$129 for a Tandem Skydive Jump from Westside Skydivers in Winsted (Up to $230 Value)

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, which is why every time a human attempts to fly, a bird attempts to drive a stick shift. Engage in one of the primary mandates of physics with today’s Groupon: for $129, you get a tandem skydive jump from Westside Skydivers in Winsted (up to a $230 value). Westside Skydivers’ USPA instructors strap themselves to visitors before they take a thrilling plummet over Minnesota’s charming lake scenery. Prospective parachuters learn the ropes of skydiving in a 30-minute orientation, during which expert cloud surfers guide students in skills such as how to pull the ripcord, steer the parachute, and effortlessly land on passing speedboats captained by supermodel spies. Planes then ascend into the clouds while students and instructors strap in to tandem parachutes, hopping into the wide blue yonder when vessels reach 10,000 feet. Jumper and instructor duos then freefall for 45 adrenaline-filled seconds, speeding up to 120 mph as the conjoined twosome gracefully flips and flies. With a pull of the ripcord at 5,500 feet, tandem pairs begin a leisurely five- to seven-minute descent back to the ground, where patrons are presented with a certified logbook and a nondisclosure agreement covering clouds’ trade secrets.

$850 for a CoolSculpting Body-Contouring Treatment at Crutchfield Dermatology ($1,500 Value)

Losing weight is a challenge almost as difficult as reading an entire dictionary or climbing a tree that’s covered in canola oil. Take an expert approach to tackling the task of slimming down with today’s Groupon: for $850, you get a CoolSculpting treatment for one area at Crutchfield Dermatology in Eagan (a $1,500 value). Choose one of the following areas: Love handles on both sides of the body Back or bra-line fat on both sides of the body Upper abdomen Lower abdomen Board-certified dermatologist Dr. Crutchfield and his team of friendly, experienced technicians work to purge pudge with the CoolSculpting system, a noninvasive liposuction alternative designed to contour bodies. Exhausted exercisers vexed by their lingering back fat, love handles, bra-area bumps, or padded marsupial pouches can evict freeloading fat during the one- to two-hour sculpting session. A pop of intense cold from two cooling panels crystallizes fat cells so they can be naturally flushed from the body over the following two to four months. Patients can surf the office’s WiFi or peruse a magazine during the procedure, which poses little to no downtime with results visible for most patients in as little as three weeks. The majority of patrons require only one treatment per area, and weight can be kept off long-term by eating right, exercising regularly, and avoiding funhouse mirrors. Some patients experience mild redness, tingling, or bruising posttreatment, which is temporary. Groupon Says The Groupon Guide to: Advertising Soup Read more…
