If you have time to breathe, you have time for Oxycise!

**********************************
*A* Take Time to BREATHE
**********************************
We recently received a letter from a gentleman who reports he has lost 30 pounds and
trimmed 4 inches from his waist by eating healthy and doing Oxycise! for the past 7
months. We've had many customers report similar results in less time. What's surprising
in this case is that he apparently accomplished this by doing mini-workouts consisting of
just 4 different body positions, three times per day--morning, mid-afternoon, and evening.
If I understand him correctly, he has been doing a total of only 12 reps per day. This is
less than half the amount of Oxycise! we recommend that customers do each day (30
reps), yet this individual still achieved great results! His results may be unique, but I
really believe that even small consistent efforts can add up to big results over a period
of time!

Many of us are so busy we may feel like we don't have time to stop and do a complete
15-minute workout... so we don't do any Oxycise! at all! But what if a few deep powerful
breath "here and there" during the day could really make a difference?

For instance, if you did just one rep (4 in-and-out breaths) every half hour, starting at 9
AM, and ending at 5 PM, you could do 17 reps of Oxycise! That's over half a workout!
And if you did 1rep every 15 minutes you'd have an entire Oxycise! workout done by
4:15!

Oxycise! doesn't require any warm-up to be effective. And while the body positions are
great for toning and strengthening your muscles, the Basic Breath alone will deliver lots
of extra oxygen and give your abs a workout. So If you don't feel like doing a 15-minute
workout, or your day is extremely busy, you can still squeeze some deep breathing into
your schedule. You've got to breathe anyway, so why not make some of those breaths
really count!

*B* Take Things EASY With Our "Easy Does It" Workouts!
*************************************************************************
As advertised in PARADE Magazine, our newest video workouts are perfect
for those who are recuperating from illness, injury or surgery. They're also
great for seniors, new Oxycise! customers -- and everyone else!

In the "Easy Does It" Level One introduction Jill gives a thorough step-by-step
explanation of the Oxycise! Basic Breath. So "Easy Does It" Level One is
great for those who are brand new to Oxycise! -- No other videos, books, or
experience required!

All three workouts move at a little slower pace than our regular workouts. And
they have built-in "intermissions" so you can stop the workout and continue
later. There are also no floor positions, so this may be an advantage to those
who have injuries, or who simply prefer not to get down on the floor.

If you've never done Oxycise! before, be sure to start with Level One, to take
advantage of Jill's great instructions on doing the Oxycise! breathing. And even
if you've been doing Oxycise! for a while, but aren't quite sure you're breathing
correctly, Jill's step-by-step teaching will insure that you are breathing with
power.

*** RHONDA ***

"I admit that I have not been very consistent with my Oxycise! routines but the
small interludes that I have with my breathing have shown to be quite successful
nonetheless. When I went to my doctor and he did blood pressure and heart
rate he was very impressed. For someone who does not do running or much
more than some walking once in a while, my resting heart rate was about 68
and blood pressure was perfect. I am 52 and about 20 lbs overweight but he
did say, "Whatever you are doing, keep it up." I have to totally attribute this
to Oxycise! because I don't really do anything else. I get in around 20 or so
breaths per day. It amazed me that a small amount of effort could make such
a big difference. So for those of you who feel you only have 10 minutes to
spare, or even 5.........go for it.

"I have much gratitude for Jill Johnson to care enough to get this awareness
out there to us all. It is soooo simple. I love it. Thanks again to you all."

*** NADEOUI ***

"Had a wonderful trip to Texas and Arizona this past month, and Oxycised
every day while I was gone. With that and watching my carbs, I came back
5 lbs lighter than when I left. Still breathing...still hanging in there!"

Nadeoui shares how she used Oxycise! during her vacation:

(1) I exercised with a combination of the tapes...my daughter-in-law has all your
tapes and her children do them as their summer physical fitness exercises in
Arlington, Texas.

(2) Did exercises that I memorized from Jill's book while at other family member's
homes in other parts of Texas and Arizona.

(3) Did O! breathing while taking walks before the heat of the day set in...those
places get hot! It went well.

*D* Health Tips -- Fill Up With Fiber
*******************************************
"Not only is fiber good for you, but it fills you up more quickly and with fewer
calories, which prevents you from eating more. A study at the Brooke Army
Medical Center at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, found that pectin, a soluble
fiber found in the skins of fruits and vegetables, made people feel fuller longer.
To get more fiber, base your meals on fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole
grains, such as whole-wheat bread, brown rice, and whole-grain breakfast
cereals, says Melanie Polk, R.D., director of nutrition education at the
American Institute for Cancer Research in Washington, D.C."
