Betty's "Miracle"

"We live on a mountain top on 20 acres in Montana. I was loading the motor home for a trip the first week of July and carrying a dog food bowl with a water bowl balanced on top. I was not looking where I was stepping and slipped off the stepping stone at the front of the motor home. I sprawled into the dirt and slid. I hit so hard I almost lost my breath. My face was in the dirt and my glasses had the lenses so deeply scratched that I could barely see through the left one. The frames were also bent. I had dirt all over my face and in my mouth. This is to give an idea of how devastating the fall was. We were leaving to spend a week with friends in Idaho and I was determined not to let anything spoil the holiday. I called to my husband who was in the house and he came out to help me get up as I had no strength in my leg muscles from the shock of the fall. The first miracle is that no bones were broken.

"I cleaned the dirt off me and decided that the worst of the experience would be the next day when all my muscles would ache. The next morning I awakened early in my bed in the motor home and I could tell I didn't want to move very much. I had received the Oxycise! videos and the 15 minute audio tape earlier in June but had not used them. I know that sore muscles are an indication of an accumulation of lactic acid that slowly is removed -- usually it takes days. I realized that the Oxycise! technique should correct that situation. I lay in bed and did the Oxycise! exercises I had learned from the audio tape. I was going to do them for 15 minutes but extended them to 45 minutes (while my husband slept). I also did extra ones on my legs and arms where the most muscle pain was. When I got out of bed -- there was NO muscle soreness left. I continued to us Oxycise! every morning and enjoyed a pain-free week. This week I am finally seeing some bruising that is turning yellow-green but had not been apparent before.  I think the Oxycise! also mitigated the surface bruising.

"I want to point out that this was the first time I had used the Oxycise! technique and so had no "build-up" that might have made it work better -- and even then it performed a miracle. I also want to say that I am almost 69 years old. I have had friends put in the hospital with falls no worse than mine. Certainly the average person my age would spend a week lying around in bed recovering from the pains. This should be mentioned to your clients as another use of the technique. People get sore muscles from all kinds of week-end exercise. This would be a miracle for them. However, you can't put a time limit on the breathing as you have to do it until you get rid of the lactic acid in the muscles. That would be an individual thing.

"Can't thank you enough, I am starting on the video exercises today and everyday!"

"I didn't notice results immediately..." 

"Hi Jill,
Now that I've been doing Oxycise! on a regular basis for three months, I wanted to share with you some of the changes that my body has gone through.

"I didn't notice results immediately, in fact, for the first four weeks, nothing! But then dramatically, people noticed (almost overnight) that my face looked different, and my clothes were much looser. I have dropped almost ten pounds since doing your program, plus going on a diet of almost all whole foods. I wouldn't miss a day without the video, and on my way to work I use your commuter tape. I run better, can actually have entire days where I breathe fully (I used to have panic attacks - I felt like I couldn't get enough air in my lungs).

"I know that you get tons of e-mail, and at the risk of being repetitive, I just need you to know that this is truly a remarkable product. It has broken a three month plateau and it has changed the way my body and face look! Even my kids are noticing. Thanks so much for giving us such a wonderful opportunity for optimum health and well- being, and for your continued support. So may I say, of rather full breath, a true fan and total believer, THANK YOU!"

Joan Schofield: from size 16 to size 10!

"Jill,
I first learned about Oxycise! on QVC back in February. It really impressed me as I had been reading about deep breathing and you seem so down to earth. You have also answered my e-mails before when I had a lot of cellulite on the back of my legs and this was after I had been Oxycising for awhile.

"I can really see my body changing and it is even better when people you know notice and do a double take and say things like, 'Wow, you have lost weight, I mean you REALLY have lost weight.' I have not worn shorts in years and I went out yesterday and bought a couple pairs of shorts. I have gone from pushing out of a 16 to a size 10 at this time and I am really happy about this. I just keep taking my uniforms in.

"Your web page is fantastic as it just keeps a good line of communication and you are there to answer everyone's questions and your staff is very helpful.

"Looking forward to your Level 3."

"I have seen a big difference in the cellulite on my thighs. It's absolutely unbelievable."

"Hi Jill,
I've been using the Oxycise! program for a total of 6 weeks and I have seen a big difference in the cellulite on my thighs. It's absolutely unbelievable. Who would have ever thought that just by breathing I could get rid of the cellulite on my thighs that jogging 3 miles couldn't do. This doesn't even include the tremendous amount of energy,overall feeling of well being and great looking skin that I now have as well!!

"I'm very excited because I'll be attending my 10 year class reunion in October and I'm well ahead of schedule.

"Well as I used to say in junior high school , Oxycise is tubular!!!!!!"

Thanks
Carla

"I love your program so much that I can't live a day without it . . ."

"Hi Jill!
Thank you so much for sharing your story, and your research with all of us who are in the same boat you were. I am 24, 5'8", and started out at my heaviest weight ever when your videos arrived - 213 lbs. That was a month ago, and am utterly thrilled! I have lost over 20 inches and 9 pounds, and I feel incredible! I am now 204 lbs! I am medium build and muscular, so my goal is around 150 - 160 lbs. I almost don't care what the scale says anymore - I look and feel so much better... as long as I'm lean and strong I don't care if the scale says 180 and I'm a size 12 forever (I used to aim for 130, and a size 8, yo-yo dieting since I can remember... very similar to your story, so it was easy to relate). I love your program so much that I can't live a day without it anymore. I work late hours and didn't get the chance to do my Oxycise! before work the other day, but I couldn't go to bed without doing it, so I did - at 2 am! I slept better and woke up refreshed, so now I do it twice a day.

"I have also added my own positions for stretching and light weight training, as well as my favorite yoga positions to mix it up a bit, a little different each day, but I always do the ones on your intermediate workout. I am more flexible and can see amazing results as far as all over toning goes - 5 inches off my waist alone!

"Another great thing about doing Oxycise! is that my back no longer aches at work from sitting and having to stretch and reach for things constantly (I just slipped a disc this past November, and never thought I could recover so quickly!). I have so much more energy, and can stay focused for so much longer now. I just feel fantastic, and I owe it all to you!

"I've given your video to my best friend who is getting married next May. She has put on a lot of weight in the last 3 years, as I have, and was worried that she'd never be able to find something to help her lose it before that fateful day. She is fed up with dieting, and doesn't have a lot of time to exercise, so I know that Oxycise! is perfect for her - I hope she loves it as much as I do, and sticks with it. If she does it and loses the weight she wants to lose, I think I couldn't have given her a better wedding present.

"Anyway Jill, I will write periodically to let you know how I am doing. I love your newsletter by the way. I actually subscribed to it before I ordered the tapes. It was the testimonials of all those people that convinced me that this had to be something I could do, and succeed at. My life has become so much more fun now that I don't have to worry about my weight anymore."

Thank you again,

"My kids and I Oxycised together all the way to day care this morning!!!"

"I was able to try Level 2 last night and I just love it. I had to run out to the store last night to get some milk, so I took the commuter tape with me and very much enjoyed doing that as well. My kids and I Oxycised together all the way to day care this morning!!! I have decided that when I go for my walks during the day, I will bring along my Walkman and my Oxycise! Commuter tape and get in a few reps!!

"Once again, thanks......everyone I've spoken with at Oxycise! has been so nice and very helpful and you have the quickest mail service I've ever seen!!!"

Truly,
Andrea Tomasi

I Was Skeptical

"Just a note of thanks to Jill.  I was skeptical;  you know 'if it sounds too good, etc..'  Well I've been doing the Level I for a little more than a week and am very pleased.  I have had three lower disc surgeries and the last in '88 left me with a left leg limp and right leg pain, not to mention the back.

"I can already feel the results. They are great. I am going to adapt some of the Level II exercises to some of the back exercises I have used over the years.  One that I have added to Level I is the 'Cat back Stretch' which is done on all fours. I tense all the muscles and do the Basic Breath while doing the pelvic tilt for two reps and two reps with the back arched. Seems to work. I have moved my belt two notches in since last Monday."

Thank you!
Rocco

"I LOVE your Level II tape -- it reminds me of a lovely stretchy ballet class."

"Hi,
I got a real kick out of seeing my letter from a month ago to you in print and so I thought that I would give you a update (and feel free to print!) Have been Oxycizing since April 15 when my tapes arrived and I still love it! I combine it with a body flex workout, one in the AM and one in the PM.

"I am slowly losing but I FEEL GREAT !

"I loved your recent suggestions to lower my set point.

"Whenever I get a headache I do a little Oxycise! breathing and away it goes. I thought that maybe this could help some other breathers. Breathing also seems to put the kabosh on my occasional hot flashes...it makes them go away in a FLASH. I LOVE your Level 2 tape -- it reminds me of a lovely stretchy ballet class.

Thanks and thanks and thanks,

"I can honestly say my body is better than it has ever been."

"Jill,
I think the most exciting thing is that I feel like I'm 16. I would not have ever believed that I could breath and stretch and totally change the shape of my body. My skin seems tighter all over and my complexion is rosy. The breathing and the exercises are so powerful it hard to explain to people. Even my husband can't believe the change. He has had friends ask him if I had been lipoed. I take that as a great compliment. It's always nice to know it's not your imagination.

"The best thing happened over the weekend. I went to my favorite dress store and when I was trying on clothes the woman who usually helps me said "it's like dressing a totally different body". I'm not quite sure she believes I'm only breathing and stretching.

"I love the tape for the car. It helps keep me alert and I feel totally rested when I arrive at work and home. I'm driving better because you keep telling me to pay attention to the road. 

"The results are quick so that it keeps your spirits up. It only takes a few minutes so I never dread doing it. I've been doing it 2 times a day. Last Sunday I thought I should give me body a rest and not do anything. By 10:00 I just had to do Oxycise!.

"The difference in my back can't be measured in inches but there is a major difference. Not only is my body smaller but it has much more defined shape. The feeling of control you have knowing that you can change your shape and lose weight is amazing. I never had a great body . I always had a little old lady body, even as a teenager. I can honestly say my body is better than it has ever been. It feels really good to say that. I still have a way to go. It's nice knowing I will get there.

"I love your weekly newsletters, I find it very uplifting to read the stories and I love the recipes."

Thanks for teaching me how to breathe,
Eileen

"I love it! I even had to buy new jeans."

"I love it! I do the exercises first thing in the morning before I go to work. It helps to wake me up and energize me for the day. I notice a definite difference when, for some reason, I don't get to do them in the morning. I even do them on weekends simply because it makes me feel good.

I had lost about 12 pounds before I ever started Oxycise!, but then I seemed to plateau. I couldn't seem to lose those last 3-4 pounds that I wanted to. Since using Oxycise! consistently for the two and a half weeks, I've lost a couple of pounds. I think if I would take my measurements, that is where I would notice a big difference. My clothes are loose on me. I like loose, but a lot of things are now baggy!

"I love it! I even had to buy new jeans."

"Thanks for responding. I feel so good about your company. No company ever took such interest and time with me before. I'm not fat and really want to lose about 10 - 15 pounds. I'm in pretty good shape, a little jiggly in the thighs. So you're probably right about me losing at a slower rate. I'm going to keep up with the program, matter of fact, I just finished. Thanks for the tip on not holding my breath, like [another] program requires. I used to get the worst headache after doing the other program, so I'm glad I discovered yours. thanks!!!!"

"I feel like a celebrity..."

"The Oxycise! system is just too good to be true. I am now down to 170 lbs. from 203. I feel like a celebrity with all of the attention I am getting from my co-workers. I am a Property Manager. One of my residents met me about three months ago, and when she saw me last week she swore that I was not the same person she met earlier.

"I just have one word to say, and that is THANKS!"

Mark E. Calloway

"I just wish I had heard about this sooner."

"Hi Jill,
Thought I would let you know that I have been using the program since May 29th (for 2 weeks) and much to my surprise I have lost a total of 2 inches and 5 lbs. I just wish I had heard about this sooner. Thank you for giving me the desire to get back to the old me, which I know that I will see someday."

Sincerely,
Valerie
