*******************************************
*A* Why SLOW Progress is GOOD
*******************************************
In our fast-paced, push-button, jet-age society, we are accustomed to seeing things happen very quickly. Whether we are connecting to the Internet, turning on a light, or trying to make positive changes in our bodies -- we expect instant results. But our bodies don't work the same way as a computer or a light switch! Jill Johnson asks, "Have your forgotten that your body is natural? That is, it follows natural laws. You cannot bypass these natural laws." ("Oxycise!" page 31)

In other words, it takes TIME to change your body. Realizing this -- and then resolving to make gradual, day by day improvements -- is one of the keys to lasting success.

When people try to achieve "instant" weight loss by drastically restricting their calorie intake, their efforts almost always backfire later. Debra Waterhouse, nutritionist and author of "Outsmarting the Female Fat Cell," writes: "Trying to starve a fat cell only improves its ability to retain fat." She explains, "Fat cells respond to famine, or calories restriction, by holding on to the fat they already have and by becoming more aggressive at taking in new fat once the diet is over. The result is a system of fat protection that can be very difficult to crack, especially if the system becomes stronger each time we diet." 

The best way to lose fat and KEEP it off is to aim for slow losses, not fast ones. Losing weight at an average rate of 1/2 to 1 pound per week will allow your body to adjust to the changes without causing your fat cells to stage a rebellion.

"Dieting" is the wrong way to lose weight. Instead of depriving your body of calories, give it an abundance of good things: healthy foods, plenty of water and lots of oxygen -- our body's "#1 fuel"! That's where Oxycise! comes in. Oxycise! is one of your best weapons in the fight against fat. It will help tone your body, rev up your metabolic rate, build muscle, and provide extra oxygen to fuel your body's fat-burning mechanisms.

If you're seeing changes happen very slowly and feeling a little discouraged, don't give up. A "slow and steady" pace is the best speed for reaching your goals!

Happy Breathing!

*** NADEOUI ***

April 4, 2001

"I'm still breathing and have actually decided that if I am not showing outside results yet (as you know my cholesterol has dropped 23 points as of last test, and I feel certain other things are shaping up well inside), that I need to O! breathe MORE. So I have begun aerobic bedmaking and aerobic dishwashing and aerobic laundry folding, etc. It sounds silly...but if oxygen is what burns fat, (and we know that it IS), then I need to get MORE oxygen to my fat...so it will burn. Gonna do it.

"Had fun yesterday. Here in DC, the cherry blossoms were at their peak yesterday. I had a choice after lunch to eat a dessert or go for a walk. So I got in a cab and had it drive me to the far end of the trees. Then I walked back, O! breathing all the way...about 4 miles. I walked past the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Monument (tons of granite and a lot of waterfalls), past the Jefferson Memorial right on the tidal basin where the concentration of the trees are. While walking there, the wind kicked up and started blowing the blossoms off the trees and onto me.It was like walking in a snowstorm made up of white & pink blossoms...I love that! I had blossoms in my teeth from grinning so hard while I was walking!

"Then I walked past the Washington Monument which is an amazing sight all by itself and surrounded by cherry trees is astoundingly beautiful... past the White House and up Connecticut Avenue to my building. When I got back, I was not even out of breath...in fact I told my boss I didn't have to breathe all the rest of the day because I had done so well on my walk! (kidding!)"

"Hey what a surprise, I lost 2 lbs this morning when I stepped on the scale. This program sure makes me feel good. I never leave home for work without doing the 15 minute workout. I am 67 years old and feel like I am 45 years old now with a lot of energy. Can you do the workout twice a day? Best
money I ever paid for a workout program. Thanks Again."

*E* Air Your Thoughts
***************************

Subject: What has kept me going!

1) I rotate between 3 tapes so that my workout is different every time I Oxycise!
2) SLEEP! With 2 toddlers and working full time my sleep is very important to me.
I sleep better when I have Oxycized that day.

Thank you for this program. I have been thru several weight loss and exercise programs
which have not 'stuck' with me. After a year I can honestly say that Oxycise! is now part
of my life.

Regards,
Judy

*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!

* If you are just beginning to do Oxycise!, It's essential to have at least ONE of the following:

Level 1 video set
"Oxycise!" (the book)
"Easy Does It" Level 1 video set (moves at a slower pace, and has no floor positions)

Each method includes all the information you need to start breathing your way to a stronger and more shapely body.

* 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 from Jill Johnson for healthier eating--but not a required part of the program.

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 TEN different workouts to choose from! (see the website link below).  We also offer a Commuter audio routine, in CD or cassette, so you can get in extra breaths on the go!

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