"Thank you so much for Oxycise! I absolutely love it and am very pleased with my results in just one week! This is a plan I will use forever!" ~ Leslie

*A* "Why I Love Oxycise!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oxycise! customers tell why they love Oxycise!:

"My husband was looking at me last night and said, ' Wow! your abs and waist are really shrinking.' I've waited 8 years to hear him say that. There is no way I am giving up Oxycise! now or ever." ~ Tonya

"After the first few days of Oxycise! that my abdominal and buttock muscles were really sore! Oxycise! gives them a great workout -- better than the other exercises I have done. Since adding Oxycise! to my day just one week ago, I have lost 2" around my waist! It's much easier for me to hold those muscles in throughout the day, too."

"The best part is how wonderful I feel. The extra oxygen is energizing. The stretching positions feel wonderful. I'm hooked on Oxycise!" ~ Leslie

"I love Oxycise! My senior adult in-laws have been doing it and loving it and gave Oxycise! to me for Christmas. I have been doing it for 3 weeks and have gone down a size and a half. I just started Level 2 two days ago. Wow! This one I feel. I love it. Even the outdoor background in the video is peaceful. This has done more for shaping my body than aerobic dance ever has. Thank you so much." ~ Suzette

"Oxycise! will be in my life forever!" Love, Heidi

"I LOVE Oxycise! I've recommended it to four friends who have sent for the Level One tape. I just ordered the Level Two tape yesterday. I think this is one of the best exercise programs for people of every age!" ~ Jody

"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 [have] 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 'til 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! Thank you, thank you." ~ Lila from California

"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." ~ Jean, Florida

"I'm so caught up in the perils of entertaining three children that I'm always short on time. That's one of the main reasons why I'm so grateful for Oxycise! I never have to use lack of time as an excuse for not getting in a workout. Fifteen minutes can always be found to Oxycise!, no matter what else is going on." ~ Taja, New Jersey

"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. I shouldn't forget one of the best parts of Oxycise! -- how little time it takes. I'm a single mom of two who works full time and my time is precious. Oxycise! takes just 15 minutes a day and I feel like I get an excellent workout. So it's very time efficient."

"The inches are melting off! Every day I notice something different that I forgot I had.... I'm still shrinking! I love this stuff!!!!" ~ Cindy

"I have been doing Oxycise! for over a year now and am thrilled with the results.... It has made a difference in my life and I am so thankful." ~ Robbie

"Thanks to Oxycise! I was "forced" to go shopping today for new clothes (size 14 down from a 20!!!)...I feel better, I look better... Oxycise! gives a whole new meaning to the term "downsizing." I love my new clothes, I love Oxycise!, and most importantly, I really love my life." ~ Lisa

*** NANCY ***

(from our website OxyChat Message board)

"When I do Oxycise! twice a day I sleep like a log and I mean dead to the world! I cannot keep up that pace though, so I Oxycise! once a day and 3 times a week I add an extra tape, that way I don't burn out. I have a gazelle I use 4 times a week for variety so it keeps the week broken up a bit - but I always do my Oxycise! first.

"Have fun with your Oxycising! it is the best plan to lose weight and tone and to feel top notch!"

*** RITA ***

"I was one of those people who tried a lot of diets. I decided I was going to try this one, besides it's only 15 minutes. I did the Oxycise! and felt really great. After two weeks, I lost 2 inches off my waist and 1 inch off my thighs. I can say, I really love Oxycise! Not only because of the inches lost but the results I've seen in other areas. I sleep very well at night. I have less headaches. People have complimented on how vibrant I look. It gives me an energy boost in the morning and at the same time I feel good about myself. I really feel Oxycise! relaxes me. I am so excited about it that I have let my friends borrow the introduction video so that they may see for themselves. The best thing is that it is only 15 minutes. My sister and I are going to do the video during hour lunch hour! So, I want to tell everyone, that the main thing is to do the breathing properly because if it is not done right then you will not get the results. So, like Jill says....Keep on Breathin' "

"Dear Julie,
Thanks so much for helping me get the Oxychat news again. I have been doing Oxycise! for over a year and I have had great success. It is so very true that it works from the inside out. I could feel the difference in my muscle tone even before I could see the outward appearance of it. I love O! and I am very happy to have something that works without a big time or financial investment. I have dropped my membership in my health club, no need to throw away money!"

Yours in O!

Health Tip -- Go Nuts!

Great news! Nuts are actually GOOD for you and can help you lose weight? Think we've gone nuts? Read more about it at http://my.webmd.com/content/article/99/105423.htm

"For years, savvy dieters have shunned nuts because of their high-fat content. But dieters can rejoice. The heart-healthy fats, high fiber, and phytochemical content of nuts have catapulted these nutritious nuggets into health food heaven. The key is portion control.

"Over the past several years, numerous studies have shown the healthful nature of nuts. Nuts are a powerhouse of good nutrition, packed with protein, fiber, monounsaturated fats, vitamin E, folic acid, magnesium, copper, and antioxidants. And they help reduce the risks of heart disease and diabetes and help control weight."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A 1 oz serving of nuts contains between 160 and 200 calories, most of which come from the heart-healthy, monounsaturated fat.
The size of a 1 oz serving of nuts also varies depending on the type of nut. That's about 47 shelled pistachios, 30 peanuts, 24 almonds, 20 pecan halves or hazelnuts, and 14 walnut halves.

HEALTHY SNACK: Nutty-Butter Apples

I love apples! But I'm very picky about their texture; I don't like soft or mushy apples -- they have to be very firm and crisp.
I recently discovered a new variety of apple in our grocery store called "Cameo." I've been very pleased with their flavor and
texture.

Apples are great by themselves, but now and then it's nice to "decorate" them with a little peanut butter on top! Here's a quick and healthy snack I think you and your kids will enjoy....

Ingredients:
1-2 large crisp apples, cored and sliced
2 Tablespoons of peanut butter or other nut-butter (I prefer the natural kind, without hydrogenated oils) *
(Optional) 1/8 cup of flaxseeds, freshly ground
(Optional) 1-2 tsp. warm honey

Mix well, spread on each apple slice.
Top with raisins if desired.

Enjoy!

* About natural peanut butter: Most peanut butter has hydrogenated oil added to keep the product from separating at room temperature. I prefer to avoid hydrogenated oils ("trans fats") so I use "natural" peanut butter. My personal favorite is Adam's brand. A natural peanut butter will have the natural peanut oil floating on the top of the container, so you'll have to stir or mix it before using. The easiest way to do this, I have found, is the dump the entire contents of the jar into a large mixing bowl and then combine it with your electric mixer. It takes less than a minute, whereas stirring by hand takes much longer. Then return the peanut butter to its original jar and store it in the refrigerator -- you won't have to re-mix it as long as you keep it cool.

REMEMBER: You have a magnificent body. Treat it right!
