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

Question and Answer session with Jill Johnson:

KIM: I just bought your Oxycise! program. I'm 34 and am in good shape despite being about 10 lbs. overweight. I'm a professional lady and do not have a lot of time to exercise. With your program, I would like to tone and lose weight with real results. I know these are a lot of questions, but I find the science behind the oxygenation fascinating. I know this product works and I have to be diligent. Thank you for bringing it to the public for its natural health benefits! I look forward to practicing your program and hearing from you soon!

JILL: Hi Kim, Congratulations on your dedication to your health. Oxycise! is the right road map to healthy and permanent weight loss.

KIM: I have been doing the Body Flex program for about a month, faithfully, without any real significant results. Will your program be better for me and will it still work even though I've done the Body Flex?

JILL: I believe it is better, and I receive emails and phone calls daily from people just like you who are achieving results. -- Be sure and use a lot of enthusiasm/gusto when you do the breathing. (Don't try to be too feminine.) Remember, really pumping the oxygen through your body is the key. If you're interested in optimum results, you may enjoy some of the supplementary products described below.

KIM: I also have some other questions if you don't mind answering them. How many times a day should one do the program?

JILL: Just once a day will fit into most everyone's lifestyle AND help you achieve motivating results. However, if you're the "over-achieving" type, feel free to do it two or three times a day -- It's absolutely safe and you will speed your results if you choose to do it more. Don't only "go through the motions" but breathe intensely and flex and contract your muscles with effort.

KIM: Does one have to do the program on an empty stomach?

JILL: No. It does not appear to be a factor. In fact, if you ever overeat or feel stuffed or bloated, do Oxycise! and you will get things moving in that area.

KIM: How long do you think it will take me to lose about 10 lbs. on your program? (I do watch my diet.)

JILL: Two months should be very reasonable. Three months maximum. A lot of people are able to reduce 10 lbs. within 4 to 6 weeks. The key is the oxygen. If you're interested in speed, you should check out the Oxycise! books ("Oxycise!", "Fuel for Success", and "Chart Your Success") and the Commuter Routine audiotape.

One of the books is "Fuel for Success". This will also be a great benefit to you. This book is the product of a lot of research on nutrition. It is not a "diet" book. It is the way my family eats. Once again, the result is that if you nourish your body with its Number #1 Fuel: Oxygen, and also give your body plenty of oxygen-rich food, it will get rid of all the excess baggage currently being stored as fat. More than likely, you will also notice many other health benefits happen also.

If you incorporate everything I have in print, you will never struggle with weight again. Everyone who follows the Oxycise! lifestyle achieves results. You can choose how precisely you want to follow the methods and principles. For example, last summer I received reports from 3 women who all had achieved different results -- and each of them had put different amounts of focus and care into their efforts. Within the 3 months, one lost 11 pounds, one lost 25 pounds, one lost 40 pounds! Each of them were excited, because they went at their own rate. The decision is up to you.

Kim, you have the power to master your body from the inside out. All it takes is following the right road map. Oxycise! is the right road map. It feels good, it makes common sense, and it works!

As always, all Oxycise! products are 100% guaranteed, and you may return them within 30 days for a full refund.

*** KATHY ***

"I wasn't doing the breathing right"

"I have multiple sclerosis and find that Oxycise! is the only exercise program I can follow. My benefits are like the others, better sleep, but also more flexibility (I have spasticity in my right hip and leg), much more energy, better moods, clearer thinking, better concentration and better control of other parts of my body that my MS affects. It also seems to keep my appetite down to a more normal range and greatly decreases my insane cravings for sweets. I got these tapes over a year ago and never did them right or consistently. Then in late Sept. I made up my mind to give them another try and to make it count. That's when I figured out that I wasn't doing the breathing right. The other benefits I mentioned became apparent immediately and were enough to keep me hooked for life. Now on top of all the other great stuff, I've lost 13 pounds in about 13 weeks and several inches!"

*C* Oxycise! Q & A
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"How do you know if you're breathing right? Is there a special feeling or some way I can tell?"

The inhale should feel deep and peaceful and relaxed... like taking a drink of cool, refreshing water. The air should enter deep into your lungs and your abdominal muscles (your tummy) should be totally relaxed. As you inhale deeply and fully, let your tummy expand freely. The air doesn't actually enter your stomach -- it's just pushing down on the abdominal cavity a little as it fills your lungs. If you put your hands on the sides of your waist, just under your ribcage, you should be able to feel the expansion as your lungs fill.

Right after the inhale you should tighten and "Lift" your abs. This is very similar to the muscle contraction in your abdomen that happens automatically when you cough or sneeze. The difference with Oxycise! is that we want you to learn to control it and be able to maintain it. You might try "faking" a cough and see if you can identify the muscles that contract. Doing this several times may help you discover how to relax and then tighten these muscles. You should work to maintain the muscle contraction throughout the 3 sniffs, exhale and 3 extra puffs. Then relax the contraction for the next inhale.


"I'm having problems taking in 3 sniffs while my abdominal muscles are tight."

This is totally normal -- and it's supposed to be difficult! It's hard to take in extra air when your abdominal muscles are tight -- that's why you don't want to tighten up during your inhales. But after the inhale you don't need a lot of extra air because your lungs should already be full. What you are doing is just trying to "top them off" a tiny bit. Your abdominal muscles are actually working against the power of your diaphragm as you try to take in some extra sniffs. That's what makes this step a great toning exercise for the abs!


"I don't have any air left after the exhale to do 3 extra puffs... should I take in a little more air before the puffs?"

No, don't take in extra air at this time. The whole purpose of this step is to TRY to do 3 more puffs, even if your lungs feel totally empty. In fact you should try to completely empty your lungs on the exhale -- don't try to "save" air for the 3 puffs. When you feel like you don't have any air left after the exhale, then try to do just 3 little tiny puffs. This makes your abdominal muscles have to tighten to try to squeeze a little more air out. Another great ab toner!

*A* Is Oxycise! Really All You Need To Do?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“My husband thinks I am crazy saying Oxycise! is the only exercise I need to do. He says I have to do something to get my heart rate up as the professionals say, and to do strength training. Oxycise! does these things, doesn't it? Is there a place on the website that explains these?

Thanks,

Vicky

Hi Vicky,

My husband used to say the same things -- that is until we went to Africa to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro a couple years ago, and he was the one waiting at camp while I was the one who made it to the summit. He goes to the gym every day and does weights, runs a few miles, and plays tennis. In fact, the same thing happened when I hiked to Base Camp on Mt. Everest with 2 of my college kids -- and then a year ago, when I summitted Mt. Kilimanjaro the second time (taking three college kids), he didn't even bother trying.

Don't think that because I chose to climb some amazing mountains that I do
any special training. All I do is Oxycise! In fact, my husband laughs and tells friends the story of how the week before I was going to climb Kilimanjaro the first time I started to have second thoughts about my fitness capacity, so I ran up and down our two flights of stairs about 20 times one day for my official "training." That was it. I don't do any other training, though I do enjoy recreational activities with my family from time to time.

The truth is, Oxycise! does increase your heart rate. You can test it yourself. We've done studies at universities with Oxycise! being compared to riding a stationary bicycle, and every time the heart rate is shown to increase into the typical workout levels.

Remember, that when you do traditional exercise, such as jogging, your heart rate doesn't beat faster because your legs are moving. It beats faster because you are trying to deliver more oxygen throughout your body to accommodate the oxygen-debt you've created -- so you breathe faster and deeper, and then your heart pumps faster to deliver the oxygen through your circulatory system. This has been termed as "aerobic" exercise -- delivering oxygen to your body.

We have found that you don't need to bounce up and down in order to become
"aerobic" -- you can have the same benefits by breathing powerfully and combining it with isometric and isotonic exercise.

In fact, when at the University of Southern California Exercise Science Lab a few years ago, the director (out of curiosity) hooked me up to their exercise measurement equipment -- which, by the way, is an oxygen mask hooked up to machines to measure your respiration. He was astonished at my lung capacity, and told me that he never sees that kind of capacity except in professional swimmers.

Remember to Oxycise! with lots of power and gusto.

If you are concerned about strength training, feel free to add wrist and ankle weights as you Oxycise! Another side note -- I recently had a bone density test and was informed that my bone density was equal to that of a teenage girl.

I've been doing Oxycise! for over 20 years and am healthy, strong and have vibrant health.

Best wishes and keep on breathin'

Jill

*** Charlene ***

Just wanted to thank you Jill for your program. I've been on Oxycise! for 4 months and have lost 40lbs and 9 1/2 inches just off my waist.

My mom is 78 and not able to stand and do the exercise but has still lost from
sitting and lying while exercising.

I have a ways to go but feel sure I will reach my goal if I stick with it.

Thanks again,

Charlene from Florida

*C* OxyTIPS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As mentioned in previous newsletters, the "Pelvic Tilt" position, taught in Level 1, is a great way to practice doing the breathing correctly. In this position, you simply lay on your back, with your knees bent and feet on the floor. As you exhale you should "scoop" in with your abdominal muscles and think of pressing your lower back toward the floor. (Be sure to relax your abdominal muscles when you inhale!)

Velda from Utah writes:


"I just wanted to say I find the laying down basic tilt the best position (for me) to really feel the Lift and work on it. I do the Level II workout and after its over, I just lay there, breathing in the Basic Tilt while reviewing the positions. This trains me to "Lift" properly, reminds me of good form for the positions, and gets me several minutes of extra Oxycise! breathing!"

FLEX THOSE MUSCLES!!!

When you do a workout, don't just stand there and copy the body positions --
Stretch, flex and really FEEL your muscles working!

The more energy you add -- to the breathing AND the positions -- the better
your results will be!

With summer coming and temperatures getting warmer, it's the perfect season for cold, refreshing fruit smoothies! All you need is juice, fruit, and your blender to make homemade smoothies that your whole family will love!

Here's my own favorite smoothie recipe. It's great any time of the day -- breakfast, lunch, dinner, or as a healthy snack.

1 cup (or more) of fresh-squeezed orange juice (or a combination of orange and grapefruit)
1/2- 1 banana, frozen and broken into chunks
1/2 - 3/4 cup of frozen berries (blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, or combination)

100% frozen orange juice, reconstituted, will work fine in place of fresh-squeezed. Sometimes I add a 1/4-cup of freshly ground flaxseed for extra fiber and nutrition.

Experiment with different fruits, juices, and proportions. By adding more frozen fruit or banana, you can make a thicker smoothie, more like a sherbet or sorbet.

If you come up with any great combinations, let us know!
