Technique

These components make this Life Lift exercises similar to some yoga workouts. The exercises require you to flex and stretch body parts in tune with your breathing. During all breaths you will breathe out most of the air in your lungs, which requires nearly constant work from the abdominal region.
Types
In addition to the original Life Lift exercise program, Life Lift also features its "Oxygen Zoo" workout video.

Considerations

While there are testimonials on the website, there are no before and after pictures from successful clients. The Life Lift company does not provide a guarantee of any kind for purchase of its workout program. There are also no research or evidence that proves the effectiveness of any Life Lift program.
