But there are more gentle methods that help you get in shape while only improving your health, and one of them is bodyflex with Marina Korpan. The complex takes only 15 minutes , but it gives amazing results.
General information
Bodyflex is an intensive weight loss program. The secret lies in deep diaphragmatic breathing, which bodyflex teaches, thanks to which the blood is actively saturated with oxygen, lymph flow improves, metabolism accelerates and fats are burned.
The bodyflex technique (BodyFlex translated from English body - “body”, flex - “pull up”, bodyflex - “flexible body”) is breathing exercises aimed at losing weight. She is unique in that she always gives results. Even people who are obese due to hormonal imbalances and metabolic disorders receive results from this program. Bodyflex classes do not require physical training and are suitable for both women and men. With the help of a simple set of exercises, even the most unsportsmanlike person can easily get into shape.
The most popular technique recently has been the bodyflex program with Marina Korpan, which has already helped thousands of people throughout the country and abroad to lose weight and improve their health.
Indications for use
The benefits of various breathing exercises techniques have already been proven and supported by many examples.
Exercise really does improve your health and help you lose weight. They also activate the following processes:
- improved digestion;
- control over hunger;
- strengthening the immune system;
- increase in energy charge.
Breathing exercises (bodyflex for weight loss) should be done regularly. If you devote at least 10-15 minutes a day to breathing exercises, it will give visible results. The weight will decrease and stay off for a long time.
Benefits for digestion
Stable weight loss or fat formation directly depends on the rate of fermentation of food into energy. In this mechanism, a significant function is played by the amount of oxygen that enters the body. If it is not enough, metabolism will be slow, which means fats will be broken down more slowly.
It should be noted that breathing exercises are especially valuable for women over 40 years old, because the body undergoes transformations and the metabolism slows down, which bodyflex for weight loss helps to avoid.
Therefore, age contributes to the appearance of excess weight, in some cases even diets and exercise become powerless. But mastering breathing techniques slows down the aging process, since a sufficient amount of oxygen enters the body.
Cleansing the body
Breathing exercises increase the ability to actively remove toxins from the body. 65-75% of harmful substances are converted into gases and exhaled with proper breathing.
History of origin
This discipline originated in 1985 in America. The author of the technique is Greer Childers, a housewife and mother of 3 children. I had problems with being overweight and tried unsuccessfully to lose weight through diets and going to the gym. I got back into shape with the help of bodyflex training. She lost weight from a size 56 to a size 44 through breathing exercises and began helping other people by organizing group classes. After 6 years, the technique migrated to the CIS countries, where it gained popularity among lovers of “easy weight loss.”
Who is Marina Korpan
Even as a child, the girl had problems with being overweight, but as she grew older, the thought of losing weight often visited her. I tried different methods of weight correction: dangerous extreme diets, exercise in the gym. One day this all led her to a hospital bed.
After recovery, Marina began to show interest in breathing exercises for bodyflex weight correction, and then she turned her attention to the oxysize technique. Practicing these types of gymnastics helped improve health, lose weight, and tone muscles.
Now Marina Korpan is a professional instructor of weight loss techniques that are based on breathing. Total teaching experience is 17 years.
Marina is the author of books about losing weight using breathing exercises, hosts television programs, and participates in radio broadcasts.
Marina Korpan also took part in the scientific conference of the Russian State University of Physical Culture, where she made a report on the topic “The Bodyflex System and its effectiveness.” She founded the first center in Russia where they teach breathing exercises for weight loss.

Bodyflex with Marina Korpan
The training combines Bodyflex and pranayama. Maria is not a supporter of diets or radical changes in diet. However, you need to work on your eating habits. For example, stop eating in a hurry and on the go. You need to eat slowly and only as much as you need to satisfy your hunger. If you use a teaspoon, this will not allow you to exceed the calorie allowance. Other types of physical activity are not recommended. You can miss no more than three classes.
Fat cells oxidize only in the presence of oxygen, hence the expression “fat burns.” If you remember traditional high-intensity style training, you can understand why this technique is so effective, because the load is present, and nothing interferes with the flow of air. In the case of normal load, when working in the hall, air flows with difficulty and there is always not enough of it.
You can verify this yourself by familiarizing yourself with the basic principles of Maria’s method, which will allow you to choose the right nutrition program and lose weight without discomfort or discomfort. The technique combines the achievements of modern scientific and technological progress and medical research, as well as the experience of Maria Korpan.
The benefits of breathing exercises for losing belly fat
Despite its simplicity, the method of proper breathing is extremely effective for losing belly fat. Professionals note a number of beneficial properties of this type of training.
The main ones include the following:
- Normalizes blood circulation , which, in turn, ensures adequate nutrition and functioning of all organs and systems of the body.
- Stimulates metabolism , increases the volume of incoming nutrients.
- Creates an alkaline environment , increases the rate of conversion of food into energy, and activates the process of destroying fats.
- Frees the body from toxic substances in the fat layer, converting them into gases and facilitating their release to the outside with heat.
- Provides a person with vitality.
- Strengthens the immune system.
- Reduces the amount of stress hormones, restores calm.
- Reduces hunger.
Contraindications to breathing exercises
Not everyone can do gymnastics, because this method helps to increase blood pressure and activity of the heart muscle. People with arrhythmia, people with high intracranial pressure, hernias and myopia should not practice bodyflex. Also dangerous are diseases of the central nervous system and asthma. Bodyflex is contraindicated for pregnant women, during exacerbation of chronic diseases, and in the postoperative period.
Dizziness is a normal reaction of the body to oxygen entering the blood.
Bodyflex technique
- The basis is breathing, which involves the diaphragm.
- Aerobics is a set of exercises aimed at stretching and toning muscles.
- Fitness is a set of active exercises and nutritional rules that do not disrupt the usual rhythm of life.
It’s easy to master the breathing style; after doing it several times, the body will get used to it. Take a starting position: place your feet shoulder-width apart, place your palms slightly above your kneecaps. Assume the position of a person who is trying to sit down.
Pursing your lips into a tube, slowly exhale the air from your lungs, and then quickly inhale it back through your nose. Exhale by opening your mouth wide. Close your mouth and pull your stomach in as much as possible. This is a very useful exercise, because in addition to pumping the abdominal muscles and tightening the skin, it also performs an internal massage of the stomach.
After a couple of sessions, digestion noticeably improves! In people suffering from breathing problems, air circulation and oxygen transport to tissues improves.

What is Oxycise
The Oxysize technique involves special breathing while holding a static pose. It guarantees a large excess of oxygen in the blood, which activates fat burning and metabolism.
Breathing oxysize
- Take a deep, extended breath through the nose; the stomach fills with air and protrudes forward; assurance - 3 abrupt “dow breaths”. There should be a smile on the face during the process;
- A long exhalation through the mouth, ending with 3 short “pre-exhalations”, the air completely leaves the lungs, the stomach retracts as much as possible and “sticks to the back.” In the process, the lips should be stretched into a flat “smile”, and not the usual tube.
Bodyflex exercises for beginners
"Diamond". After completing the breathing exercise, bring your palms together in front of you. In this case, the shoulders should be straightened, and the forearms should be in the same plane with the floor. Tension should be felt in the chest and arm muscles.
"Boat". The starting position is sitting on the floor, legs apart. The back is slightly tilted back, the hands are resting on the floor behind the back. After completing the breathing exercise, stretch forward while keeping your back straight.
"Cat". Starting position – standing on all fours. The back is clearly parallel to the floor. After completing the breathing exercise, bend your back upward as if you were hanging on a hook. Then return to the starting position.
If you have already been involved in sports before, it will be easier for you to adapt to the loads and your recovery will go faster. Aerobic exercise in the form of jogging, swimming, and cycling will only speed up the results.
Bodyflex video lessons with Marina Korpan
Lesson 1. Principles of breathing techniques
This video lesson talks about breathing techniques, support, and correct posture. It is important to learn this lesson, because proper breathing eases the load on the heart and blood vessels, and oxygen in a normal dose will allow you to more quickly oxidize fatty acids that are released into the blood during exercise.
Lesson 2. Abdominal exercises
In this video series we are talking about the abdominal muscles (rectus, oblique, internal, which keep our organs from falling out, even when we don’t remember about them). The technique of correct diaphragmatic breathing is studied. You should not hold your breath for more than 10 seconds from the very first lesson, as this will negatively affect the functioning of the heart. Train your lungs gradually.
If you eat before training, you may feel nauseous.
Lesson 3. Lose weight in leg muscles
More complex exercises involving the muscles and ligaments of the legs, buttocks, and calves. You need to move on to these cycles only when you have mastered the previous two lessons.
Lesson 4. Bodyflex for face and neck
A simpler training program that is aimed at tightening the facial muscles, burning fat in the cheeks, neck, and chin. The basis of the lesson is the “Lip Slap” exercise, which consists of moving the jaws, which tightens the facial muscles and makes them elastic.
Those who have osteochondrosis of the cervical or thoracic spine, kyphosis or lordosis should approach training with extreme caution.
How does bodyflex work for weight loss?
Many people do not believe that bodyflex effectively helps to lose weight. After all, as Greer Childers advises, you only need to exercise for 15-20 minutes a day. In addition, the exercises are incredibly simple and do not require special physical training. First of all, bodyflex is good for the waist and abdomen. Naturally, it’s worth asking those who have experienced the technique themselves, and reviews of bodyflex are almost all positive.
Let's look at how bodyflex works for weight loss. As stated above, oxygen is an important participant in the process of burning fat deposits. When performing the techniques, belly breathing is used. The air is retained for 8-10 seconds. Strength exercises combined with this method of breathing give an amazing effect. The arteries dilate and the cells are intensively saturated with oxygen. The main thing in this matter is regularity.
If you perform a set of bodyflex exercises every day for just 15-20 minutes, the result will be noticeable after 2 weeks of training. The most difficult thing is to learn how to breathe correctly with your stomach. Thanks to this breathing, bodyflex for losing belly fat is so effective.
For pregnant
This technique is not suitable for pregnant women, because it can provoke an attack of hypoxia and a lack of oxygen for the fetus, and tone the uterus. During breathing exercises, the diaphragm tenses and puts pressure on the uterus, which can result in smooth muscle tone, which is dangerous for the mother and fetus. An alternative to bodyflex for pregnant women would be:
- yoga for pregnant women
- oxygen gymnastics oxysize.
- swimming
In any case, train under the guidance of an experienced trainer.
Bodyflex or Oxysize
If you want to increase the elasticity of your body through systematic training and are able to exercise on an empty stomach, your choice is bodyflex. It will tone your muscles and make your figure slim. Spend at least 15 minutes every day, and at the same time, do not exercise for more than 25 minutes.
If you don’t like time limits and have a hard time with hunger, an oxysize is suitable, which does not have a strict time frame and provides a light snack before classes. There are practically no contraindications for oxysize (provided you avoid holding your breath and overexertion).
Reviews about the oxysize technique
On the Internet you can find conflicting reviews about the oxisize system; in total, three points of view stand out.
- Those who show good results lose weight by several sizes or show a large minus on the scales.
- Those who tried Bodyflex first and then switched to Oxysize. Usually such people note that the second exercise is more difficult, but more effective. Or they recommend both methods, combining them.
- Those who did not get any effect from the classes may be due to a reluctance to learn the correct technique or simply not adhering to a diet and healthy lifestyle.
Conclusion: oxysize training is not for everyone. It is recommended to master the breathing technique and practice it for at least a week or two, and then evaluate the effect obtained. If you don't have one, you might want to change your system and try something new.
Oxysize training results
- The most spectacular results are shared by those who have recently given birth to a child. New mothers call this “salvation for caesarean tummies.” The effect of oxysize is really good: up to minus 12 cm at the waist.
- There are also positive effects for those who are not involved in childbearing: in a month they lost up to 15 kg of excess fat.
- There are reviews in which women boast that they lost 100 grams of weight in just 20 minutes of exercise. Or they talk about how their hips have shrunk by 7 cm in a week.
- However, there are also opposite results. Some did not get any effect from the training at all, others lost minus 1 kg and slightly tightened their stomach.
