“I am 45, and so the signs of aging combined with a large weight loss had left my body looking old, my skin really loose and without much tone. It was depressing to have finally lost so much weight, and yet to feel so bad about my body still. It was very depressing! I was feeling pretty hopeless that I could ever feel good about my body again…which is not the way one wants to feel after working so hard to lose weight! I had 20 more pounds I wanted to lose, but didn’t even want to do it, because I knew it meant I would feel worse about my body than I did before!

“I started doing Oxycise!, and even doing it only once a day, and not all that wholeheartedly and not all that often, I began to notice my body starting to firm up in some of the really loose areas. Then, I visited your website and got totally inspired. I read every single success story and decided to really go ‘all the way’ with Oxycise! Just two weeks ago, I began doing O twice a day, Level 1 in the morning and Level 2 after work. I also began to REALLY do the basic breath, I mean really doing it with gusto, and giving it all I’ve got.

“What has happened in the last two weeks has been nothing short of astounding. My skin is firming up and getting toned and tightened. I cannot believe how rosy my complexion is, and how much my body is toning and tightening and firming up! I have lost about 5 more pounds, and have gone down 2 pants sizes in 2 weeks, just from my body tightening up so much. My cellulite is going away! This is cellulite I’ve had for over 20 years, that NOTHING would touch! And now it is just melting off me! My skin isn’t drooping anymore! The bags under my eyes have gone away, and I swear that even some wrinkles I was getting on my face are disappearing. The whites of my eyes are so much whiter. My body is getting re-proportioned. I am watching it change shape before my eyes on a daily basis…I can’t believe it!

“I also sleep better, have less stress and anxiety, am much happier all day, have a huge increase in endurance, have no more headaches, and have been able to go off some medications I was taking…I don’t need them anymore! I also notice that when I go fitness walking, I have absolutely no stiffness like I used to, and I can walk much farther with no exertion at all. My fitness level is definitely far above what it was before, even when I was doing hours of step aerobics and other kinds of exercise. Now, all I do is Oxycise!, twice a day, and some walking, and I am in 1000% better shape than I was when doing all those other forms of exercise that took so much more time to do!

“To say that I am sold on Oxycise! is the understatement of the millennium. I can’t tell you how happy I feel to finally know I have a tool to change my body and make it more youthful and beautiful and healthy, especially as I age. It truly is astounding the changes in my body over the past few weeks. I am so excited to see more changes that I know are on the way. It feels so good to know that I can finally have a toned body that I can feel good about, even at my age, and after having lost so much weight.

“Jill, thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for sharing your discovery with us. I will always be eternally grateful to you!”

“Now I Oxycise! in one thirty minute sitting (while my toddler naps) every single day, and I love it! I workout to levels 1 and 2 but levels 3 and 4 are waiting in the wings in case I get bored. My goal is to lose 35 excess baby pounds by the end of the year and I know, I know without a doubt that I can do it with Oxycise!

“So far Oxycise! has already reshaped my face and firmed and toned some muscles. And the energy! I never had energy before Oxycise, in fact, I used to take herbal supplements (Ginseng) to give me energy, but since Oxycising I threw them away.

“My testimony of Oxycise isn’t just in the inches and weight arena. If I never lost a pound or an inch I’d still O! because of the energy and confidence it gives me. It makes me feel great. I suffer from PMS, and my husband knows when I’ve been Oxycising (my family thanks Oxycise!).

“Because of the confidence and stamina and energy Oxycise! gave me, I accompanied my husband on a week long business trip to Seattle and Canada, entertaining our four children (ages 10, 8, 5 and a holy terror 17-month-old) all day while he worked. I never would have been able to handle that before O!

“So thanks Jill for sharing your discovery and research, thanks Julie for your inspiring steady newsletter, thanks Oxycise! for giving me my life back!

“Sidenote: here’s something I do to motivate me. I keep a pocket calendar on my kitchen wall and put a sticker on each day I O! which for me is two stickers a day. It’s positively heartening to see those stickers add up! Also, I scanned the cover of Jill’s book onto my computer as a desktop. So now whenever I’m at my computer I have Oxycise! on my screen (subliminal reminder to get up and do it!)”

Thank you all so much,
Lorna Goodman

Update:

“You may not remember me, but I am on the Oxycise! website ‘Smiles of Success.’ I have gone on to lose 40 more pounds since I submitted those, by following Jill’s ‘Fuel For Success’ eating plan mostly, and Oxycising when possible but not daily. I cannot say enough about eating more veggies and fruits and avoiding meat, dairy, sugar, etc. When I was just Oxycising alone I kept weight off, but not losing either, while eating all those unhealthy things (as Jill predicts in her book). As I did both, and even just following the eating lifestyle, I have dropped the weight.

“Her book, which in my opinion doesn’t get enough emphasis, is very similar to other plans out there including ‘Fit For Life’ and Marilu Henner’s (food combining.) Just wanted to mention that!”

Sincerely,
Lorna, Utah

Update:

“I really really appreciate your weekly Oxycise newsletter; thank you for the ongoing motivation!

“An Oxyciser for nearly four years, this is the one exercise I keep coming back to. I have in the past swam, jogged, jump-roped and danced my way to fitness, and currently enjoy the peaceful breathing movements of yoga and tai chi, but Oxycise! is the one exercise I consistently practice. Oxycise! gives me the tone, face shaping, mood-building, confidence and stamina I need, and working out with Jill is like having my own personal trainer. And I know I’m making a difference in my health on a cellular level.

“I like to play around with Oxycise so during my Level 1 & Level 2 workouts I’ve added ankle weights during one workout/tape and then switch them to my wrist during the other tape. This has been fun and I feel like I’m getting even more weight training with them.

“One bonus; I’ve decided to add meditation to my health program to help me focus because during Oxycise! my creativity streams forth continuously, and I constantly pause the tapes to write something down (goodbye writer’s block.) Good thing the workout can be done piecemeal instead of in a steady 15-minute burst!

“Well, just wanted to chime in with my progress, keep up the good work and keep on breathin’!”

Marilyn Blackwell

“P.S. Guess what? Last night I tried on my khaki dress that I haven’t worn in a year, and I could fit into it! Wow! OXYCISE!”

Another note from Marilyn:

“Hi Jill,

“It’s Marilyn Blackwell. I just had to confess that I really know that Oxycise works! People like me are bull-headed and still choose to beat up the body and walk for miles. Recently I got tired of my hips not moving. I started back on Oxycise! Buns and Thighs #1 and in just four days I started seeing results in my thighs and to think I’ve been working on my thighs all summer. I promise to be faithful again in Oxycising every day no matter what, because you will get results if you just do it. You will not have a headache afterwards like you get sometimes after jogging and your pressure has gone up. With Oxycise! you feel great! And you don’t hurt. The only thing that hurts is not doing it. I personally like it when my abs are a little sore. This lets me know I’m really taking in a lot of air and that my muscles are toning up. I tell everybody I meet about Oxycise!

“Thanks so much.”

Update from Chris:

“This past May I started an intensive exercise program with kickboxing/weights/yoga (60min) and alternating with aerobics/yoga(45-60 min) alternate days. From May until now I have only missed eight days. During that time I tightened up and felt more conditioned and limber, but no changes in inches lost. Then six weeks ago I started Oxycise! I love this program and combined it with my other routine because I like the routine that I got in to. I Oxycise! at least once a day and on many days do Levels I and II and also in my car when I am driving. What a surprise when I measured this morning. I still weigh 145, but am so much tighter and toned and my face is firmer. I lost 1/2″ from my back (as measured under my bust); 1/2″ from my waist; 1/2″ from below my navel; 1/2″ from my hips; and 1/2″ from my thighs. I am absolutely amazed at these results. I find the breathing easy and enjoyable and am energized by this. Thank Jill for this wonderful program.”

“I have also lost 5 inches on my stomach – really wonderful and amazing! I don’t look like I am constantly pregnant anymore. I also see some lovely results in my face and over my body. I have been a slow loser, however, I did not realize how deprived my body was of oxygen until I started Oxycise! I was barely even breathing before, it’s a wonder I was even alive!

“I love that I can do Oxycise! anywhere at anytime, even taking a few sniffs and puffs anywhere and everywhere! We are getting ready to move and I was doing my Oxycise breath while I was packing, so even though I may not get through a whole 15 minute routine, I still try to get in my 15 minutes of breathing to keep my tummy tight and trim.

“And I finally began breathing while driving. I have been challenging myself to breathe through a whole song or red light. I now have to commute between our two homes every week and it’s a 164 mile drive one way. God Bless Oxycise!

“I have lots and lots more energy now and I love the way my face tingles and some body parts when they are flooded with Oxygen! Thank you for listening.”

“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.”

Lanier Cordell

From Lorraine:

“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.

“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.”

9 years later…

“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.”

“This past Christmas my mother took some photos and a lot of people commented on how much thinner and nicer my face looked (gotta’ love those types of comments!).

“Every so often my allergies kick up and I have to breathe out of my mouth, but for the most part it’s smiling for me!”

“…My husband and I go out mushroom picking in the fall and I was finding it a struggle to walk across the yard. And can you imagine how hard it would be to drag 250 lbs up the mountains to pick mushrooms. I had also taken to hiding out more or less at home because I felt fat…forget the mirror! Amen! Then as it was so incredibly hot here this fall, we couldn’t go picking because the sun dried up the mushrooms…(not that I was in any shape to go anyway) so I had taken to viewing the shopping channel now and then and caught you on in September. At one point you either read or talked about someone over 50 losing weight on the Oxycise! Program…and I felt the Lord as ‘this is for you’…you also gave a demonstration of the Oxycise! Basic Breath and I ordered the program. As it takes 10 days for us on the west coast of Canada to get stuff from the Shopping Channel I started deep breathing from what I had seen you do on T.V.

“Since I got my videos 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 program 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.

“The other best part about this is that for years my weight has driven my husband nuts (we’ve been married for 34 yrs 8 months) and for the first time in ages he is hopeful I’ll keep losing and so am I. I feel good and am climbing up the mountains getting mushrooms. Today, I am 52 years young and not afraid that each day may very well be my last…last summer when my granddaughter was visiting with us she said to me one day, ‘Gramma, Mom says that you’re getting so fat you are likely to die anytime, so can I have your rings when you die?’ Well, praise God for Oxycise! and you! This is one Gramma who is energized and enjoying every minute of losing unwanted lbs and inches.

“… I get tears in my eyes when I think of how much Oxycise! has done for me.

“God Bless you Jill,”

“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!”

“Then I saw you on QVC. Your program made logical sense to me. I initially started the program just to boost my fat loss. I also sing and play instruments so I figured that it would help me there as well.

“It is simply amazing to me, but my results have dramatically improved since I began your program. I am actually starting to see some fat loss now. The most dramatic places are my face and stomach. I have lost 1 1/2 inches from my waist in two weeks! I am so pleased that I have decided to do the level one workout twice a day. I am doing the workout in the morning and in the evenings. In the morning, I taking a break while at work to do the workout. I enjoy doing the exercises during work because they help me keep my energy up during the day.

“Thanks for your wonderful discovery!!! I am spreading the word.”

“What I did was to practice breathing with my hands on the lower rib cage so I was filling up the lungs and abdomen without pushing the lower abdomen out. With this breathing technique the lower abdomen just naturally extended with yummy oxygen and thus I was able to successfully draw the abdomen in when it was required.

“I am now experiencing a much flatter stomach which is making me feel younger.

“I also went back to using the Level 1 DVD which I am finding the whole body is firming up especially the torso. Husband has only just commented on what a curvy waist I now have and how am looking quite taut.

“Thanks Jill I don’t know what us humans would have done if you did not search, establish and share your knowledge on the ease of looking and feeling great. I will also mention I did grab one of my old exercise DVD’s which I used to love to do but found some of it hard to do. It was easy to do because of how flexible I have become through Oxycise but after the exercise instead of feeling exhilarated and alive I felt drained and sore.

“So Oxycise really does work giving you a great workout and helping us lose weight, become flexible and feel fantastic, as well as looking younger.”

“I have learned two things from Oxycise!: I always knew I should breathe deeply, but I didn’t know how to do it correctly — Oxycise! has taught me how. Now I just breathe deeply all during the day! Also, I didn’t know before that breathing out carbon dioxide burns fat.

“The exciting thing about Oxycise! is that it works! I’m feeling high on oxygen! I feel so good! I thank God for it; Everything about it is a godsend.”

“I have to admit within the first two weeks I started seeing improvement. This gave me the incentive to continue. Five weeks later I have a body as toned and firm as I could have ever wished for! I am wearing a modest bikini this year even!!! The fat rolls on my back have disappeared – I never believed that could have happened.

“Jill, Thank you so much for such a wonderful product. You really do deserve a lot more recognition than you are getting!

“Thanks for changing my life.”
