Slim in 6 - Slim Down and Tone Body
Last Updated ( Saturday, 12 September 2009 )

You’ve decided it’s time to slim down and tone your body. Maybe you’ve decided to get into those jeans that haven’t fit for the last five years, or you just want to look good in a bikini. Whatever the reason, thousands of people per year decide that this is the year that they are finally going to lose weight and look in the mirror and see a slimmer, trimmer, healthier person staring back at them than the one they see now.

The biggest hassle with diets and exercise is that people want to see results immediately. When they don’t see results almost immediately, they tend to get discouraged, and that’s when they start cheating on their diets, and skimping on their exercise plans.

In an effort to speed up their weight loss, they then try different diet plans , gimmicks and supplements. The problem with this is they don’t do the necessary research before buying, because they believe the sales pitches they see on television. As a result, they could spend hundreds, if not thousands of dollars for supplements and other diet paraphernalia that don’t really work!

All About Slim in 6

In this article we will look at a well-known diet and exercise plan called, Slim 6. Slim 6 is designed to incorporate both weight training and aerobic exercise to boost your metabolism, so you can slim down effectively. Along with the weight training and aerobic plan, it also has a diet plan, which is both balanced and low in fat. By combining these three things, you have a potent fat fighting recipe.

Slim 6 comes with three exercise DVD’s. It starts with the Start It Up video, which is 25 minutes long, then goes to the Ramp It Up video, which is 48 minutes in length, and finally finishes up with the Burn It Up video, which is 59 minutes long.

You are supposed to do each video six times per week, which allows for one day of rest, for two weeks, before moving on to the next video in the series. Each video gets progressively harder, which is a good thing, because it doesn’t let your body become used to the routine. By challenging your body, you’re going to see greater results, faster than you would if you allowed your body to just keep doing the same old, unchallenging thing day after day for six weeks. By mixing the routine up every two weeks, you also alleviate some of the boredom that comes with repetition. In effect, it’s like starting a new exercise routine every two weeks.

 

Will Slim in 6  get you a toned body?

The best thing about Slim 6 is that it doesn’t leave any part of losing weight to mere chance. This exercise program targets all the fundamental basics of how to lose weight, including diet, stretching, aerobic exercise and weight training. The exercise routines also target all of the major muscle groups, which is a great thing if you want to slim down and tone up your muscles.

Debbie Siebers, who is the host on the Slim 6 videos, is an excellent host. However, after listening to her for six days a week, you’ll probably have the exercise techniques down pat and won’t really need to listen to her anymore. At this point feel free to crank up some of your own tunes to work away to.

The entire package can be paid in three installments of $19.95, which isn’t a bad price for three-exercise videos, plus the diet guide. It’s far more reasonable than most gym memberships, and far better than a lot of the gimmicky weight loss programs found on the market.

The Slim 6 exercise and regiment program, while good, does have some drawbacks. For instance, some people have found that the program is too difficult, and therefore not the right fit for them. If someone finds that they can’t handle the exercise program, chances are they aren’t going to be able to stick to it. In that case, they may have wasted their money. Some people have found that the exercise videos are hard on their knees, because of the jumping and stretching it requires.

If you’re in moderately good health already, but just want to slim down, and tone up your muscles, then this is probably a great program for you. It will challenge you, and promote weight loss just like their ads claim. But if you’re obese, or have some health issues, you may want to start out with an exercise program that is a little easier. If you go that route, you could always pick up on the Slim 6 program once you’ve slimmed down a bit and your body is better able to handle the stress.

However, the Slim 6 developers never say that the program is super easy. Unlike some of the diet plans on the market, who claim that you can continue to eat fatty, high calorie foods, pop a pill and still lose weight, the Slim 6 fitness and diet regiment is based on hard work and a good diet, which are the hallmarks of real weight loss. The old adage is true. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Diet pills rarely work, especially if they aren’t coupled with exercise and a good diet.

 

Conclusion

It takes six weeks to complete the entire Slim 6 program, and if you stick to the diet plan and exercise using the videos six days a week, you can expect to lose weight. Even if the exercise regiment is a little too hard, and you feel you need an extra day of rest, you could do that and still lose weight. Although, you won’t lose as much as you would have if you had worked out for the entire six days, like the videos tell you to.

All in all, the Slim in 6-diet plan is better than most, and for most people, is well worth the money. If it gets you off the couch, working out and eating better, then its bound to work, and you’ll soon find you’re a slimmer, healthier you as a result.

Hey. I am thinking of starting SI6. I am 5'3", 22, a Zumba fitness instructor and weigh 145-150. I love Zumba but I need something else to do. I was thinking of doing this because it seems like a good thing to do if you want to get more toned and I need it in my thighs. I am naturally an hour-glass shaped girl and am by all means healthy. I need something to "jump start" toning and more healthy eating. I have done the Abs diet for women and found it to be SO successful especially the eating (I didn't do the exercises regurlarly) AND I did NOT gain back the weight until 3 months after I stopped and have not gained more as I did when I did weight watchers years ago. I would like to start some sort of support group for young ladies up to 25 years old so if you'd like to be on it or if you have any tips just e-mail me
3. I LOVE SLIM IN 6!!!!

Hey, I've been doing Slim in 6 for about a week now and I'm on Burn it up! I love it! It's hard for me to get started and make myself do it every night, but once I'm working out, and afterwards, I feel so much better. And it feels like Debbie is talking straight to me during the workout. It helps a lot. I would definitely recommend this program for anyone who is thinking about losing some weight, not serious weight, but some. At least it's something you know? At least it gets people off their butt and moving and active. My family and friends have noticed a change in my weight and appearance just this past week alone. So I wonder what I will look like after the 6 weeks is up!!! Can't wait!!!! If anyone needs any help or motivation, please email me. I could use some too!!!

I really need to tone my stomach I am 5'2 and 130 pounds, but I am not toned at all....I call it jiggly. Is this the program to get me toned or should I try the P90X?

I am on day 3 of my second round of Slim in 6! I am very excited to be back on the program. I did my first round a few years ago and had EXCELLENT results in only 6 weeks!! My abs developed so much, it was literally as if my belly button shifted up on my belly! I lost less than ten pounds in that time frame- but I looked so much better in a bikini! I cheated on my diet fairly often on that first round (and still had great results), so now I'm hoping that I can be more strict with eating well and get even better results. I recommend Slim in 6 to anyone that is willing to press play 6 days a week!

Hi, I have been doing SI6 for three weeks now and am on Ramp it up. I have already seen a big difference in my legs and arms and my bf says my waist is shrinking. I have only lost 5 lbs but if it's going to slim me down anyways it's all good. I really have seen much more progress now that I am on Ramp it up. 
 
For those of you who are confused on what to do it's 6 days a week 
2 weeks of Start it up 
2 weeks of Ramp it up 
2 weeks of Burn it up 
 
I do the Slim & Limber every day and believe me it decreases muscle soreness a lot. I try to do the Slim in 6 Pack every other day but it gets hard because of all the ab work I'm already doing with the program. 
Good luck everyone!

Last year after some health issues I started an excercise program along with dieting. I lost several pounds over the past year but hit 170 and can't get below 165 lbs. I am 45 years old 5 feet 6inches. I saw the slim in 6 add and thought this maybe would be my answer to help me lose my last 10 to 15 pounds. 
I am 9 days into the excercises. I began with the start it up dvd for 3 days and then moved into the ramp it up dvd and have been there for 6 days. I plan to start Burn it Up at the beginning of my third week.  
I have high hopes this program will help me. I believe excercise is a good thing.

Pam - I had this problem with p90x and our forum here serves as a great motivator. By posting daily updates on your progress, mental health, everything about your experience with your favorite workout it gives the little edge to be motivation by simple peer pressure. You can do this with a group of friends/neighbors as well. Peer pressure has an amazing affect on our ability to fight through the times when we would rather have a nice lazy night on the couch. Good luck! I hope you post on our forum, I WILL BE WATCHING! :D

I am doing slim in 6. I just finished week 3. I've been seeing great results. I had a baby 3 months ago and can fit into most of my pre pregnancy clothing already! But, I was exhausted this week! I had to skip the workouts on Wednesday and then again yesterday! My body is in such pain. Anyone else experience this? If so, What was your motivation to keep going?

I have been doing slim in 6 on and off for a while.. honestly to me this is the real deel.. im 18 years old. im a lil chunky still but i was very hefty about a year and a half ago, i have turbo jam which is also from beach body.. but if your looking to lose serious weight try slim in 6. you really have to put your work into it.. to me its difficult but i do see results. you also have to eat right as well. Last year i was in high school and alot of people would ask me how i was losing the weight i told them and they were beievers because the proof was right in front of there face. i would [[highly]] recommend this to any one that wants to lost weight. just some advise.. stick with it through the whole thing. dont expect to order it and get results. its still hard for me and i pratically no the videos by heart lol.. im still working on my stomach though but the rest of my body is pretty much toned.. especially my legs and arms. through everything though i have lost about 60 pounds i think this program is amazing

I am on the second week. I had to have knee surgey two years ago and I decided that I needed to lose some weight because I didn't want to die like my mom. I have found out that after I got what I thought was all the videos they were not all there. I get a good breakfast and then I go to work and boy do I sweat. I find that it is easy to do so far. I had tried the Firm and that is what messed up my Right knee. I can't do any of that step up and step down.

Hi I ordered slim in 6 and was given a daily exercise schedule which instructed me to do a different dvd everyday for the six weeks. This schedule had a mixture of doing burn it up, cardio core, another cardio, slim & limber all on a different day. But after reading the above I was supposed have done start it up for a couple of weeks, then ramp it up, then burn it up. I am very confused as to what I am supposed to be doing I have followed the schedule for about 4wks now and am seeing slight results I am eating a low calorie diet but am not using the supplements should I start all over or continue as I am?

I just started the SI6 program today, but I'm confused on which video to do each day. I did the Start it up, and the slim in 6-pack, but was I supposed to do Ramp it up as well? Please help!! I'm very motivated to do this entire program, and continuing to use it after the 6 weeks are up. Please email me at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it and THANKS!

As always you should consult a physician to make sure, but the only thing holding you back would be your heart rate getting too high. If you are in fairly good shape then yes you can! I know Tony Horton is in his 50's now and is king of P90X which is much more hard core then slim in 6. So it really depends on your current condition.

It will get you toned not build muscle. Do you have a low body fat percentage now and are just muscular? If you have no body fat to lose this may not help but if you do it will. Being just naturally muscular I would recommend long duration cardio and the best one I can think of is swimming.

I'm 14 and totally overweight. I hate it. and I've checked out the slim in 6 weight loss plan. I'm a little skeptical, but i want to give it a try. My question is what kind of foods do i have to eat, like is it a strict diet? And I'm a very muscular girl. I cheerlead, play softball, etc. so i think if i slimmed down then i would be built nicely. So does this plan work to lose weight, or tone?
19. Si6 after baby
Written by This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , on 09-07-2009 12:56
This is my second round of Si6. I use it as a warm up to get my body back into shape after being pregnant. I'm almost done with week three and I am just starting to see and feel some changes in my body. I love the workout because it targets my problem areas (abs, buns, thighs)and also gives me a good sweat in less than an hour. Anyone can do this series, as long as you are dedicated and eat right. Eating poorly WILL completely destroy your efforts to lose weight and get in shape.

I'm 21, 5'4'' and 210 pounds. I'm actually in good shape for my size, I play sports and work out when I can. Most people are baffled when I tell them my weight. I'm tired of being this big at such a young age and my mom has Si6 so I'm starting it in the morning. Any support will be really great, as I've noticed that success rests upon support for these kinds of things. My goal is to go from a 16 (yes, I'm a 16, which is why people get confused when I say over 200 lbs) to a 12 by the end of the 6 weeks. Wish me luck!
