Looking to find a new activity or just something to mix up your weekly fitness routine? I have been addicted to a site called Groupon for a little over a year now. There are also similar sites out there, such as Living Social, or Screaming Deals. Over the last year I have participated in several different styles of yoga classes - heated or not, pilates - with machines and without, boxing classes, spin classes, massages, pole-dancing and training sessions. Every day you get sent a new email with the deal of the day, and you have 24 hours to purchase the deal or not. The size of the deal varies with each Groupon, it could be 85% off for a month of unlimited classes, or smaller discounts, such as 20% off for just 3 classes. These deals provide you with an opportunity to try new classes that you may have always wanted to try or that you have never even heard of before. If you find an activity that you really like many of the facilities will offer you a discounted rate on additional classes or on memberships.
It's a great way to get out of your exercise rut, and get out there and explore new activities you otherwise might have never tried due to the cost. A word from the wise, it's easy to get out of control and purchase too many deals. Make sure to look at the expirations dates for each deal, because many may only be available for a short amount of time. Also, take a look at when the classes are offered so that you can make sure that they fit into your schedule.
Bottom line is have fun, go out and experience something that you have been wanting to try while at the same time getting a great workout!
Pura Vida!
