*C* Progress Reports

*** MARILYN ***

"Oxycise! is the greatest! In February 2001 I had hips of 52", waist was a 39" and my bust was 42". Well now since Oxycise! my waist is now a 32", and my hips are now a 44", bust is now a 38", wow! I have an excellent day when I do Oxycise!, less stress and most of all I can fit into clothes that I thought I wouldn't be able to fit. The scales say that I lost 15 pounds.

"Well I will be in touch in about three weeks with new measurements. I'm taking a trip to Nashville and I can't wait to show my friends how they can benefit from this."

Bye now,
Marilyn Blackwell

Marilyn adds, "Oxycise! really helps my sinuses -- less infections and more deep breathing."

* Individual results will vary.

*** JANE ***

A few weeks ago Jane wrote:

"On 10/11 I fell & shattered my wrist, fractured upper arm & busted the bursa in my hip!!!!!

"Good news is that according to the physical therapist, if I was not in such good shape & so FLEXIBLE I would not have progressed so well with my therapy.

"I KNOW it is all due to Oxycise! & the stretching in the positions that has made me that way--been doing on average 300 breaths a day with my therapy exercises that has really helped me move forward.

"All the people at the hospital were so impressed...and can't believe my age vs. agility. I also improvised some of the positions so I can sit in a chair (can't get on the floor with only one strong hand) and was thinking how great this is for those that are physically challenged.

"Thank you, thank you Jill, for this FABULOUS program!!!!!!"

Have a GREAT holiday!
Jane Cook,
Age 67

Jane added the following update:
"Went to bone doctor today and he says I'm doing great!!!!!!!!!! He cut my physical therapy from 3X a week to once a week for 1 month. I think that's super for an ole lady that was all broken up!"

* Individual results will vary.

*D* Short Exercise Sessions As Effective As One Long Session
****************************************************************************

A new study shows that short bouts of activity are just as effective as one continuous session in terms of burning calories, losing weight, and improving aerobic fitness. Researchers from three universities divided a group of 30 overweight female college students into four groups:

(1) Those who exercised for 30 continuous minutes five days per week
(2) Those who exercised for two 15-minute sessions per day, five days per week
(3) Those who exercised for three 10-minutes sessions per day, five days per week
(4) Those who did no exercise

After 12 weeks, women in the three exercise groups experienced an increase in aerobic capacity and a significant decrease in Body Mass Index (BMI) and body fat. Women in the non-exercise control group saw an increase in their body weight and BMI.

The researchers say their results show that exercise accumulated in several short bouts has similar beneficial effects as one continuous bout regarding aerobic fitness and weight loss.

*E* OxyTIPS
*****************

The new Oxycise! "Easy Does It" workouts are ideal for those who are recuperating from surgery or injuries (no floor positions!) or who just want to move at a more relaxed pace. For more information click on http://www.oxyciseplus.com/EasyDoesIt.htm 

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Try to do extra "reps" during the day in addition to your regular workout. Make every breath count!

Lois Baldi shared the following: "I wrote 'BREATHE' on a post-it and have it on my computer as a reminder during the day."

Deb Glasener writes:
"Sometimes when I go to bed I still feel the tension of the day in my shoulders and neck and find it hard to go to sleep. I have found if I do 5-10 "Oxy" breaths, I relax and can feel the tension slip out of my neck and shoulders I drift right off to sleep and actually sleep better. Much better than pills."

(Thanks for sharing, ladies!)

We'd love to share YOUR ideas, too! mailto:julie@oxycise.com

"Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections, but instantly set about remedying them - every day begin the task anew." ~ Saint Francis de Sales

*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!" OR the "Easy Does It" Level 1 video set. Each of these methods includes all the "basics" you need in order to be successful with the Oxycise! program.

* It may be very helpful to have one of the Level 1 video sets AND the book "Oxycise!" because each method has its own advantages. (It's nice to be able to refer to the book for written explanations, and the video for visual instructions.)

* 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.

NOTE: The Oxycise! DELUXE System includes the Level 1 video set (2 tapes), the book "Oxycise!", and the books "Chart Your Success" and "Fuel for Success". These items can also be ordered individually.

* 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 eight additional workouts to choose from! (see the website link below).

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