin, cardio-spin, yoga-spin, and bench-press-spin your sedentary lifestyle in the seat of its unbuttoned pants. Today’s Groupon gets you 29 visits to La Jolla Sports Club and The Sporting Club. That’s 29 individual day-passes good at either facility—not a month’s membership—so you never waste a day you paid for. You can sweat at Pilates, cardio, yoga, and spin classes and work out on top-notch cardio and strength-training equipment several times a week before the expiration date, or use your Groupon every day for almost a month. Day passes are usually $15, or $25 if purchased in quantities of less than 10, so 29 of them for $29 is only $1 per visit.

Both gyms are well-endowed workout warehouses with group exercise studios (more than 80 classes a week at La Jolla), a qualified personal training staff, on-site childcare, and full spa amenities (personal training and spa services cost extra). Services at The Sporting Club include locker rooms with complimentary towel service, a juice bar, tennis courts, and a heated swimming pool; La Jolla’s services include a private Pilates studio and steam rooms. The spirit of health and self-improvement haunt the state-of-the-art Star Trac treadmills, Concept2 rowing machines, and Stairmaster Stepmills—even the most exercise-phobic will get into treadmill overdrive. Both gyms are clean, spacious facilities with friendly, helpful staff and an on-site potato farm for easy access to protein-rich spuds. Plus, there are so many machines that you’ll never have to wait for a recumbent bike or foxy-box for an elliptical.

Note: You’ll be entered into the club’s system the first time you go with your Groupon, but you’ll need to bring your Groupon with you every time you visit.

World's Healthiest Jokes

The American Exercise Science Board reports that laughter is not only the best medicine, it’s also the best exercise. A well-crafted joke is equivalent to running a mile, lifting weights for an hour, and then running a second mile. Here are two scientifically tested, most hilarious jokes to help you get in shape:

• What do you call a bald eagle who can’t swim? Philip!
• A squirrel seems to have crawled into my jacket. Perhaps this anti-depression medication will get him out.
