"I have been using the Oxycise! system for a year now. As so many have, I tried diet programs, exercise and even the dangerous Phen-Fen drug combination to lose and stabilize my weight fluctuations. I am a retired Home Economist and university professor and know all the weight-loss "theories" that don't work. I have found the Oxycise! system to be soundly based on the physiology of the body and its needs to function at an optimum level for good health. As a 69-year old woman I have seen and done it all and nothing has worked for me over the long haul until Oxycise! came into my life. It has changed the way I manage my body and my health. It has proven to be a gentle, steady and unfailing method of weight-loss combined with a feeling of well-being and energy that became its own motivation to make it a lifetime solution to my age-old problem. The weekly newsletters are an extra plus that I print and keep in a loose-leaf notebook to read and enjoy many times over. Thank you, Jill, for making Oxycise! an important part of my day."

*A* Winning Combinations
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Is Oxycise! part of your daily schedule? If not, today is a great time to start!

Adding just 15 or 20 minutes of Oxycise! to your daily routine could bring you many benefits!

Better muscle tone
Inch loss
Increased energy
Improved flexibility
Greater strength and endurance
Boost your metabolic rate and burn extra calories
Lose excess fat gradually and safely
Better sleep
Improved circulation
Less stress
Improved sense of well-being

And if you were to combine your daily Oxycise! workouts with small, healthy changes in your eating habits you could expect to see improvements happen a little faster. For best results we recommend that you do Oxycise! very consistently and faithfully (at least one workout per day, 5-6 days per week) and that you combine Oxycise! with plenty of water and healthy eating habits.

To make the most of your Oxycise! workouts, really work your abdominal muscles and really flex and work your muscles as you do the body positions. If you need even more challenge and intensity you might try adding weights to your Oxycise! workouts -- just strap-on some ankle and wrist weights --- or use light hand-held weights when the body positions allow.

I have been a faithful Oxyciser for three years. My husband has been on and off even though Oxycise! has worked for him. Go figure! Well...a few months back during his annual physical, his blood sugar was well above normal. His doctor told him to come back in six months and to lose l0 pounds (or else.) Since that time, my husband has been doing Oxycise! faithfully. I Oxycise! every day and so I encourage him as much as I can to get his l5 minutes done when he comes home from work and I actually do several reps with him for my own good. Actually, I don't have to say anything to him at all....he starts his routine on his own. I am happy to report that this week he returned for his follow-up visit and he lost his l0 pounds and his blood sugar was "significantly" reduced. He goes back in 3 months for another follow-up. I AM VERY PROUD OF HIM. Oh, his doctor challenged him again to lose another l0 pounds before his next visit! I'll let you know...

"I do love Oxycise and it has been such a blessing to me. When people compliment me on how good I look, I tell them about Oxycise! and they sort of get a glaze over their eyes. I think maybe it seems too simple to them that breathing can help you lose weight and inches. One thing that I do to help me remember Oxycise! is to put it on my kitchen table. It doesn't move until I finish my reps. I also talk to myself about how much I love doing Oxycise! and I keep telling myself that and before you know it, I am finished! How good is that."

"Julie, I am very excited about the Oxycise! program. I have always fought a weight problem and have taken blood pressure medicine for years. But, when my doctor told me during my last physical that my blood sugar test was l65 (80 to l30 is normal), I knew I had to do something about it. He challenged me to lose l0 pounds. I began to Oxycise! every day and 90 days later had lost the l0 pounds. My blood sugar reading dropped to l26. I am on my second l0 pounds now and will stay with it until I am at my goal weight. The alternative would be diabetes and the problems that go with that. I can only encourage other husbands to try Oxycise! It is very easy and only takes about fifteen to twenty minutes each day. Mary and I often do our Oxycise! routine together. She looks great and that further encourages me. I want to be with her for many more years to come, so I plan on Oxycising from now on."

"Any safe movement is always fine to do. However, if you do Oxycise! with lots of gusto and enthusiasm, you will get an aerobic workout. If you like your other aerobics, then by all means continue. It certainly won't interfere with Oxycise!

"Here's a suggestion: Do the Oxycise! Basic Breath while you're doing those other activities, and you will gain even greater benefit from them. Remember: Oxygen is the key! Many athletes have used Oxycise! to enhance their athletic performance."

"But if you're dragging yourself to the gym out of guilt, then drop it and focus on Oxycise!

"I don't do any other 'official' exercise and stay in great health -- finding that when I participate in recreational sports I do well . . . even better than others who spend a lot of time at the gym. You see, Oxycise! teaches you to feed your body oxygen, rather than wait until your muscles are in oxygen debt and then you gasp for air (which most sports rely on).

"Aerobic is any activity which increases oxygen to your body -- Breathing diaphragmatically is the ultimate form of aerobics.

*A* Exciting Oxycise! Holiday Special!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We are so impressed with the kindness which so many of you display as you share Oxycise! with your family and friends. Hardly a day goes by at our office that we don't receive a call from someone saying that they would like to order more videos or books, because they gave theirs away to someone they care about.

As our gift to you during this wonderful holiday season, we want to help you with your giving.

That's right, just purchase any single video or video set, and we'll include another video absolutely FREE!

What a perfect time to give the entire set of Oxycise! videos (while collecting your own set) -- order as many as you'd like! WOW!

This offer is good for all regular Oxycise! videos and our "Easy Does It" videos.

"Hi Julie,
I really just wanted to pass on my experience with Oxycise! in hopes that it would encourage others to not give up! As you may remember, I severely sprained my ankle back in August and was unable to do my Oxycise routine (I was on Level 3). I was able, however, to do the breathing part while sitting on my couch and keeping track of my reps. I also added in some pec presses, pulls and arm reaches. I was able to put all my energy into the breathing technique and really get it perfected. Eventually, I was able to do the standing and some floor positions. I am slowly working my way back to the full routine.

"I found out for myself how important healthier eating is if you want to see great results. For a long time, I stubbornly refused to give up my favorite snacks which included ice cream and potato chips. However, I was still getting some other great results from Oxycise! My energy improved and I was sleeping better, but I did not notice any weight or inch loss. I finally wised up and cut out the daily ice cream and chip fix and have felt my clothes getting much roomier. I recently had a medical checkup and my weight was up. I was excited about it, can you believe it! I knew that the weight gain was due to increased muscle, which means all that fat doesn't stand a chance! I don't want people to be discouraged by weight gain when they are Oxycising regularly. It just means that they are building lots of fat-burning muscle.

"Also, I want to encourage people who may be unable to do a full Oxycise! routine because of a physical issue, such as my sprained ankle. You don't have to do the complete routine to get the benefits. Do whatever positions you can. If you can only do the breathing (along with the tummy lift/bun tightening), you're doing a great thing for your body. In fact, I recommend practicing just doing that part of Oxycise! every day for a week or so in order to really make sure you've got it down pat. Follow along with Jill in the videos as she explains the breathing technique. Then, if you want, breathe along with the workout and do whatever positions you can. I used the list of positions that comes with each video to keep track of my reps (they're great when you are traveling, too).

"I love Oxycise! and I want everyone who tries it to love it, too. Thank you, Julie and Jill for the constant encouragement through the newsletters. I can't imagine going back to being like I was before Oxycise!"

Tina adds:
"Please feel free to use the email concerning my ankle on the website or the newsletter. I hope it can help other people not to be discouraged when they may off their feet for a while. By the way, just in the first few days of the "breathing only", I felt a difference in the way my clothes fit. I think it is so important for people when they first start Oxycise! to really get the breathing right before they add the positions. It will make a huge difference."

"I wanted to mention something that helps me when I Oxycise! I like to exercise first thing in the morning, before I eat, so I can concentrate on my body instead of my digestion, but water alone doesn't provide a lot of staying power. When I juice a melon or cantaloupe or some other fruit and drink that before working out, I have lots of energy without that feeling of fulness. Between that and Oxycising I have energy bouncing off the walls for the rest of the morning!"

"It is hard to believe that 15 minutes a day of deep breathing and simple isotonic, isometric and stretching exercises will help you lose weight (if needed) and stay in shape. But I am living proof that it does. (Because my mother and sister gained weight around their stomach as they aged, I accepted this eventuality as part of my genetic makeup and destiny. The longer I do Oxycise!, the more fat and inches I lose around the middle.) I just wish that I had discovered this routine years ago. I know that there are many folks that this would help. (Busy people who do not have a great deal of time to devote to exercise, or do not want to go to a gym, and who have tried and failed at "dieting.") But most important, this simple routine is of great value even if you do not need to lose weight!

"Oxycise! is all common sense. It is enjoyable and easy enough to do for the rest of your life. We all make choices in life, this is one choice that will help anyone improve their health and increase their strength and flexibility. Here is my strong recommendation: Do something good for yourself everyday--do 15 minutes of Oxycise!"

I want to share a couple of my favorite testimonials from our email files. I love to hear to hear about Oxycise! customers who succeed in spite of setbacks -- especially when others said it "couldn't be done."

"Dear Jill,
This is my testimony. I have struggled with weight on and off for as long as I can remember. I've tried it all, as have so many...I was so tired and feeling sicker physically by the day...I went to the doctor, sure that the high blood pressure medication was making me sicker than I needed to be. So, he told me to take an aspirin a day to prevent a heart attack or stroke...he also told me to double up on my blood pressure medication and come back when I was finished and he'd put me on estrogen as well...at this point I weighed 250 lbs and was a tight size 46...but he also told me when I questioned him about the pills that I might as well forget about losing weight because this is what happens to women over 50..."

"Since I got my tapes I have gone from the tight 46 down to a 42-- in some cases 40-- as far as sizes go. I have lost fat from all over. When I started my waist had gone somewhere...now I actually have one back. My face, which had disappeared into a mass of chins more like one fat blob, has actually taken on bone structure once again. I've lost about 3 inches off my bust, at least 4 off of my hips...thighs and buns and arms about 3 inches...I even lost a ring size...and I've not changed anything I eat...

"My husband who took early retirement this past January is 55 and started doing it too. He has lost his middle pouch, and also lost off his face and neck. Now, we do it together in the morning and I do it again at night.

"At first I ordered the tapes because I didn't care how or why it worked, I just wanted to get doing it. But now people are coming up to me and asking, 'What have you been doing?' and when I tell them "Breathing', they look at me like I'm nuts. So I ordered the book and commuter tape this time.

"Today, I am 52 years young and not afraid that each day may very well be my last. This is one Gramma who is energized and enjoying every minute of losing unwanted lbs and inches.

A few years a new visitor to our website posted a question on our message board, asking other customers if they thought she should try Oxycise! Here's the response she received from Sue Madal...

"Oxycise!, in my opinion, is the best workout I've ever done and I was a certified exercise instructor for 12 years. You get the great health benefits without all the stress on the joints - perfect for those who suffer with joint problems. I have been Oxycising for a year now and would not give it up for the world. I haven't been sick during that time which is a great help to my immune system. If I get any type of infection it can trigger a flare up so it's very important that I stay as healthy as possible.... I haven't had a flare up in over a year (coincidence I think not) and even if I did, I could still Oxycise!

"I weigh about 133 and am 5'5". That is a good weight for me and I wouldn't want to go below 128. I have pretty much stayed the same weight since I lost my initial 12-15 pounds. However, if I don't do Oxycise! for a few days I start to feel blah and flabby.

"Oxycise! even healed my recti split that I developed while pregnant with my first child. All the careful ab work during my 12 years teaching aerobics never healed the split. Oxycise! did though. My abs are really, really hard and I don't do any traditional abdominal work.

"As a fitness professional the dynamics of Oxycise! make perfect sense to me and if someone likes to still do traditional workouts, Oxycise! can enhance their endurance and strength.... Even if you're just sitting in a chair you can still do the breathing. I do the audio tape in my car every day while driving to work. It gives me energy for my day.

"Let's see what else can I tell you. I sing much better after Oxycising because it gets my lungs working properly and really warms up my vocal cords. I have osteoarthritis in my left knee and have minor bone deformity. If there is a particular leg position that is uncomfortable for my left leg, I just modify it. I have only had problems with Jill's "hurdler" stretch because I have to bend my knee back and it's uncomfortable. So, I don't do that one.

"I highly recommend you try this program. It's inexpensive and they return it if you don't like it. Oh, I went from a size 11 to a size 6 in about 2-3 months. I can't remember exactly, except I know when I tried on my old shorts last summer they were all too big so I had to go buy some size 6's. Not bad considering I never wore under a size 8 when I was teaching up to 9 classes/week. If you try it, make sure you understand the breathing completely because that is the key. Watch Jill carefully and be dedicated to this program. If you do it, it will work. If you don't, it won't. Please keep in touch and let me know how you are doing."

*C* The Gift of Oxycise!

"I cannot say enough about Oxycise! and the difference it has made for me and others. People ask me about Oxycise! a lot-- and I am always more than happy to share! I have also been known to give Oxycise! as Christmas gifts... A gift of health is better than any other gift to give someone you really care about." ~ Kim B.

"I started Oxycise!--it was a gift from my daughter... I have seen many benefits... I know the deep breathing has helped my lungs." ~ Lorraine S., age 81

"I have lost 18 lbs. since December... I had ordered myself Level 4 and the 'Chart Your Success' book... I figured what better gift could I give myself. " ~ Cynthia Taylor

"Not only have I lost weight and inches thanks to Oxycise! but I have given my children the best gift I could....ME!!!" ~ Hilda P.

"I have given this program to my friends as gifts: I feel it is so vital, and has changed my life so drastically. I love life again, and I can't remember being so in love with life as I am now. Who would think that deep breathing for 15 minutes a day could have such a profound effect on a person?" ~ Lesleigh H.

"I truly believe telling others about Oxycise is one of the best gifts I could give anyone." ~ Mary R. Miller

"Hi Julie----Have been doing 'Easy Does It' Level One since March of 2003. Have lost 26 lbs and a total of 18 inches overall. I do Oxycise! twice a day and walk 1 mile at the mall 3 times a week. I am 79 years old and feel great. I would recommend Oxycise! to any senior person . I have Level Two and will be starting it in Jan. Please note I haven't changed my eating habits."

"Dear Jill,
I was down for the count. I broke my ankle in three places and had a steel plate put in. After 1 year, I still couldn't walk like I used to. I gained 30 plus pounds. In the meantime, I had a problem with my neck which also prohibited me from lifting weights. What a great way to face turning 50. But it gets better...I then started to get hot flashes and night sweats.

"I had the Oxycise! tapes from before, but the positions were not good for my leg. I called to see if you had created any others. They told me about the 'Easy Does It' Series. I started using the first level. The second day, I noticed I slept through the night. It was a deep wonderful sleep. In 3 days, my skin, which has always been good, turned flawless. In 5 days, my hot flashes were reduced almost 95%. I started to weigh myself, but saw no change, so I stopped getting on the scale. My ankle, which would be painful at the end of the day, stopped aching. I thought it might not be connected to the Oxycise! exercises, and when I stopped for two days, the pain came back. The pain stopped the next time I did the exercises.

"I have been discouraged, but your newsletters are wonderful. They kept me going. I haven't measured myself, but because of the encouragement from the newsletter, will start. In the meantime, after 14 sessions, two pairs of pants I used to wear are so big I can't wear them anymore. Another pair are loose. I really want to fit into my former clothes. I just hope I keep on shrinking. I do want to hear from people on how they are doing. It is very encouraging. I didn't connect my ankle with the Oxy exercises, until I read about a women with knee problems."

Thanks for this wonderful product.
Karen

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

EDITOR'S NOTE: Like Karen, not everyone sees immediate changes on the scale. Some individuals gain some extra muscle weight and lose fat at the same time. But a gain of muscle is good news (you will burn more calories) and inch loss and/or looser clothing is always a good sign that you are burning excess fat. So if you have a pair of pants in your closet that don't quite fit, keep on breathing -- and keep checking to see how things are fitting!

"Well, Oxycise! has done it again for me!!! Today, I went to the store to buy myself some new jeans since all my other jeans are too big now, and lo and behold, I've dropped another size. I actually got to buy a Size 8 pair of jeans--I haven't worn a size 8 since before I was married! That's two sizes I've lost in just 2-1/2 months! I swear I was almost touching the ceiling when I left the store! THANK YOU, JILL!!!!!!!" ~ Susan R. :o)

This is when millions of people resolve to become more physically fit, give up bad habits and change their lives for the better. Most of us know what we would like to improve in our lives. And we probably know what we need to do to make it happen. But it takes real effort to make any kind of change -- even if it's a change for the better. It's human nature to "hang on" to old habits, and even if we do decide to make a "once and for all change," we tend to want results NOW -- or at least by next week!

Don't get discouraged when results don't happen immediately. Think big, but work small -- by taking one day at a time. Small daily changes will lead to big results as those days stretch into weeks and months. Just look how fast the year 2003 flew by... and think where you could be a year from now if you make a few little positive changes every day.

Start mentally writing your own Oxycise! "Success Story"! But also pace yourself, evaluate your progress, and stay determined. Don't give up halfway up the "mountain" just because you suddenly realize that you still have a long way to go. Instead, look back and see how far you've come!! And if you happen to "lose your footing" and slide backwards a little, don't despair. Just get up and keep going. Climbing a mountain -- or reaching a goal -- is hard work! But the "view" from the summit -- and the sense of accomplishment -- is unbeatable!

Shannon Entin, Editor of the FitnessLink newsletter, gives excellent advice for "enjoying the journey" on the way toward a fitness goal: "Focus on the positive and hold on to the feelings of exhilaration, relaxation, and empowerment that you feel when you do exercise. Plan to make modest improvements that can stick.... Balance and planning are the keys to success."

It is our hope that before you set out to pursue your goals and "take on the world", that you will first sit back and plan out your journey. If your goal is to become more fit, lose excess fat, or maintain your current fitness level, then Oxycise! can help you achieve your goal. Your task will be to plan HOW you will implement the Oxycise! program into your own life, and then to put your plan into action on a daily basis. Day by day, step by step, you will move closer and closer to your destination! May all your dreams come true...one day at a time!

"My mom gave me the instructional and level one workout videos for my 40th birthday a couple of months ago. It has been WONDERFUL...I have decreased from a tight size 16 pants to a comfortably fitting size 14. The last time I was in a size 14 pants was when I weighed a good 15 pounds less than I do now. That is how I know it is the Oxycise! and not just the diet I am on. I had lost about 10 pounds before I started the Oxycise! tape, and have lost another 10 pounds with both the diet and Oxycise! ...but I am much more trim than when I was at this weight with just dieting. My family laughs at me, but you can't argue with success, now, can you?

(This testimonial was written by Kelly on March 10, 2002, after doing
Oxycise! for a year.)

"I just marked my one year anniversary of doing Oxycise! on a regular basis. What a difference it has made in the way I feel! I first started Oxycise! in the fall of 2000, but didn't do it on a steady basis. Seeing pictures of myself taken at my daughter's wedding in December of that year made me realize I HAD to do something about my weight! After much procrastination, I began Oxycising at least one a day, six days a week on March 1st of last year. The goal I set for myself was to be able to fit into the only formal dress I own by March of this year (for an event I would attend that I knew would require one).

"By the end of March, I had read Jill's "Fuel for Success" book and decided I needed to improve my eating habits. I love the fact that I don't have to "diet" in order for Oxycise! to work. Yes, I eat differently than I use to, but it's by choice and I never feel deprived. I also discovered the Oxycise! Message Board around that time. I can't stress enough how helpful the message board has been in keeping me accountable. It's more fun when you can share your "ups and downs" with others who understand. Oxycise! has been a great success for me. I've lost 44 pounds, 4-1/2" in my ribcage, 7-1/2" in my waist, 7" in my hips, and 4-1/2" in my thighs! Those are just the measurable results! I have more energy, my nails are stronger, I haven't had a cold since I began, my muscles are stronger and more toned....this list goes on....

"I honestly feel like Oxycise! has been an answer to my prayers. Oh....and the dress? I wore it this past weekend and it fit beautifully!"

Some of you may be thinking, "I have so much weight to lose... how can I
possibly succeed? How can I go from where I am now to where I would like
to be?"

Impossible, you say? Not at all! Just look at the problem in a new way.
Don't think of having to lose twenty or fifty or a hundred pounds all at
once. Just take one pound at a time, one day at a time. (One Oxycise!
workout at a time, one breath at a time!) The key to success is consistent
effort, day by day.

I challenge you to invest just 15 minutes a day in the Oxycise! program,
starting today.

"Set your goals -- without goals you can't measure your progress. But don't
become frustrated if the victories don't come quickly or easily. Remind
yourself that striving can be more important than arriving. If you are
striving for excellence -- if you are trying your best day by day with the
wisest use of your time and energy to reach realistic goals -- you are a
success, and you can feel proud of your accomplishments." ~ Marvin J.
