"It wasn't a pretty sight at the beginning. It was hard to put so many steps together, but I figured perfection would come with practice and I was right. I guess I had been Oxycising! for about six weeks when I suddenly thought, this feels easier and more natural. That's when I knew I had the hang of it!" ~ Susan R.

*A* Learning Curves
**************************

Do you remember what it was like learning how to tie your shoes? (It felt so awkward at first, and the laces kept getting tangled up, or turned into huge knots!)  But you kept working at it, in spite of the frustrations. And finally, you got it!!!

....And later, do you remember the ups and downs of learning to ride a bike? (Remember all the scraped knees?) But do you also remember the feeling of exhilaration when you finally did it all by yourself?

Learning new skills -- at any age -- takes time, practice, and a certain amount of frustration; whether it's whistling, playing the piano, doing math problems, dealing with life's problems, or learning the Oxycise! Basic Breath! And the same principles apply to all kinds of learning: "practice makes perfect" and "try, try again"...

So keep on breathin'....you'll get it!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Happy Breathing!

*** MARY ***

"Hi! I was doing Oxycise! for a while faithfully, 4 to 5 times a week, and felt great. Then the holidays came around and I got ill with the flu and slacked off and did not do it at all. But I found myself doing the breathing while I was in the car and at night lying in bed. I'm back doing Oxycise! again! 2002 is going to be the year!! It makes me feel great and I don't know why I slack off. But no matter what, it seems that I need to BREATHE even though I don't do the workout. So that goes to show me that my body craves it! That's proof enough for me to make 2002 a productive year in Oxycise!"

Thank you Jill!

*** LORRAINE ***

"Now I know I am benefiting from Oxycise! Last year I visited my son and his family in Salt Lake City. We had to walk in the cold about two blocks, and when we reached our destination, I had to sit down, I was wheezing so badly. In fact my daughter-in-law said she had noticed that I was wheezing even when resting at the house. I started Oxycise! -- that was a gift from my daughter -- April 1, 2001. I have seen many benefits, but now I know it has helped me. I went to Salt Lake City this Christmas, and we did a lot of walking outside in the cold air. Not a wheeze could be heard. I know the deep breathing has helped my lungs."

*D* AIR Your Thoughts!
****************************

The following comments were in response to last week's article, "Fear of Losing"
[see http://www.oxyciseplus.com/Newsletters/02_01b.htm ]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I just wanted to thank you for your recent newsletter addressing the emotional issues of losing weight, and losing control. You hit it right on the head! I related to Merritt and Jill's comments completely. People do start treating you differently. Some were so happy for me, others were
envious, others were mixed and tried to sabotage me on a subconcious level as well. But bottom line, I do love living in a light, slender body ten times better than living in an overweight, sluggish body!"

Keep up the Inspiration,
Lorna Goodman

"I got my Oxycise! tapes a few years ago, and while I definitely noticed that I started to feel more energized when I did the workout, I never committed myself to it and they are now gathering dust in the videotape cabinet. I have continued to receive the Oxycise newsletter and many times would delete it from my email -- but I never unsubscribed. This morning I decided to read through it, specifically the letters about fear of success -- I started to see myself in there. I would add, too, that I (and I'll bet a lot of us) tend to be a perfectionist. One wouldn't think it to look at me or at my house, but it's true -- if I can't do it perfectly, why bother to try it at all? And my goodness, if I were to actually achieve the weight loss I desire (and we're talking about 80 pounds here), what excuse could I possibly have for not doing everything perfectly???

"Today I'm making a new commitment: to give Oxycise! a chance. I didn't do that before ... considering the small amount of daily time required, it seems a fairly simple goal. I'll let you know how it goes ... "

Henry Ford (1863-1947)

*****************************************************************
*F* 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.
