Hello again,
My other question is about how to get the extra reps in throughout the day. Jill mentions (and I have seen others saying they do this) doing extra breaths while in line at the grocery store, etc. At home I wouldn't feel self-conscious and in the car (commuter routine) it's ok because I won't see those people again anyway. LOL But, how do you do oxycise while standing in line at the grocery store or other public places?? Again, thank you in advance for your help.

Sincerely,
im4kingdom

Hi I'm4kingdom,

When I do O out and about, I modify it, or my face would be RED !!!! I don't do any "exaggerated" breathing, instead I do make a point to breathing in deeply and pulling my stomach in, also I'm conscience of my posture. However, I don't do the extra puffs and sniffs or exhale forcefully. That's just me. It will be interesting to see what others say.

Also, I want to welcome you to Oxycise! We would love to have you post on the D2L section. It is where we give a lot of support to each other. It's been a little slow this summer, but it always picks up once school starts.

Have a blessed day.

Welcome from me, too, im4kingdom!!

I can't do Oxycise! in public. I would be entirely too self-conscious!! I'm not really good about taking in extra breaths throughout the day, but when I do...it's always at home.

I do try to take extra breaths when I make the mistake of eating too much at dinner, though. It always relieves that bloated, stuffed feeling.

Come post with us in the D2L (determined to lose) thread each day! There's usually only one thread over the weekend.

Yea I am sure if we did oxy breaths with gusto in public they would be ready to call the men in the white jackets on us!!

Hi imkingdom,

I personally do not feel comfortable Oxycising in public, however I have spoken to people who are fine getting extra breaths in line at the grocery store, etc. I try to get extra breaths in throughout the day while I am folding laundry, cooking dinner, working at the computer, etc.

Thank you all so much for your replies! I did the commuter routine today - twice : ) - and in traffic at that. It really helped me to stay calm and feel a lot less stressed! Thank you again! Your suggestions and answers have really helped. : ) : )
