Hi, Nungie! I have all the Oxycise! tapes. Even if I can't do all the positions on a tape, I modify it and do the breathing. It does keep boredom away. I really believe in Oxycise! I recently returned to it, and have been getting in 10 minutes a day. Will work up to more as I progress. I find that it reduces pain in my leg, which I really cannot account for! But accept gratefully! I just go by the clock for the time. If I am doing a level one or so tape that goes fast, I log in as 15 minutes on the fitness tracker. If I am doing an easy does it tape I keep doing the breaths while Jill is explaining moves. So ten minutes goes by very fast and I just log in 10 minutes of Oxycise!. I try to get in 10 minutes in the morning, and 20 at night is my goal. Any other questions, feel free to ask.

Hi Nungie! Welcome to the team and welcome back to sparkpeople.
If you go to your side board on the right, you'll see a huddle link. It's just a way to say Hi to your team, a place to get and give support and encouragement.
Sorry about your foot. Ouch. I don't know oxycise, but I do BodyFlex and just tried Life Lift - they're very similar to each other. If you go to amazon.com you should be able to find different tapes.
Boredom is tough. Try to go to a zen state and just enjoy the relaxation, but it is hard sometimes. I think a variety of tapes would help.
Are you losing weight with oxycise? Hope your foot heals soon.

Hi!!
I'm new to the team - and back (again!) to Spark - hope I will stick with it this time -
What's HUDDLE??
Also - how do you count your Oxycise exercise minutes?
I have been doing oxycise since I broke my foot and can't do anything else! Although now i'm out of the boot and can start walking a little -
Is BodyFlex similar to Oxycise? Im getting pretty tired of the same tape every day - I'm just on level one - so maybe I should get a new one!
Thanks! Signy
