Oxycise

Jill Johnson
Year Released: 1997

Categories: Instructional / How To Videos


Included in the set was:
~ Instructional Video
~ Level One Workout
~ 'Oxycise!' Book
~ Commuter Routine (on cassette)

The titles of the four items contained in the set pretty much describe what they are, so I won't go into detail about that.

I tried to like this workout. I WANTED to like it. But it just wasn't for me. I didn't find the breath complicated at all (I've read that some people do find it complicated and that's why they don't like O!). And it wasn't Jill (even though she's not 'my type' of instructor). It really was just the workout. I just couldn't 'get into' it.

I'm not saying this won't give you much of a workout though, because if you really push yourself you WILL feel it. It's one of those things where you only get out of it what you put into it (at least it was for me!). I do think, however, that if you prefer more active workouts (which involve movement rather that isometric contractions) then this maybe isn't for you. But if you want something short and sweet with no bouncing around then this could be for you.

Instructor Comments:
Jill seems nice enough. She seems very genuine and VERY down to earth. However, I like slightly (or very!) eccentric people more for fitness video's. More 'colourful' people. That's just my preference, and although Jill is much more bland in comparison with instrructors I like, I can't really say a bad word against her.
