New Exercise Program Considered A Breath Of Fresh Air (NAPSI)-For many who have tried diet pills, fad diets and fitness gadgets, a new method of losing pounds and inches may seem like a breath of fresh air. That's because the method of slimming down involves breathing much more efficiently than most people are in the habit of doing. "By breathing more efficiently and maximizing your oxygen intake for at least 15 minutes per day," said fitness author Jill Johnson, "you can lose weight quickly, safely and effectively by harnessing the power of oxygen." This news may make many people who want a slimmer, trimmer look, breathe a lot easier, and said Johnson, the idea is not as crazy as it may sound. "You see fat is oxidized as we breathe and leaves the body through the carbon dioxide we exhale. Basically, oxygen burns fat. The problem is, most of us only use 20 percent or less of our breathing capacity," said Johnson, who has lectured on fitness and has appeared on a variety of television shows. By taking more oxygen into our body through powerful aerobic breathing techniques, more fat is oxidized and leaves the body as we exhale. The bottom line is that oxygen is the key to effective weight loss. Johnson has spent ten years and more than 2,000 hours researching her weight loss and fitness program based on maximizing oxygen intake into the body. Called Oxycise!, the program combines zero-impact aerobic breathing with stationary flexing and contracting of all major muscle groups. Fighting a life-long battle with excess weight, Johnson's development of Oxycise! has not only changed her life, but the program's videos, audiotapes, books and seminars have so far helped more than 250,000 men and women across the U.S. and Canada. Studies at a major university found the program burned calories faster and more efficiently than traditional exercise. Testing determined that 15 minutes of Oxycise! burned 140 percent more calories than riding a stationary bicycle. "Oxycise! has proven to be a very effective way to expend calories," said Dr. Robert Girandola, professor of exercise science at the University of Southern California. "There is a fat epidemic in America today that is threatening the general health of our society. Efficient oxygen intake is the solution to the problem. Many people think Oxycise! is too good to be true because there's no physical impact and it takes only 15 minutes per day. But it's clear that if the body doesn't have enough oxygen to cleanse itself or metabolize nutrients properly, poor health and obesity can result," said Johnson. For more information on the Oxycise!
