I have a question that perhaps those who do Oxycise! can answer.

I'm a big fan of deep, full, abdominal breathing, with or without the poses or muscle toning exercises. However, I've noticed that whenever I do that sort of breathing, not long after I either feel as though I'm about to come down with a cold, or I actually *do* come down with one.

Has anyone else noticed this, or is it just me?

Hmmm...that's interesting. Actually, for me it's quite the opposite. In the 5+ years I've been doing Oxycise!, I've probably only had 2 or 3 full-blown colds. My sinuses give me a lot of trouble, but that's seasonal and something I've lived with for years.

Welcome to the message board, RayJeena. I hope you are able to continue and will join us posting each day.

Hi, Kelly!

Thanks for your input! Maybe it is an allergy thing with me as well, I don’t know. I never considered myself as having allergies, but it would make sence, since with the more energetic forms of breathing I’m taking in more of whatever’s in the air at the moment (along with the oxygen), and it's irritating my respiratory system somehow as a result. I’ll just be sure to have Cold-Eeze or Zicam on hand to prevent any colds from actually forming!
