I got BF and would have liked to start but you need an empty stomach to do it. Frankly, my stomach is rarely empty except for early in the day. I want something I could do mid-day even if I had a bite to eat 30 minutes ago. So I'd like to try Oxycise.

My question now is can I just do proper breathing and not the exercises every other day? My objective isn't to lose weight but I need more energy. I am a shallow breather and feel rather lethargic most of the day.

I hope that Oxycise will teach me how to breathe deeper, expand my lungs and give me energy. I would do exercises some days but just breathing some other days.

Any advice?
Thanks.

Hello Mrs Cleaver and welcome to the board. I too am a shallow breather who is doing this more to regain breath health than to shape my body. I have never gotten into doing the exercises. I have the commuter CD and just listen to it to get the pace of the breathing correctly while laying in bed in the morning. It definitely helps me. I believe it will help you also. Warmly, Wendy

Mrs. by all means learn to do the deep breathing. It gives you energy and you feel refreshed. Also, your muscles need oxygen so it is a good way to feed them too.

Welcome to the board.
What's BF?

Hi Jeans,

BF means Body Flex.

Thanks for all your replies.

Oh yeah, I forgot about BF

I found with O! even if you just ate Thanksgiving dinner you can go do an O! workout or the deep breathing. It won't hurt you. You'll actually feel better.

Good luck.

Hello MrsCleaver and welcome to the Oxycise! Message Boards!

The main purpose of Oxycise! is to provide your body with lots of extra oxygen. So the breathing itself is the most important part of the Oxycise! workout.

Please keep in mind though that in order to achieve your best results, it is important to do the complete Oxycise! workout which incorporates the breathing technique with the flexing and contracting of all your major muscle groups.

I am sure you will see positive changes in your body by just changing the way you breathe. Please let us know how you progress!

Good luck to you and keep on breathin'!
