CIRCUIT BREAKER

Have you seen that thing you wrap around your waist that zaps electricity into your abs freaking them into perfection? Great idea, but until they come out with a full-body zapper-thingy, we’re stuck in the gym. However, we found a guy who’s one step closer to the perfect body in no-time right in Central Phoenix—Bob Mathews and his Perfect Body System. It’s a 27-minute, full-body workout with circuit training—a combination of weights and cardio. Bob claims three-times a week, if you do nothing else but keep an eye on your food, you’ll see and feel results immediately. His gym is small and intimate, offers chiropractic services, and the circuit classes (which can accommodate almost any schedule) are like mini personal training sessions. Mention SCOOP and Mathews will waive the initiation fee ($25) and sign you up without a contract for $24.95/month.

YOU DO THE MATH

What’s better than a 2-for-1? A 3-for-2! Whew, that was hard work. So reward yourself with two spa treatments at The Revive Spa, the 28,000-square-foot escape at JW Marriott’s Desert Ridge Resort, and they’ll reward you with a third treatment for free. If you’ve never had the chance to do a combo facial/massage/wrap or scrub, trust us, now’s your chance. Revive’s indulgent menu utilizes indigenous flora and fauna into many of its treatments, while the facilities include private balconies, water features, health club equipment and classes, and a rooftop cactus garden.

TEA FOR ALL

The internet's made almost everything available to anybody. As if brides, religion, and cheap tickets were not enough, the folks at Zawadi African Tea hit the net with their potent blends and sales have soared ever since. Word got around fast that the tea, containing half the caffeine as coffee, packs a bold flavor we haven't been able to find anywhere else. With three flavors (ones for invigoration, welcome, and discovery), Zawadi African Tea donates a portion of its profits to orphans in Kenya whose parents have died from AIDS. $6.50/box

HOW LOW CAN YOU GO?

Nowhere is safe from the low-carb craze. Vegas, the land of eternal overindulgence, is the latest victim. But thankfully, the low-carb meals dished out at cili Restaurant in the clubhouse at Bali Hai Golf Club (next door to Mandalay Bay), come from one of the best chefs in town, so very little is sacrificed in the name of health. Dishes like the smoked pork chop with caramelized shallot sauce and broccoli au gratin weigh in at 3 carbs; and don’t miss the 2-carb crème brulee—it’s just as fun as it’s carb-packing original.
