"I want to share my story. I hurt my back very badly 8 months ago and yesterday I was able to knead the bread to be baked, wash the car with the hand held hose and a few other things that required the use of my back. Do you know, my back did not hurt at all, doing all these activities that a few short months ago, I would not have dared to even attempt. I will be so ever thankful to Oxycise!, because of it I can now lead an active and full life. I have been doing Oxycise! for only 2 months.

"I do Oxycise! for about 10 minutes each morning, then do it again in the evening. Whoever heard of such a way to do exercise and still lose weight, lose inches and look and feel great? Isn't this wonderful???? I really think so and I thank the people that helped this to happen for all of us.

"I am 62 years old, soon to be 63."

"I have been enjoying Oxycise! for over 3 months now and I am so thrilled to have lost over 18 inches and 8 pounds. I have the levels 1 - 4 videos and abs and upper body. I don't feel I need the buns and thighs as it's not my problem area which is mostly around the middle...

"Thanks again for a wonderful program. I can't go a day without doing it first thing in the morning. It helps a lot with my back pain."

"Dear Jill,
I want to thank you for developing Oxycise! It is fabulous and has changed my life! I purchased the videotapes last May from QVC and have been faithfully doing it every other day. I have fibromyalgia and a 15-inch steel rod in my back (I had a spinal fusion for scoliosis when I was a teenager) and have not been able to exercise for years. I have tried swimming, walking, and many various videotapes all to no avail. My pain level would always get worse and I'd be set back for weeks. I had seen you on QVC a number of times and decided to give it a try. I am so glad I did. My physical therapist, who I see once a month, cannot get over the progress I have made and because of that I have made more progress with her than we ever expected! It has really strengthened my abdominal muscles as well as my lower back. I have been able to start walking and my pain level has dropped considerably. Because of the breathing component it has even helped my seasonal asthma! The one week I did miss a few days I really felt a difference in my back pain, so I haven't missed a session since. I have recommended it to a number of my friends and family. The added benefit of weight loss and loss in inches is just an added plus for me--it has helped improve my posture as well. What more can I say?! Thank you so much, I just had to let you know what a difference you have made in my life."

Sincerely Yours,

"Julie,
Just got back from my chiropractor . . got a lower back adjustment. We do a lot of 4-wheeling in the mountains and it's hard on my lower back. She said there pretty much was no movement in it until she worked on it. Afterward we were talking and she said she really thought I should get back to being more regular with my Oxycise! as she really noticed a difference in how well my back did when I was doing it. I've been slacking off for awhile and she could really tell. So there you go . .an endorsement for Oxycise! from a chiropractor (and totally unsolicited)."

"My 15-year-old daughter and I have been "Oxycising" together for only a month, but already we are both experiencing benefits, some of which we did not expect!

"And because of my own knee and lower back limitations, we have been using the "Easy Does It" videos, too!

"I have just turned 50 and, being pre-menopausal, have experienced a slight weight gain putting me in the "overweight" category. I need to lose about 15 pounds to put me where I really need to comfortably be. After only the first week of "Oxycise!", I lost 5 pounds! Someone even asked me if I was losing weight. By the second week, my upper inner thighs no longer chafed and rubbed when I walk. And I have been able to train myself to involuntarily switch from being a "chest" breather to breathing "diaphragmatically".

"But the most SIGNIFICANT improvement of all, I must say, has been to my skeletal posture. I have endured the physical affects of scoliosis for over 30 years. Because of the scoliosis, I have lived with various abnormalities in my posture and skeletal "shape": My spine alignment has been in the shape of a "question mark" (causing the upper right side of my back to frequently tense and "hump" up), my right wing bone has protruded almost at a right angle from my back shoulder [and] is higher than the other, my rib cage has been distended (like a lamp shade or bell) and distorted/shoved to one side, and one leg is 2-3" shorter than the other.

"While I haven't noted a significant difference in the length of my leg or the position of my right wing bone -- YET -- my daughter and I have noticed a significant difference in the shape and size of my RIB CAGE! The "belling" and distention of my rib cage has significantly REDUCED! Though I never measured the girth of my rib cage at its widest point, it is noticeably narrower, that is, NOT as distended and distorted as before! My upper back doesn't tense up as much as it used to, and my daughter says my spine looks straight! Even my lower back does not tense up as much as it used to!

"All with the LEVEL 1 "EASY DOES IT" video (with only slight modifications to a couple of the exercises).

"I have talked to my friends about the benefits my daughter and I have experienced this past month. In particular, I have mentioned the "Easy Does It" program to a 65-year-old friend who suffers from high blood pressure, diabetes, osteoarthritis, damaged knees and lung damage from severe cases of pneumonia."

"...Aside from the weight and inch loss, I now no longer suffer from lower back pain in the mornings - which I thought was due to my mattress - but I guess it wasn't. This is a wonderful way to exercise - especially for those of us with small children - when going to the gym or even a brisk walk through the neighborhood isn't feasible."
