NY Giants Win Superbowl! (With a little help...)

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 18:04:00 GMT

NFL Champions, the New York Giants Inhale their way to victory. With the Super Bowl barely behind us, the excitement buzzing across the east coast is still palpable. A big ticker tape parade in New York City, and probably a one way ticket to the hall of fame for Eli Manning. We saw the game and thought it was thrilling too, but what really caught our attention was the action on the sidelines…

Mario Manningham may have made the iconic catch of the Super Bowl, but did you see him sucking down oxygen between downs? We counted at least four players in the game that went for the mask between plays or on offense switching. Most often it was just a large defensive lineman who had been asked to work a little too hard on the previous play; but with a couple deep breaths, his aerobic recovery is accelerated and he is ready to go.

Indeed oxygen has been a part of football since the 1950’s, and if you don’t believe it, check out the picture of these ancient warriors sucking down some O₂. For most players, it wouldn’t be football without some quality time with an oxygen mask. A few breaths of concentrated oxygen are the best remedy for over-exertion and the quickest way to return the athlete to the game. And it’s not just football, either; athletes like Novak Djokovich have taken to hyperbaric chambers for even more complete oxygenation. Novak oxygenates his body prior to a tennis match for increased endurance. A tactic that obviously worked well for him in the recent Australian Open where he prevailed against Rafael Nadal in the longest men’s final in tennis history!

There’s no denying that exercise and diet go hand-in-hand for a healthy lifestyle. Add to that a jet of oxygen every once in a while and you’ll find yourself relaxed, rejuvenated and refreshed all at once. And if you’re an athlete, you may also find an edge in your next competition.

Waiting to₂ Inhale!! is often a fixture at local foot or bike races, and even marathons where we wait patiently to help athletes as they pant across the finish line. If you are a race director or sports event planner, give us a call at 973-981-7479/ (888)296-1162 and see how we can breathe some life and fun into your event.

How to Find Stress Relief From Your Yearly Holiday Beat Down

Tue, 06 Dec 2011 05:25:00 GMT

Holidays are meant to relax. But do you find yourself stressed, beat up and low on energy? You aren’t alone. From shopping and tree trimming to parties and over-eating; the holidays, especially for New Yorkers leave many of us feeling rundown, anxiety-ridden and just plain…bloated!

Unfortunately, most of us reach for easy “solutions” for stress relief, which actually end up making matters worse. Instead of healthy options, harried holiday merrymakers use booze, food or one too many pain-relief medications to combat holiday fatigue. Yes, of course, a glass of wine or a box of chocolates gives temporary relief but the after-effects leave you feeling even worse.

Take our advice—the minute you feel that horrible tension rising in your shoulders and neck, resist the automatic reaction to grab a glass of Pinot! Instead, head to a relaxing oxygen bar for a true release.

Drag your weary, holiday beaten bones into Waiting to2 Inhale!! for an awe-inspiring awakening. The experience of combining breathing exercises with the delightful, bubbly sensation of oxygen inhalation will provide stress relief and restore your vitality and enthusiasm for the holidays.

Strung out on holiday cheer? Waiting to₂ Inhale!! has a fun, unique, safe and highly effective way to bump up your energy over the holidays. Call us today at 973-981-7479/(888)296-1162.

Social Oxygen — Refresh, Renew, Regenerate Your Mind and Body!

Tue, 29 Nov 2011 13:32:00 GMT

The social oxygen experience can be far “sexier” and healthier than gathering the gang to hit the nightclubs or an afternoon at the gym. Deep inhalation of oxygen floods your system with purified, hydrated oxygen. Increased oxygen levels have been used therapeutically for decades to reduce and relieve a smattering of ailments and as part of post-operative recovery.

BUT…you have no ailments or health problems. So, can inhaling oxygen do something for YOU? Absolutely! From school kids to their moms, to athletes, corporate employees with stressful careers, professionals, frequent business travelers, party animals who suffer lack of sleep and frequent hangovers—all these individuals and more enjoy the benefits of social oxygen. It’s the new way of “healthy partying”!

How does social oxygen contribute to a healthy lifestyle?

Waiting to₂ Inhale!! makes no medical claims about oxygen therapy; however, our social oxygen users consistently report feeling relaxed, recharged and refreshed after only one session. That’s why they keep coming back for more! Corporate clients, lawyers, chiropractors, dentists, sports enthusiasts and just everybody who tastes social oxygen can’t seem to get enough of it!

Richard Gere's guitar collection to be auctioned by Christie's, NY

Tue, 30 Aug 2011 13:01:00 GMT

Richard Gere is a man of many interests. Besides oxygen bars, few knew of his interest in guitars, let alone music. In the long line of actors who are also musicians, Richard Gere does not necessarily make the list. But the actor's personal collection of guitars is expected to sell for $1 million anyway, when presented at an auction by Christie's, New York on Oct. 11th. Gere, best known for his rolls in An Officer and a Gentleman and Pretty Women, acquired over time the collection of guitars with marquee names such as C.F. Martin, Gibson, Fender, Gretsch and Epiphone, as well as a selection of amplifiers, and iconic guitars that belonged to Albert King, Peter Tosh and James D'Aquisto. “I’ve had a love affair with guitars since I was a kid," Gere said in a release. "They have been my true friends through the best and worst of times. I never planned to put together a collection, I just bought ones that I liked, the ones that sounded good and played well." The collection was under-wraps until now.

The New York Times "None for Me. I am Driving." By Campbell Robertson

Mon, 11 Jul 2011 07:53:00 GMT

As soon as RICHARD GERE pulled his teenage stepdaughter, HANNAH DUNNE, to his side, CAREY LOWELL swooped in and snatched the Diet Coke and aluminum takeout container out of her hand.

"We had to stop for food on the way over here," Mr. Gere explained.

What's the big deal? A little nosh on the red carpet never hurt anybody.

We were at the Metropolitan Pavilion for, let's get this right, Organic Elegance: An Evening of Organic Ambiance, World Music and Holistic Elegance, benefiting the Continuum Center for Health and Healing at the Beth Israel Medical Center. Somehow, we guess, the Diet Coke did not fit in.

Then again, the man who attracted most of the celebrities was the executive director of the center, DR. WOODSON C. MERRELL, or Woody to his patients. We were eager to meet a respected practitioner of alternative medicine who goes by Woody, a bit like meeting a poststructuralist literary critic named Rusty. But who are we to judge? He has needles.

"Woody, I've known him forever," Mr. Gere said. "I also took him to India a few years ago, where he met the Tibetan Community."

Ms. Lowell, wearing a low-cut plum top and pinstriped pants, interrupted. "Let's go to the oxygen bar, honey," she said.

"Oop, got to go," Mr. Gere said.

After cocktail hour - oxygen hour? air hour? - we sat at dinner with Dr. Merrell, a tall bespectacled man, as well as ED BURNS, a pregnant CHRISTY TURLINGTON, and DONNA KARAN, who is into kabbalah and also wants to go skiing soon. SARAH McLACHLAN performed, turning the crowd, and particularly Mr. Burns and Ms. Turlington, into a purée of romantic goo.

TOM FRESTON was honored with a large gold Buddha.

But we are getting ahead of ourselves. Let us return to the red carpet and to ANDRÉ BALAZS, whom we were asking how involved he had become in Buddhism since dating UMA THURMAN.

"I pay attention to it," he said. "I went to hear the DALAI LAMA yesterday."

Did you meet him?

"I did meet him," Mr. Balazs said. "As I was leaving, we were backstage, he did something very surprising. He gave me a slap on the back, like, 'Go young man.' It was touching. I don't know why."

Mr. Balazs was leaving the party to have dinner with his father, but first he said hello to Ms. Thurman's mother, NENA VON SCHLEBRÜGGE.

Ms. von Schlebrügge, a former model, has been busy as secretary of the Tibet House (her husband, ROBERT THURMAN, is the board president). But we had had our fill of conversations about the Dalai Lama. We were more interested in Ms. von Schlebrügge's past life, namely, her marriage to TIMOTHY LEARY.

"Many years ago, for a very short period of time, but nobody seems to forget it," Ms. von Schlebrügge said.

What attracted you to Mr. Leary?

"My father was 25 years older than my mother; I was attracted to older men," she said. "My father died when I was 13. So I had a typical classical father complex. But after spending one year with Timothy Leary, I think I was permanently cured."

Do you think that he took advantage of the fact that you were so young?

"Well, he probably did, he was a physiologist," she said. "He was trained to look at people, and he did. But he was very gregarious and full of life. He was a very intelligent, fun person. He was always looking for the meaning of life. I don't know if he found it."

She spoke of her own search for the meaning of life, of her introduction to Buddhism and the questions it answered. Whereupon we brought up Mr. Balazs.

"I hear very good things about him from other people," Ms. von Schlebrügge said. "And myself, I think he is awfully nice.

What about as a son-in-law?

"I don't think my daughter is interested in getting married."

You know, the Dalai Lama did pat him on the back.

"The Lama is very psychic," she said. "It's a good sign."
