Arianne Suggs October 22, 2019October 22, 2019

Does working out seem like a drudgery? Or perhaps are SUPER BUSY and would love a workout that allows you to save TONS of time without sacrificing effectiveness? Meet CAR.O.L … the fitness revolution that will give you results in no time flat with just 2 twenty second pushes of exertion. WHOA!

CAR.O.L. -The AI HIIT Bike That Slims in 40 Seconds

The tech in a CAR.O.L bike is way ahead of other exercise bikes, making regular workout regimes redundant, so forget spending hours on Peleton, ditch the gym, spin class and your personal trainer. This is the first truly personalised, time saving, life-changing workout that is like being in the lab with a scientist calibrating every second of your exercise regime to get maximum results.

Every session is personalised and two 20 second hard sprints means that 3 rides a week; (as part of a full 9 minute session that includes an effortless warm up and warm down); is all it takes to get you fit and slim and improve your health and quickly reach your fitness goals.

Facts on Facts on Facts!

In a randomised, independently funded trial; the prestigious American Council of Exercise scientifically found that a short workout on CAR.O.L; (with only 2 x 20 seconds of hard work); makes obsolete regular US government exercise guidelines of 5 x 30 minutes sessions a week:

“CAR.O.L outperformed Government Guidelines on every measurement.

32 participants were allocated into two groups in a randomized controlled trial over eight weeks. One group exercised with [with the bike] three days per week. While the other group exercised 30 minutes for five days per week in line with Government Guidelines.

CAR.O.L’s glycogen depletion workouts are so effective and efficient that the group exercising with CAR.O.L got double the gains in a fraction of the time”.

In a nutshell: Regular use doubles fitness gains and improves many key health markers. Watch the video here to find out how regular sessions on CAR.O.L leads to rapid depletion of glycogen stores.

Such depletion leads to weight loss, a drop in blood sugar as well as blood pressure. Thus, making it also ideal for people with diabetes; metabolic syndrome and pre-diabetes, high blood pressure and other health problems.

But Wait… It Gets Better, Save Some Coins!

This bike is a game changer for the time poor, the exercise haters; biohackers and also the early adopters. Working out on CAR.O.L means you no longer need to spend hours in the gym or have gruelling session with personal trainers and the great news is there is $300 off for Black Friday.

SAY WHAT?! Yes loves, get an incredible $300 off the smart tech AI; HIIT exercise bike between Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

Moreover, CAR.O.L is pushing the boundaries of everything we know about exercise. Also, it is scientifically proven to give you guaranteed results in the shortest amount of time possible. One session delivers a more effective and better workout than regular cardio and you won’t even sweat.

DON’T FORGET! Last reminder get cute with this amazing piece of fitness equipment at a fraction of the cost. $3000 REDUCED TO $2700 for Black Friday through Cyber Monday. Happy Shopping!

Forever 21 Sends Atkins Bars to Customers and It Got Ugly

Arianne Suggs July 23, 2019July 23, 2019

With all of our fashion might we want to believe this was done with good intentions. Nevertheless, the internet was met with displeasure today as news spread that Forever 21 Sends Atkins Bars to its customers; INCLUDING those who ordered plus size clothing. Yikes.

Forever 21 Sends Atkins Bars to Customers and It Got Ugly

Now being that it is summer and this brand is geared towards teens and the 20s set. Many of us probably are obsessing about how we currently look in our bikinis and IG photos. So then, Forever 21 may have felt like they were doing all of their consumer base a favor by sending out a mass supply of “healthy” conscious bars.

However, let’s get real. We are living in a world where a sneeze is enough to offend someone. Much less a popular clothing brand giving off the impression that it’s fans are well… fat. Therefore, how’d did everyone in the F21 corporate office miss this flub?

Several customers who received their fashion orders along with the bars took to social media in order to air their displeasure. Many were immediately offended by the gesture. Feeling that Forever 21 should apologize for their error. Some of their thoughts:

“I am FUMING that Forever 21 is actually sending Atkins Bars in Plus Size orders. Are you LITERALLY KIDDING me?? What is wrong with you?!”

“Yes shame on me for ordering from Forever 21 but why do they have to push diet food on me? It came with an Atkins bar.”

“Since Forever 21 feels I should go on a fad diet; maybe now is a good time to tell you all about my already existing fitness journey that doesn’t include Atkins Bars or Forever 21!”

“Forever 21 is a garbage company, and their PR team can choke.”

So How Should We Proceed Captain?

Strong words, huh? Well as of yet right now, Forever 21 is still keeping lips sealed. There are no current statements about the Atkins Bars or any formal apology.

While there is a multitude of customers who are upset about this food delivery. Still others are totally okay with it. Even prompting those who are mad that they received them; to forward the bars to them instead. One F21 fan said, “Bruh, its free food… shut up and eat it!”

Thus, showing that in this world it hard to please or satisfy anyone. We will await to see how Forever 21 decides to handle this situation.

Fat Freezing Procedure: “Contrast Contouring”-The Newest Breakthrough Technology

ArianneUpdated on March 13, 2019March 12, 2019

Hold up… Fat Freezing Procedure just got a new spin! Instead of just freezing; Contrast Contouring adds heat and variable vacuum pressure; which combines to offer improved fat loss and far less bruising. Interesting.

Fat Freezing Procedure: “Contrast Contouring”-The Newest Breakthrough Technology

KATY, TEXAS, UNITED STATES, February 28, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ — Fat freezing technology is in its infancy; yet it already has had some incredible advances in the never ending search for fat loss. The original method of freezing body fat, called Cryolipolysis; starts by freezing the fat cells in a treated area down to 12.2° for 35 minutes under a constant vacuum. This method, according to the National Institute of Health has life-long results.

Furthermore, the National Institute of Health reported, “In clinical studies; cryolipolysis was shown to reduce fat at the treatment site by up to 25% after one treatment. Improvements were seen in 86% of treated subjects. At 73%, the patient satisfaction rate is higher than with other technologies used for noninvasive lipolysis. Cryolipolysis has been proven to be a very safe method for body contouring”.

Fat Freezing Procedure: “Contrast Contouring”-The Newest Breakthrough Technology (Continued)

Just in the last year, Your Best Body Today joined the fight by bringing Contrast Contouring to market which adds heat, a variable vacuum and a lower retail cost. The process starts by increasing the temperature to 107° which adds fluid in the fat cells. After 4 minutes, it freezes the area down to 12.2° crystalizing the fat membrane which damages the cell. This process repeats four times per hour. Variable vacuum was also added to this technology which raises and lowers the vacuum pressure during the session, decreasing bruising substantially.

It all boils down to the same question, does it really work? The National Institute of Health thinks so, “Several studies in humans have shown comparable results. One study published in 2009 involving ten subjects reported a 20.4% and 25.5% reduction in the fat layer 2 months and 6 months after treatment, respectively. More recently, a retrospective multicenter study using patient surveys, photographic documentation, and caliper measurements, was published by Dierickx. These investigators reported that 86% of 518 subjects showed improvement.”

In conclusion, fat freezing works, it’s safe and with the advancement of technology, Contrast Contouring is leading the fight against unwanted fat. The 40+ age group couldn’t thank you enough. I’m finally going to get my body back.
