Dr. Sheldon Levine's Seven Minute Miracle
By Carma Haley Shoemaker
However, Dr. Levine states that no one has to live with these problem areas any longer, or suffer through hours and hours of exercises that do nothing for the areas we want to shrink. With the concept behind the Seven Minute Miracle, it is possible to target only the areas that we need, want or that should be targeted.
"The program is simple," Dr. Levine says. "Seven minutes of intense exercise on the area you want to work; allowing the body to use the adrenaline you've just produced by exercising on that area; and then eating a meal that will keep your body working and burning fat the rest of the day."
When we exercise, our body produces various chemicals that increase our heart rate, our metabolism, burn fat and give us energy. This is the same concept behind a "runners high" – where an athlete works out so much and for so long that he/she has a rush of energy as a result. According to Dr. Levine, this is how and why the Seven Minute Miracle works.
