Since I have been "O"ing for about 2 weeks, noticed that my PMS has decreased greatly and my regular periods which tend to be extremely heavy and painful w/extreme bloating is almost nonexistent. Does "O"ing provide benefits like this? I know it has help my blood pressure and resting heart rate, but this is really strange and I was just wondering if you give me some insight. Thanks Angie

We talked about this recently so you might find something if you do a search. I don't remember all that was said but yes, I have had real improvement as well in this area.

Hi Angie....welcome to Oxycise!

Come join us in the D2L (determined to lose) O!Pals thread each day. Oxycise usually helps ease my PMS and TOM....especially when I get cramps.

Hi Angie,
I'm Julie, assistant to Jill Johnson.

There is definitely a connection between Oxycise! and PMS improvement.

We have received quite a few comments (see below) from other women who say their PMS symptoms have improved or even disappeared since doing Oxycise! We aren't sure why, but we are very happy that our customers are experiencing these benefits. We really do believe that Oxycise! is good for every cell in the body...

Thanks for writing and telling us about your results!

Keep in touch,
Julie
Oxycise! Staff

Lorna G. writes:
"...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!)."

Vivian J. writes:

"Body feels tighter and stronger. I have more energy and feel more optimistic about things in general. Resting heart rate is down an average of 5-10 bpm. PMS was a little less awful this month (although I may finally be hitting menopause. Yaaay!)."

*************************************

Lori M. shared:
"Other Benefits of Oxycise: Increased energy, less mood swings and moodiness, much more patient with kids and husband, increased self esteem and image, much better flexibility, better performance in other forms of exercise (I do jazzercize now too), easy to do at home with/without kids, doesn't cost anything, and eases PMS symptoms. Whew!! I didn't realize how long the list would be!"

"Several of my Oxycising friends and I have even noticed that our PMS symptoms have virtually disappeared as a result of using the tapes! (I know the men in our lives thank you for that!)"

Suzanne M. writes:
"I started to "O" in January 1999. Seven times a week for a minimum of 30 minutes each time. I'm 41, in excellent shape, very athletic, kind of 'health nut', no kids and plenty of time to bike ...

"The benefits:
* No more pain in my articulations and in my muscles.
* No more PMS. No more mood-swing. No more "blues".
* My self-esteem has never been so high.
* I don't see life as a burden. Every day is a challenge.
* I've got energy like I never never had before.
* Gives me the courage and the willpower I need to work out.

"I never got these feelings from working out 7 times a week."

(later comments from Suzanne M.)

"My period actually 'sneaked up on me' a few days ago; I don't keep any calendar for that because my PMS symptoms always give me plenty of notice when my period is coming. This month I didn't have any of that bloated or tired out feeling I usually get."

I have noticed that when I Oxycise consistently, it seems to reduce my appetite. That's a great benefit! I have gained much more flexibility than other stretching exercises. The weight loss for me is very, very gradual. It seems like absolutely nothing happens for me as far as inch loss is concerned, and then suddenly I can measure a month's worth of progress all in one day. This is a good thing to keep in mind for those who don't see immediate results. Also, the symptoms of PMS are not as severe when I Oxycise. Good luck with the program, it works.
