"I share my enthusiasm for Oxycise! with everyone I know. Week by week I can feel the core of my body getting stronger. The combination of deep breathing and exhaling, and the isotonic exercises that Jill has devised really are 'health-producing!' I wish I had started 20 years ago! ....Sincerest thanks again, to Jill, for inventing a simple exercise routine that helps your body in so many ways without gadgets, expensive equipment, and ideas (and positions) that are absolutely foreign to most folks. Oxycise! is the best, and I hope to do it for the rest of my life." ~ Mary, Age 62

*A* Lose Weight for Good with Oxycise!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oxycise! is not a "quick fix" for weight problems and it's not magic.

But it really does work and if you are willing to devote 15-20 minutes a day, you can make real changes in your body. Don't expect to lose 10 pounds in 10 days. But if you want permanent results, and a great tool for staying fit for life, Oxycise! is your ticket to success!

"I'm closing in quickly on 50 and have been feeling my age in my joints. Therefore, it was very important for me to have an exercise plan that was easy on my joints -- not a lot of jumping around, etc. Oxycise! is terrific for that. It is gentle yet strenuous at the same time -- you really feel like you get a good workout. I like the way Jill demonstrates how to modify the positions if you have trouble with particular joints. I can do all the exercises now but am pleased that it is a plan that can be modified to last me the rest of my life." ~ Leslie

"Hi,
I enjoy Oxycise! very much. If I happen to miss a day of Oxycise! especially in the morning, I don't feel as good as I would if Oxycise! had been done. My energy is good, I'm calmer and think better and faster and it's easy to be pleasant. I've been averaging Oxycise! 6 times a week in the morning in the 4-5 years that I've been practicing. I'm so strong now that I do one tape back-to-back.

"I'm 55 with a back injury and Jill's program is the best exercise program for me. It has helped to strengthen my back. Some of the positions I modify with ease. When I do Oxycise! in the evening and I actually sleep better and wake up feeling good. Oxycise! is good in the morning and evening as well."

Thank you!

Mary Ellen adds:
"I have much more muscle tone than before. My clothes fit looser, but I weigh about the same. I'm happy with this. What is most important to me is that I feel physically stronger and I have more stamina. I walk with strength and energy and balance - I feel solid. I don't get sick nor tired like others around me. Oxycise! isn't a chore for me, I look forward to each workout because I know how good I'll feel."

"Good morning,
This weekend while cleaning out a closet, I found the records I kept when I started Oxycise! in 1999. WOW, was I pleased with myself when I looked over those numbers. I have lost 25 pounds and 23 inches in four years! I have maintained the same weight for over a year doing the Oxycise! routine three times a week and several breathing reps a day, often in the car.

"I began to wonder what size I would be if I hadn't discovered Oxycise??? Not a pleasant thought! This is the one thing that has worked for me. Thanks again for the program and support through the wonderful newsletter and helpful telephone representatives.

"Wishing everyone a happy and healthy spring!"

Jean from Massachusetts

No WEIGH?

"To weigh or not to weigh? That's the question.

"For people trying to lose weight, gain muscle, or just maintain a healthy weight, the scale can be both friend and foe. But experts say there's a right way and a wrong way to use the scale."

Here's advice on using the scale to your advantage: http://my.webmd.com/content/article/104/107541.htm

Recipe Ideas

Think green! Here's a salad combination for you to try:

Baby greens
Tomatoes
Raw nuts (a handful per serving)
Dried cranberries
Raisins
Small amount of grated Feta cheese
Optional: Grilled chicken

Dressing:
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
spoonful of dijon mustard
sprinkle of garlic powder
pepper to taste


OTHER SALAD TIPS:

If you have a favorite bottled salad dressing, but would like to reduce the fat content per serving, here's a trick for cutting the fat content in half.... just don't use twice as much dressing! ;-)

you can blend 1/4 cup of your dressing with 1/4 cup of fruit juice (for clear dressings) or fat free half and half (for creamy dressings).

Some bottled dressings taste better than others. Here are some favorites recommended by others:

Restaurant Style WishBone Raspberry Hazelnut Vinaigrette (80 calories, 5 g fat per 2 Tbsp)
Girard's Light Caesar (90 calories, 8 g fat per 2 tablespoons)
"Lighten Up" Newsman's Own Light Balsamic Vinaigrette (45 calories, 4 g fat per 2 tablespoons)

* For better nutrition choose darker green lettuce (such as romaine) or add spinach for your base and then add in some salad ingredients that add to the nutrient content (fruits, beans, shredded carrots, etc.)

* Raw nuts contain lots of nutritional value and "healthy" fats. They can add lots of crunch and flavor to salads. But use them sparingly since they're also high in calories.

* If you like blue cheese or feta cheese or parmesan cheese...you can add a sprinkle--a little goes a long way!
