"I am crazy about Oxycise! and have so many of my friends doing it too... People do not believe me 'til they try it. I'm so grateful for Oxycise! I have fought weight all my life, tried everything, but this is the best, easiest yet and makes you feel so energized! People think I am in my fifties. Makes you feel good! Thank you, thank you." ~ Lila Babbidge, age 74

*A* Oxycise! Helps You Be Your BEST -- at Any Age!
***************************************************************

Our youngest Oxyciser was just 3 years old when she started joining along with the Oxycise! video workouts!  See her story at http://www.oxyciseplus.com/Success/smiles09.htm#Kiana 

Several months ago we spoke with 99-year-old Elise from Iowa, who was calling to reorder the Commuter Audio workout for her daughter. Elise reported that she is still quite active and loves Oxycise! (And Elise, if you are reading, we hope you had a happy 100th birthday last month!)

Our "Success Stories" include testimonials from a growing number of seniors (See "Success at Sixty-Plus!" http://www.oxyciseplus.com/Success/sixtyplus.htm ),

... plus a number of "athletic types" http://www.oxyciseplus.com/FAQ/athletes.htm 

... and even some of the guys! http://www.oxyciseplus.com/FAQ/menonly.htm 

Oxycise! is a great exercise program for families to do together. Jan Worthen did Oxycise! with her 16-year old daughter Angie. Together they lost over 13" in less than 2 weeks! A mother and her three children lost a combined total of more than 40 inches during their first month of Oxycise! (see their story and photos at http://www.oxyciseplus.com/Success/smiles05.htm  )

Regardless of your age or your fitness level, Oxycise! can help you build a better YOU!

Happy Breathing!

*C* Announcing our NEW Oxycise! Message Room!
**************************

Due to a virus attack, the Message Room was put out of commission a few weeks ago. We apologize for the "down time" and appreciate your patience! We are now happy to announce the creation of a brand new Oxycise! Message Room, which includes both a message board and a LIVE chat room!!

There's a whole new look, but don't be intimidated! Check it out and have some fun! Here are a few tips for getting started (you may want to copy and print this information for future reference):

1. Go to our OxycisePlus! website at http://www.oxyciseplus.com 

2. Click on one of the Message Room links -- from either the Home Page or the OxyCenter.

3. The new "Welcome!" page will appear, asking you to submit your login name and password, or check in as a "Guest" or "New User".

4. Decide whether you wish to simply read messages (as a "Guest") or to participate by posting
messages (as a "New User"). Click on one of those two buttons and follow the instructions given. Let us know if you have questions or problems -- mailto:julie@oxycise.com 

5. After submitting some basic information you will immediately receive a password by email, allowing you to log in. (After your first login you can then go to the "More" option, in the WebBoard tool bar, to "Edit Your Profile" and choose your own password).

6. That's basically all there is to it! You can now access the message board or chat room any time you wish, as an "Existing User"!

7. The message board is great, but has a different format. There are some extra features, such as message previewing and spell-checking. Feel free to experiment with posting messages and replies as you check out the "new territory!"

8. The live Chat Room is lots of fun! Just click on "Chat" in the tool bar, then click on the title under "Active Chat Rooms. Once you are in the chat room, just write your message in the box provided and
hit "send." The "Help" option explains some of the extra features. You can even write in different colors, using the "Compose" option! And you can send "secret messages" to anyone in the room by clicking on the "whisper" icon (a gray thought cloud) next to the names of people who are in the room. Only you and that individual will see the message! The bell icon allows you to page others, in or out of the room. You won't see any icons next to your own name (since you can't send messages to yourself) but they will be visible to others in the chat room.

Please write if you have questions! mailto:julie@oxycise.com

*D* Progress Reports

*** JANE ***

Jane Cook is a very enthusiastic customer who has been doing Oxycise! for the past two years. She has lost 12 pounds and 15 inches, and has gone from size 12 to size 8. Having struggled with weight problems for many years in the past, she is delighted to finally be able to maintain her weight at 136 pounds. Jane reports that she has never felt better and her statistics prove it! She has has a body fat percentage of 15%, blood pressure of 100/65 and a cholesterol reading of 122. But the "rest of the story" -- and the BEST part, we think, is that Jane is a very young 67!!!

See for yourself how great she looks! Here's a link to Jane's story, photos and recent updates!

*E* OxyTIPS
*****************
This may help you to FEEL the internal motions that occur when you do the Basic
Breath correctly, and help you know whether you are inhaling and exhaling fully.

Stand tall and straight, with feet shoulder-width apart. Place your hands on
your waist, one hand on either side, just below your rib cage, with the palms
of your hands against your body, and thumbs toward your back.

Inhale deeply. Can you feel an expanding motion beneath your hands? (Good!)
This motion is caused by the movement of your diaphragm as you take air deep
into your lungs.

Try to use lots of air volume and practice until you can easily feel your hands
move outward with each inhale. You should be able to feel this expansion in the
front, sides, and perhaps even the back of your torso.

Leave your hands in place as you do the "Lift" and 3 sniffs, then the exhale
and 3 puffs. You should be able to feel lots of muscle tightening as you do
these steps, plus the "bouncing" motion of the 3 sniffs and 3 puffs. You should
also notice that this area beneath your ribs "deflates" as you exhale... your
hands should move closer together.

Make those muscles work -- especially when you exhale. But don't forget to
relax when you inhale again!

*G* How Do I Get Started With the Oxycise! Program?
*****************************************************************
There are several different ways to get started on the road to permanent weight control and better health with Oxycise!

*** It's essential to have either the Level 1 video set OR the book "Oxycise!" Both of these methods include all the "basics" you need in order to be successful.

*** It's very helpful to have BOTH the Level 1 videos and the book "Oxycise!" -- each method has its own advantages, so it's nice to be able to refer to both the book and the video.

*** The following books are great "options" to add:

1."Chart Your Success" (practical tips and extra information about target heart rate, cholesterol, body mass index, waist-to-hip ratio, body fat percentage; how to measure accurately, height and weight charts, self-tests to help you determine your own personal best, pages for recording your progress, & more.)

2. "Fuel for Success" Are you giving your body the best food "fuel" possible? (great suggestions for healthier eating--but not a required part of the program).

(ALL of the items mentioned above are included in the Oxycise! DELUXE System. They can also be ordered separately.)

*** After you have mastered the Oxycise! Basic Breath and the Level 1 workout, you may enjoy challenging yourself with new body positions to increase your strength and flexibility even more -- we have six additional workouts to choose from!

All Oxycise! products carry our 30 day money-back guarantee.
