ParagardÂ® is a copper-releasing device that is placed in your uterus to prevent pregnancy for up to 10 years. Do not use ParagardÂ® if you have a pelvic infection, get infections easily or have certain cancers. Less than 1% of users get a serious infection called pelvic inflammatory disease. If you have persistent pelvic or stomach pain, or if ParagardÂ® comes out, tell your healthcare provider. If it comes out, use back-up birth control. Occasionally, ParagardÂ® may attach to or in rare cases may go through the uterine wall and may also cause other problems. In some cases, surgical removal may be necessary.
Running stairs provides an intense calorie burn, torching up to 885 calories per hour for a 130-pound person. The exercise doesn't require any special equipment or an expensive gym membership, and it helps you tone muscles throughout your lower body.
Backward running, also called reverse or retro-running, is a fun way to burn calories and gives runners several unique training benefits not found in regular running. Stepping backwards is an activity familiar to most people. Think about the movements you make when opening a door or stepping away from the sink.
