Book Reviews of Oxycise!
Book Review: Breathe deeply and burn away your fat
Summary: 5 Stars
OXYCISE! is an important tile in the breathing-based fitness mosaic. Jill Johnson, via her three-part packet of book, dvd and audio tape, describes, illustrates and praises a vigorous 15 minutes per day breathing workout.
Breathe in deeply and quickly from your diaphragm, inhale three last times, then exhale fast with three final puffs. Repeat four more times. That is the basic exercise. Do it in a total of five different postures and you are done for the day: 15 minutes. Ms Johnson gives many additional postures and stretches, so you will not be bored. At first my wife got dizzy trying this fast, constricted breathing and I myself had a nose bleed.
But it doesn't take long, and you soon have a simple routine that you can vary by sitting, standing or lying down. And for the rest of the day, when you think about your breathing during a boring staff meeting or Red Hats Ladies meeting, just do a slow, steady version of the above (without the final puffs or sucks) and expand your lung capacity beyond the pitiful 20% that most of us upper chest breathers have come to think of as normal.
And when you are routinely breathing at an enhanced 60% or 80% lung capacity, what are some good by-products?
First, you will be better at any sport that responds to deep breathing, e.g. treadmilling or even marathoning.
Second, you will add an extra dimension to your yoga, tai chi or other exercises.
And, thirdly, with the Hindus and Buddhists you can study whole sciences of breathing and meditation.
Fourthly, like her predecessor Pam Grout (JUMPSTART YOUR METABOLISM), Jill R. Johnson also claims that deep breathing on a regular basis will make you lose weight.
Why would that work? Because, both women argue, oxygen burns (oxygenates) fat stored in our bodies. The more oxygen we breathe in, therefore, the more and faster we remove fat from our cells. And exhaling sucks fats and other wastes out of our body. Johnson cites many satisfied customers: deep breathing -- fast or slow -- causes weight loss.
What's more: deep, systematic, diaphragmatic breathing costs nothing. Save the cost of running shoes, gym dues and heavy exercise equipment.
Hurrah! -OOO-
