Anxiety, depression, panic attacks

Author: Martina
Subject: I feel happier

"I suffer from anxiety and depression. Oxycise! has really helped me. Part of my anxiety is getting panic attacks where I get very breathless and hyperventilate. Now I can control my breathing so well that the duration of my attacks has lessened a lot. I have a lot of weight to lose and frankly have not seen any lost inches or pounds but I would continue doing Oxycise! for the effect its having on my mental health alone. I'm sure that the pounds and inches will follow before too long too."

Stress and depression

"Over the months I have lost 44 pounds and have been so happy with Oxycise! that it's my only exercise regimen. I especially like the buns/thighs and abs/arms tapes....

"After doing Oxycise! for many months, in October we received some bad news about a loved one and I went into a tailspin of depression. For the first time since starting, I stopped Oxycising. For about a month I was just miserable and I put weight back on, felt spongy again, overate constantly, clothes got tight and - worst of all - I couldn't shake the cycle of depression. Finally, I MADE myself start Oxycise! again because I couldn't bear the way I felt. It was hard making myself get started again but I used the trick of reminding myself that it's ONLY 15 minutes and even I can't begrudge 15 little minutes. Thank goodness I did. Right away I began to cope better. My clothes began to fit again, my overeating calmed down but, most importantly, I felt my emotional strength returning.

"Like most Americans, I am constantly in a battle with my weight and Oxycise! has naturally been a fantastic discovery for weight loss and body contouring. But I must tell you that it has been an equal, if not greater, benefit in improving my physical and emotional health. Because it's only 15 minutes long, I can almost always talk myself into doing it, even if I'm lazy or depressed or not in the mood. I ordered it on such a whim and yet it has been a tremendous gift. I am so grateful to Jill J. and all of you for your stories, newsletters and constant inspiration. You can believe I will keep on breathing!!"

Many thanks,

Mood swings, depression

"...I don't have the mood swings/depression that I use to and I do notice that my muscle tone and my flexibility is increasing daily."

"...So, I wanted you to know that you're right, my body is responding to Oxycise! I guess, as most people, I was hoping for quicker results on the outside. I know however, with Oxycise! the outside results will come when my body is ready and finished repairing what's on the inside."

Thanks so much for your help.

Low energy, depression

"I had gained about 40 lbs. in the last 4 years and kept having to buy bigger clothes. Although people told me I didn't look like I weighed as much as I did, I knew that I was uncomfortable. I tried different diets but wasn't really willing to do much exercise. My energy level was very very low and I suffered from depression. I found Oxycise! on the Internet and decided I had nothing to lose.

"I have to say that Oxycise! is the best thing I have ever found for weight loss and energy! In one week, I lost 5 lbs and could just about fit comfortably into my one size smaller pants. Also, I realized immediately that I didn't crave sugar or chocolate anymore. And believe me that's a miracle! After 3-1/2 weeks, I can fit into the pants I wore 5 years ago! I have lost a total of 10 lbs. but I know I've lost inches all over. I also have a much higher energy level and have no more depression. I'm so excited that something this easy can really work..."

"I think I'll be doing this for a long long time. Thank you so much for helping me attain my goals! I've told lots of friends about it and they're amazed at my results and are excited to try it for themselves."

Depression, anxiety, lack of focus, irritability

"HI Jill,
First I want to thank you for your wonderful Oxycise! program. I have suffered from depression, anxiety, lack of focus and irritability for over a year now. Oxycise! has helped me to have more energy, to remain much calmer when things get hectic and I am able to focus on work so much better. Instead of being irritable around my 3-1/2 year old son, I find myself spending more and more quality time with him. In general I'm happier. I actually find myself walking with a little skip now. I love all these benefits and will continue to do Oxycise everyday (I just ordered the level II tape)...

"...My muscle tone is amazing - my biceps and my tummy and legs are really firm..."

"...Thank you again for this wonderful program and I do look forward to new tapes you may put out in the future."

Depression, PMS

"I am happy to report that I have lost about 45 lbs. and almost 30 inches since June and have gone from a size 24 to about a 14. Also, I had suffered from depression and was going to schedule an appointment with my doctor to be put on antidepressants, but since Oxycising, I have not suffered from the symptoms of depression that plagued me for over 15 years. My family and friends have all commented to me that I am a completely different person now, and I know that Oxycise! is a big part of that change! Several of my Oxycising friends and I have even noticed that our PMS symptoms have virtually disappeared as a result of using the tapes! (I know the men in our lives thank you for that!)

"I want to send a great big thanks to everyone at Oxycise! for providing such a wonderful, natural way to lose weight and feel better about yourself..."

Depression 

"As I told you before I have not lost very much weight, but I have seen so many improvements that I won't give up. When I first started I was depressed a lot and after a couple of weeks I noticed I was not getting depressed. In fact I started Oxycise! in Nov. last year and I haven't had a bout with depression since. My right shoulder hurt all the time and I could hardly lift things. If I reached up into the cupboard for something I had to brace my arm with my other hand so I could bring it back down. This had been going on for about 3 years. Two or 3 weeks after starting to Oxycise! I noticed my shoulder wasn't hurting anymore. I can now move my arm up and down and take things out of the top cupboard with no problem. I have atrial fibrillation and many times when I begin to have an episode I have been able to stop it by doing the 'Basic Breath' several times. I was really afraid at first to Oxycise! because of my heart, but it has helped, not made it worse. When I first started, after doing the exercises on the floor I would have to crawl over to a chair and pull myself up. Now I just stand myself up in the middle of the floor.  What a great feeling. My husband was so skeptical of this whole thing until he began to notice these positive changes in me. Now he does 15 minutes every morning before he goes to work.   I am still expecting pounds to come off. I don't understand that part of it, but the other positive changes are so good I will not quit. When the pounds come off I will let you know."

"How come everybody doesn't OXYCISE! ? 

Sincerely, Ruth Roberts

Mood disorders

"One benefit of Oxycise! that I never notice until I stop doing it consistently is how it lifts my moods. I have been to counselors, psychologists, and even a psychiatrist over my short 24 years to be treated for depression, and they all agree I have a propensity for it. I have been on all the medications, from Zoloft to Prozac, but could not find any with side effects I could live with. I also tried the natural remedies, which did work well, but I was worried about long-term side effects (i.e. ones that may show up in ten years!) from taking it every day. Incidentally, mood disorders run in my family so I am sure this will always be a battle ground for me.

"When I Oxycise! consistently, my moods are much more consistent and I become a much more optimistic person. I also find it easier to tackle hard emotionally-grounded issues for myself when I am Oxycising.

"So, now that I write that, I realize I need to get back to Oxycising twice daily... I have been slacking lately and have noticed how much more moodier I am and how the small tasks seem more difficult again. Two days ago my husband said to me, "you should Oxycise! more..." but he didn't expand on why... now I realize what he meant!"

Depression 

"I've had amazing results with Oxycise in just a little over 1 week. I've suffered from severe and debilitating fibromyalgia and clinical depression for many years. The antidepressants packed the pounds on me and the fibro made it very difficult to workout since everything felt like high impact. Even though I felt tired, achy and discouraged (I've tried many different programs) I figured that 15 minutes was something I could commit to every day.

"This morning I looked at myself in the mirror and said 'Whoa, girl, you're lookin' good!' I haven't yet lost any pounds, but have become more tightened and lifted. Also, my energy and muscle soreness from the fibro are so much improved. In short, I'm so impressed that I want to become an instructor and spread the word here in Oregon..."

Fatigue, Low energy

 "I have had Oxycise for about 2-3 weeks now.

"One day this week I woke up feeling extremely tired, downright exhausted . . .I barely made it through work, just totally exhausted, no energy physically or mentally, but still had so many things to accomplish. I decided to Oxycise and see if it would make a difference in my day. I did the entire routine, which I timed at 18 minutes. When I finished, I felt energized. What a difference it made! I was in a better mood, more energized, life wasn't nearly the struggle it had been before those 18 minutes.

"The following night, which was my son's birthday, I didn't have time to Oxycise when I got home from work as we had a full evening celebrating my son's birthday. By the time I got the kids into bed and settled down, it was 8:30 PM. I was exhausted!! So I decided I'd Oxycise! Well, I was so energized, I was up until 10:30 PM. I'm never energized at 10:30 PM, in fact, I've usually put in at least one and a half hours sleep by that time . I felt great.

"I'm convinced Oxycise! is very beneficial. Having energy when you have two small children is crucial!!!!"

Andrea Tomasi

Stress, moodiness 

"I have been using Oxycise! for seven weeks and to date, have lost 11 pounds and 10 ¼ inches! I have tried conventional aerobic exercise and dieting, and got absolutely nowhere. I take medication to control my heart rhythm, but I tire out before I really get into an aerobic range...not with Oxycise! I get into an aerobic zone immediately...but the benefits haven't stopped at weight loss...I simply don't recall a time in my life where I felt this good, for this long...and I was one of those people that would literally wake up in the morning, wishing the day would end. I feel alert and awake and creative. I find that little things don't bother me anymore ...I'm so much calmer, and I deal with the problems of everyday life so much better. If you don't use this program for weight loss, then use it because it will lift your mood, and give you a true sense of well-being.

"I have even found that using Oxycise! during respiratory illnesses - colds or allergies seems to shorten the duration of the problem! PMS has vanished. . . In leading an Oxycise! lifestyle, my skin looks fabulous.

"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 Hershkowitz

"Feeling fabulous"

"Hi Jill!
Just thought I'd let you know,10 pounds have fallen away, and a total of 10 ¼" are gone! I am feeling fabulous, and clothes are getting baggier and baggier!

"Thanks so much for that boost in the morning that gets me out the door, and sometimes in the evening when I just need a little lift."

Carol Singleton

More energy, less stress

"I have lost 7 more pounds. I have so much more energy. Who would have thought that breathing could do this for someone. My thighs are down ¾" each and my hips are down a full 1". I never thought my waist would ever be this small. I don't resent doing Oxycise! I think it's because I have seen results so quickly.

"I love the cassette tape. I do it once on the way to work and twice on the way home. I'm much easier to live with since I've been using the cassette. It helps with the stress from work.

'The newsletter is a joy. I love the stories.

"I can't tell you enough how thrilled I am with Oxycise!"

Eileen

More relaxed, more calm

"In the past month since I have been on Oxycise! I have lost three pounds and two inches from my waist (the only place I measure). My clothes are fitting much more comfortably and probably the most important thing is I am much more relaxed. I sleep much better at night and am much calmer through the day..."

Thanks again.
Mary Jette

"No Zest for life"

"When I initially posted I felt twice my age, tired, dragging, no zest for life. Oxycise! has made me feel sooo much better. I have more energy now and after doing my Oxycise! routine I want to do more things . . . I have a whole new attitude! It's kind of a snowballing effect and I'm enjoying the new me. Thanks for your help in getting me to where I am."

Victoria

Energized With Oxycise!

"I've been using Oxycise! every night for a week now (I also do a few of the positions during the day in my office when I get tired or my back starts to ache from typing). . . I have noticed in this past week that I feel great (people keep asking me why I'm in such a good mood all this week too). I am able to get up without a problem in the morning when my alarm goes off at 5:30 instead of dragging my butt out of bed after hitting the snooze 5 times. I also noticed last weekend that I didn't need to take a nap at 11:30 a.m. after being up for 2 hours!! On Sunday after I did Oxycise! at around 4:00 p.m. I went for a 30 minute walk on our bike trail at about 7:00. I had a little trouble going to sleep that night because I was so energized! "

"..Oxycise! makes me feel wonderful. This is the only exercise that I have not had to force myself to do everyday."

Stress Relief, Energy Boost

"I have wanted to write and share with you the blessings I have received from doing Oxycise! I am a single working mother of an energetic 6-year-old and for me energy, more importantly than weight control, has been at the core of my exercising. The ongoing challenge is time, not necessarily willingness or motivation.

"All that being said, I want to praise the amazing other benefits of Oxycise! that I don't always hear people talking about. I am a religious user of the commuter routine tape as I am on the road traveling to and from work one hour each way each day. I use it when I am about 15 minutes from my home as a way to transition from Work Woman to Loving Mommy. When I am finished any anger, depression, frustration or concern has dropped from me and my body. It feels like magic. I am happy and enthusiastic and at peace (which is often important driving in rush hour traffic). I not only feel energized but really grateful for all I have and all that is yet before me. In many spiritual traditions the breath is the basis of life and is used as a way of bringing peace into the body and releasing everything that is unlike it, out through the exhale. I believe there is so much more we could be using our bodies for if we tuned them up using the power of our breath.

"I used to pay a gentleman $60 a session to do breath and body work with me. I still go when I need a tune up but the benefits I gained from doing the breathwork with him I get from doing Oxycise! AND all in 15 minutes in my car on the way home from work! Could it get any better? I also know the tape well enough that I can do these exercises anytime, anywhere and the only equipment I need is me!

"... The benefits just keep on coming! Thanks again for bringing such a wonderful tool to all of us looking for better and more conscious ways to live our lives!"

"A very uptight person just melted away"

"Your program did everything you said but weight loss... My secretary thought I had started taking drugs I was so mellow and relaxed. A very uptight person just melted away. My skin tightened up, my resting heart rate dropped, the occasional asthma went away, muscles started returning, inches dropped but no weight loss. In fact, I gained a bit. I put on my heart monitor and realized that I was not raising my heart rate enough because I was already so stretched out from prior months of exercise. In fact, the relaxing was having such a dramatic effect that I was burning fewer calories.

"...I am now dropping weight rapidly because I am getting the heart rate up." 

Thanks, Pat Britton
