[A73]A New Level Live

Lipodissolve is a new kind of weight loss surgery that eliminates the concern for scarring. Usually, when a person has a procedure like liposuction, the incision that is made just below the navel, but that can leave a visible scar for those who prefer to go shirtless.

Lipodissolve was created so that people could lose the weight, but not worry about scarring. Since it is a minimally-invasive procedure as well, the patients does not have to deal with the risks that come along with what might happen during a procedure that requires total anesthetization.

The Lipodissolve process itself involves injecting a chemical into the layer of fat that needs to be removed. The purpose of the chemical is to dissolve the clusters of fat, thus giving the person (usually a woman) a more appealing physique.

The Lipodissolve procedure seems almost too good to be true, and in many cases it is. This procedure, since it is still new on the market, is actually not FDA approved. Those who have had the procedure done have experienced a numerous amount of side effects that make the procedure itself rather questionable.

For example, some people have more allergies than other people, and so it comes as no surprise that some of these people are allergic to the chemical that is being used in the injections. Most surgeons will test for any allergies beforehand, but because the amount of the chemical used in the actual procedure is not regulated, the overall outcome cannot be anticipated until the actual event.

Another thing that has been criticized about this procedure is the fact that the fat, while liquefied, actually doesn't become eliminated by the body. The scary thing is that it is unknown exactly where that fat ends up, which poses additional health risks.

Aside from there not being a possibility of scarring, another reason why people are drawn to this procedure is because they think they will see results immediately. Ironically, it usually takes a long time for people to see results after the procedure – sometimes up to a year! One of the reasons is because it takes a while for the body to adjust to its changing shape.

That doesn't stop people from still getting the procedure done because of the lower price. On average, this procedure is 30% cheaper than liposuction. That, paired with flexible payment plans, is enough for some people to risk their health in order to save money.

If you are interested in having a weight loss procedure done, you should make sure that you do all the research you possible can. This particular procedure, until it is approved by the FDA, is currently discouraged amongst most professionals. Maybe it's better to stick to a healthy diet and exercise.

Because it's b-o-r-i-n-g.

So why do it at all? The goal of a cardio workout is to lose the unwanted inches and to develop the efficiency of your heart and lungs. But new studies are out that show our slow-go cardio sessions may not be as effective for burning off that holiday bulge as we thought.

When you plod along on the treadmill at an even pace, your body enters what is called a steady state. This means that your body has adjusted to the pace and is now trying to conserve energy.

Conserve energy? But I thought the point was to burn energy?

And so your dilemma goes: You can't stand the monotony of traditional cardio and it leaves you with less than satisfactory results. So what should you do?

The answer is HIIT, a new training technique that blasts both boredom and fat.

"In research, HIIT has been shown to burn adipose (fat) tissue more effectively than low-intensity exercise - up to 50% more efficiently."

"HIIT speeds up your metabolism and keeps it revved up for some time after your workout. The bottom line is that HIIT training burns a greater number of total calories than low-intensity training, and more calories burned equals less fat on your body."

What is HIIT?

High-Intensity Interval Training: is an exercise strategy that improves performance with short training sessions. These sessions involve a warm up period, several short, maximum-intensity efforts that are separated by moderate recovery intervals, and a cool down period.

In other words, your 60 minutes of low-intensity cardio is replaced with more effective, High Intensity Interval Training for as little as 15 minutes. The addition of explosions of speed into your comfortable pace will increase your power, muscle tone, speed, strength, endurance and best of all will melt the inches off.

Here is an example of a HIIT program - this can be done on any form of cardio equipment or even jogging outside or swimming laps:

* Start with an easy 4 minute warm up, casually increasing your pace to the one that you usually maintain for your workout.

* Once you are sufficiently warm, sky rocket your intensity for 30 seconds.

* Return to your normal pace for the next 30 seconds and then sky rocket again.

* Repeat this 30-30 interval for 6 minutes and then gradually decrease your intensity as you enter a cooling off pace.

After your HIIT session you can expect to burn more calories due to an increase in your metabolism - sounds good, right? If you aren't ready to jump into a full-fledged HIIT session, try on of the following modified HIIT workouts:

Modified HIIT 1:
* Start with at least a 5 minute warm up, casually increasing your pace to the one that you usually maintain for your workout.

* Once you are sufficiently warm, increase your intensity for a full minute.

* Return to your normal pace and remain here until you have recovered enough to go again.

* Repeat this 1 minute interval with full recovery time between each one for the full extent of your workout and then gradually decrease your intensity as you enter a cooling off pace.

Modified HIIT 2:
* Start with at least a 5 minute warm up, casually increasing your pace to the one that you usually maintain for your workout.

* Once you are sufficiently warm, change your speed and intensity for 2 minutes.

* Return to your normal pace for 2 minutes and then change your intensity and speed again. The key is to keep your body guessing - you aren't doing full intensity work, but you also aren't staying at the same pace for the entire length of the workout.

* Repeat this 2 minute interval for the full extent of your workout and then gradually decrease your intensity as you enter a cooling off pace.

There you have it - all you need to take your cardio workout to the next level.
