"Oxycise! is the best thing that has happened to me. It will be with me for life. I ordered level one tape from QVC last July and then the book from Jill. It is the easiest, most natural way to lose and maintain weight I have known. Believe me, I have struggled with yo-yo dieting most of my adult life.
"I am a 62 year of woman who retired in January of this year. Since I am a morning person, the first thing I do upon arrival and making my bed is to go through the 'O' program. Then I walk approximately two miles five to six days a week. The results have been great.
"I have lost 30 pounds and 11 inches in my waist. I have gone from size 16-18 pants to a size 10. The good thing about 'O' is that I have been able to maintain my weight for more than six months and feel better than ever. My friends have noticed that there is something different about my face. I have shared 'O' with several people and they have been "turned on" and ordered the tapes also. To me, the secret is to do 'O' immediately upon getting up in the morning. This way it is done for the day and you don't have to think about it again. Occasionally, I will do it at night also if I have over-eaten that day."
Jane began writing to us last year about her Oxycise! success:
"I am 66 yrs young, 5' 6½", approx. 136 lbs & I can NOW manage to stay a size 8 & totally pain free after many years of severe back pain. My body fat is 15% which is WAY below the ideal or average for this age.
"I have been doing Oxycise! now for about 1 yr. & after having a top weight of 235 lbs in my youth, I've been fighting all my life to keep it off. Before discovering Oxycise!, I found STAYING at a size or weight at this time in my life much more difficult from all the years of drastic diets, fasting, diet doctors with pills, injections -- you name it!!!
"Now, I eat whatever I want but in moderation, of course, and as long as I Oxycise! I can stay & look the same. No doubt 'O!' has become a routine part of my life also because of the flexibility, strength and energy that I have at this old age. I really do not feel as well, in every way, on days when I unavoidably miss my 'O!' workout.
"NOBODY believes my age because I do not have that 'mature' body so I can't get my Sr. discounts anywhere unless I show I.D. !!!!!
"I love the way I look & feel and only wish that the others out there from my generation would realize there IS something you can do to increase your quality of life.---- it's never too late!!
"I truly believe that the many people of my generation really NEED the Oxycise! system because its easy for them to do if they happen to be physically challenged."
Sincerely,
Jane Cook

Updates from Jane
"Well, just an update-----been doing the "buns& thighs " workout & can't believe the definition, tone & shape.!!! Being in Vegas, people (women!) stop me on the street & ask if I'm a dancer! At this age? (but they don't know that)
"I LOVE THIS WHOLE PROGRAM !!!!!!! This is something I can do FOREVER! Feel better now than in my 30's---honest!
"Feel TERRIFIC!!!! NO medications, Rx or over-the-counter (just vitamin supplements)!!!!

"Does this get any better? don't think so at 67yrs. I LOVE THIS PROGRAM!!!!!!!"
"Just a quick note to say I'm hooked on Oxycise! I am 64 years old and since I've been doing the Oxycise I feel like a young chick!
"My daughter Penny Edwards, who is a nurse, told me how much better she felt after she started the program. So I thought I'd give it a try. I'm sold on it. I've been inviting some of my friends over to our home to do the program. We're getting so many people interested, that we may have to go up to the community center. I haven't really weighed myself to see how much weight I've lost, but I feel so much better it is just amazing.. I'd like to apply for a spot on your new infomercial..."

Lorraine, now 81
From Lorraine's daughter:
"I ordered your advanced tapes a month ago for my 72-year-old mother. I had given her my copy of the original Oxycise! tape and she loved it so much she wanted more. In five weeks she has lost 14 pounds, 5 inches in her stomach, 5 inches in her waist 3 inches in her hips, over an inch in each thigh, 3 inches in her bust. Her face, neck and arms have tightened and she is seeing muscle in places she has never seen it before. She has previously been walking 5 miles a day, plus going to a weight training class for seniors. Best of all her mental state has improved remarkably. She is more optimistic and cheerful than she has been in years. She swears that Oxycise! is a miracle and seeing her results, she may be right."

"My daughter gave me my Oxycise! kit for Mother's Day. However, she gave it to me April 1, more than a month earlier. I have done the 15 minute Oxycise! every day since April 1. Within 2 weeks, just out of curiosity, I tried on a few skirts I could not button for a long time. Much to my amazement they now fit. I feel so much firmer around the middle, and now I am beginning to see that I have a waist. I have lost only four pounds, however, I am past my 80th birthday, and I realize it may be more difficult to lose, but I am thrilled with what has happened around my middle. Also I have found I have more strength in my arms. I have been suffering with a shoulder pain which my doctor took an x-ray and said it was inflammation in the area. He prescribed Mobic for the inflammation. My orthopedic surgeon said he could give me some exercises which may help. Well, I do not have that shoulder pain anymore. I haven't taken Mobic for one month. Could it be the raising of the arm, reaching, etc., deep breathing? Also I have had wheezing in my chest for two years, especially after doing something strenuous. The wheezing is gone. It has to be the deep breathing. I attribute all of the above improvements to the Oxycise! program. I do my 15 minute workout immediately when I get out of bed in the morning, before breakfast. I just get up earlier so it doesn't interfere with the rest of the day. I love it. Thanks to Jill."

"Now I know I am benefiting from Oxycise! Last year I visited my son and his family in Salt Lake City. We had to walk in the cold about two blocks, and when we reached our destination, I had to sit down, I was wheezing so badly. In fact my daughter-in-law said she had noticed that I was wheezing even when resting at the house. I started Oxycise! -- that was a gift from my daughter. I have seen many benefits, but now I know it has helped me. I went to Salt Lake City this Christmas, and we did a lot of walking outside in the cold air. Not a wheeze could be heard. I know the deep breathing has helped my lungs."

"I am a young 60 years old. My name is Kate. I am 5 ft. 7 and started out at 240 lbs. I'm a college graduate with a masters in business management and hold a professional position in administration. Unfortunately, the latter means I sit in front of a computer a lot. In September my doctor told me I was on the cusp of Type 2 Diabetes (The type where your body is insulin resistant). Up until I turned 30 I weighed 153, but gained weight after my last pregnancy and found it impossible to lose it and keep it off. My blood pressure went up as did my cholesterol, but It didn't particularly bother me. I'm healthy. I'm friendly and outgoing. People treat me well and I am able to do most of the activities I enjoy doing. When my weight becoming a medical problem, however, I made up my mind to do something about it. My husband saw the Oxycise! tapes advertised in the paper and ordered them for me.
"The first thing I noticed - and the reason I got 'hooked' on Oxycise! - was the change in my face. I lost my double chin the first week. I didn't know you could do that! Then I started noticing other changes almost on a daily basis - a dimple in my smile, a waste line. The most startling discovery, however, was the day I found myself going down the stairs at the movies taking one step after another (as opposed to going down one step, bringing my feet together and then taking the next). I stopped in the middle of the staircase turned to my husband in astonishment at what I had just done. He just grinned.
"In the first 6 weeks I lost 20 pounds. This happened easily and effortlessly with only minor changes in my diet to avoid sugar, white bread etc. I was never hungry. If anything, I ate all the time. Then I reached a plateau and began losing at about a half pound a week. My body, however continues to change shape. My joints don't hurt anymore. In fact my knees and back don't bother me at all - despite turning myself into a pretzel with the Level 4 workout! I don't get cramps in my legs in the middle of the night. I am sleeping better. And when I look down, the biggest thing between me and my toes is my chest.
"I started doing Oxycise! to lose weight. Now I do it because I like it. It feels good."

Elise -- age 99!
We recently spoke with 99-year-old Elise from IA, who was calling to reorder the Commuter Audio workout for her daughter. Elise says she is still quite active and loves Oxycise! She will be celebrating her 100th birthday this year!

"I just need to thank someone. This is my day - up at 6, do my first set of O's. Bathe, get dressed for work. Have a fruit smoothie and cantaloupe for breakfast. Get on the computer and find out how everyone else is doing on Oxycise! Go to my part time job from 9-1. Have a veggie sandwich for lunch. Come home (after going to grocery store, library, etc.) let my two dogs in the house for our afternoon nap. Watch Northern Exposure and L.A.Law,then do my second set of O's at 4:00. After that work in the yard a little, do a little crossstitch, figure out what to eat for dinner (using the "Fuel" book) and enjoy the rest of the day.This may not seem so exciting to most people, but to me it is wonderful. I'm 68 and after 49 years of marriage, my dear husband had a massive heart attack and died on Dec.25. I have been in limbo since, until I came across this Oxycise! It has given me a GOAL. It's something I can DO. Thanks, Oxycise!"

"I am crazy about Oxycise! and have so many of my friends doing it too...
"I am already down to the size I want, feel better and a nice tight tummy and thighs and I am 74 and look wonderful, I have only been doing Oxycise! for three weeks.
"People do not believe me till they try it. I'm so grateful for Oxycise!. I have fought weight all my life, tried everything, but this is the best, easiest yet and makes you feel so energized! People think I am in my fifties. Makes you feel good!"
