Slim in 6 - Slim Down and Tone Body

Slim in 6

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. Stick with slim in 6 as one of the best fat burning workouts on the market today and you will be glad you did.

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.

  1. Does this have workouts for thighs? Im going to a formal dance in 6 weeks and I really want to get my legs skinnier for the dress I bought. Someone pleease answer quickly.
  2. I have this program and YES it works! If your slim to start you'll see results in less then 2 wks. If your fluffy like me, noticable results are visible at about 3-4 wks. Con- you have to do it EVERYDAY, twice a day...forever. I also own the keep it off DVD. My advise to those who own it keep doing 6 wk cycles of the slim in 6, it keeps you in shape.
  3. I completed my first week of Slim in 6, I exercised twice a day, I feel so very strong and energetic while exercising now. Today was my first day of Ramp it up. I am so happy i could do it with ease as now i have the stamina to keep up wth it. Immense progress from Day 1 of Start it up when i had started to pant just after 5 minutes...I lost a little less than 2ibs but i am happy. I am keeping up to it and determined to exercise twice a day....I am waiting to see myself back in shape! WOah! It surely works!! Just be motivated!
  4. hey i bought the si6 yrs ago n didnt stick to it but my body is tellin me its time but saggy big belly lol. my question is do i stop after 6weekss or keep continue cause wat if i stop and keep eatin wouldnt i gain again!? and ikno it says for 6 days a week but for how long?! a whole dvd a day! i just love food too much lol someone help pls!!!!
  5. I purchased slim 6 a few years ago and NEVER worked out. Started slim 6 two days ago but I'm confused. The dvds I got are Mix It Up, Shape It Up, Tear It Up and Keep It UP. Which dvds do I do first or does it really matter? I workout at my own pace with these anyways. Will I still get results?
  6. [B]null[/B]helly im Julie in 21 years old and weighed in at 249 pounds my friend has the slim in 6 dvd just didnt have the motivation to do it so we started working out 5 days a week and i have cut down on my cal intake alot also. with the 2 weeks of slim in 6 and walking a mile or two everyday i weighed in at 228 losing a whooping 21 POUNDS in the two weeks. i no that sound bad to lose that much so quickly but from not working out and eating everything to slim in 6 walking, and eating healthy my body just loved it. im now starting the ramp it up and cant wait for more results!!!!! this video is well recommended yes the music is boring but if you just pay attention to your movements its great!!!!!Also the dvd slim in 6 you can move at your own pace for ex, we did the start it up for 2 weeks and now we will be doing ramp it up for 3 weeks....ive tried every diet out there not joking and this is the only dvd that has pushed me to want to keep going. good luck to everyone!!!!!
  7. I want to make sure that I am going to do the program right. Do I start with Start it up 6 times for 2 weeks then ramp it up 6 times for 2 weeks and then burn it up 6 times for 2 weeks. Is this how you start the program?
  8. It is very efficient .. I have to admit. But I find it so boring (music and routines). I don't feel like wanting to do it. It scalped my motivation. After Si6, I bought TurboFire and I really enjoy working out 6 days/week. I'm just saying : for some people it's not a fun workout that you want to do everyday.
  9. Started slim fast a couple weeks ago, already see a great difference mixed in with 3 days of p90X. It's very excited to see products like these ACTUALLY work for you! You just need to stick to it and you'll look great in no time.
  10. Heather, I am literally watching the Slim in 6 infomercial right now, and it says: 1 week of Start it up 1 week of ramp it up 4 weeks of burn it up. question- do you do the slim and limber before or after the actual workout to decrease muscle soreness?
  11. I LOVE these dvds! For the past couple weeks I have been doing Burn it up one day, then the thin thighs and six pack the next. I alternate this routine every day of the week and have never had more energy! I'm 20 years old, 5'5" and weigh 125 pounds, I'm not looking to lose weight but just to tone and get healthy. I feel great and plan on continuing these workouts well past the 6 week time line :)
  12. Hi there! I'm going on my second week with Slim in 6 and I'm seeing results already!!! I was really sore the first few days but by body quickly got used to the routine and I'm fine now. I feel great. I would recommend this to anyone. I haven't been taking the supplements or following the diet plan. I've just been eating heealthy and drinking lots of water.
  13. Hey everyone, I am starting the slim in 6 this week, I am 5'8 at 137 pounds, and would like to be 127. My bone structure is medium, but I feel like I could def be more toned. I only have the videos and no diet plan, so if someone would love to email me the diet plan, I'd be truly grateful! If not, Ill just make sure to eat healthy, and drink lots of water :) Ill exercise faithfully, and let you all know how I did, and take pictures or before and after :)
  14. I have started the Slim in 6 about five days ago and love it. I am 41 and over weight with a husband who is faithful to P90X and looks great. That would be my reason for doing this.You know there is always a man in it somewhere.lol. The workouts make you sweat and your legs hurt like crazy for the fist three days but a good hurt. I noticed that one post stated that you do Start it up for two weeks and then Ramp it up for two and last Burn it up for two weeks but on the Start it up video she says to do the Start it up for one week and Ramp it up for two weeks and finish up with Burn it up for the last three weeks. Anyone have any info on this. And way to go girls keep it up and good luck to us all.
  15. Hello, i'm about to start the slim in 6 program, I am really wanting to lose 20-25 lbs by may when my son graduates. I am hopeing I can stick w/it, six days is alot of work out, I do plan on getting on my eliptical in the evenings 3days a wk, i'm 5'9 and 230, i' very lucky i am big boned, if not my weight would really show, i'm in a 14 but would like to get in a 10...here is my email for some encouragement, would like to hear from someone that it is working for.Take is easy...
  16. The program sounds great and everything -which is why I bought it -but I haven't stuck to it so I couldn't ascertain that the program worked for me. I get to doing it and then quit after a few days when something comes up...I would say it does really work up a sweat but its easy enough to do everyday. The other half is that one eats healthy, drink water, don't get too much stress, sleep, and do it every day. Wow -getting one's hectic life to follow that kind of pattern is not that easy.
  17. This is one workout that I haven't done. I have a friend who just got over her pregnancy and she just started the slim in six and loves it.
  18. I am thinking about buying the SI6 but I have pretty bad knees - how high impact is the program - especially the 3rd DVD? Please let me know because I am going abroad soon and I have to order it 3 weeks before I leave! Thanks, Kerry
  19. Ok, I am starting the Slim in 6 today. I have lost weight before but then I gained 50 pounds with my first child. I am ready to have another child but I don't want to pack on more pounds on top of the 40 I still have from my first child. So I hope this works.
  20. I
  21. i have been on this slim in six since 9-3-2009 to day 11-20-2009 l have lost 19# and lots of inches. the key is to use the program and eat sensibablly i don't really diet i just eat less and try to eat better stuff. just cutting out soda and sweets will make a big difference. i love what this program has done for me . i have gone from a 16 to a 12 . i will stay there because i will exercise at least3-4 days a week when i get to my goal. it is true what they say about not weighing all the time when you exercise yu need to let your meqasurements and they way your clothes fit be your guide
  22. Hi, I am Brandy. I am 5'3'' and weigh 127 pounds. My lower body is kind of heavy. I have been working out the usual stepper, treadmill way for quite some time. I work out 3-4 days a week. But somehow, my weight doesnt seem to come down. I eat normal food though, not a lot of junk food, just some. Do you think Slim In 6 is something that'll help me?
  23. I just started slim in 6 las night, i did the start it up and it was fun and easy to follow, and let me tell you, today i can feel that i worked out, if it works or not i dont know yet but i will surely let you know in 6 weeks!!!
  24. I love this program it really does work . i have ordered Keep it up and the slim series to give me some variety. i started on 9-3-2009 . i have lost 16# and lost of inches everywhere if anyone need motativation or encouragement to buy this program just email me Lesablackford@hotmail.com
  25. I think i could motivate myself to do this program ... but is it really worth the money?!?! I hate to waste money I don't have.... but I am getting married in 3 months and I NEED to find a program that will work! I only need to lose about 15 lbs.
  26. 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
  27. 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!!! [EMAIL]snufflebunny2005@aol.com[/EMAIL]
  28. 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?
  29. 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!
  30. 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!
  31. 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.
  32. 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
  33. 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?
  34. 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
  35. 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.
  36. 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?
  37. I started the start it up today!!! I had tried it once before but I never really stuck to the program. Hopefully I will be able to stick to the program!!!
  38. 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 dirtdiva6@yahoo.com and THANKS!
  39. 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.
  40. Question for you...am 61 yrs. old in fairly good shape...interested in starting Slim in 6, but want to know if it is really set for a person my age...have read reviews, but only saw a comment from people who were 19, 21, or 32??? Thank You - Christina Sides
  41. 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.
  42. 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?
  43. 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.
  44. 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!
  45. I'm 19 years old and weight about 140 pounds, 5 foot tall. Will I see results after 6 weeks, if I worked hard and ate well? How many lbs can I expect to lose?
  46. I did taebo for awhile, but it wasnt working for me. too easy. so im starting slim6 2nite. my aunt let me borrow 2 of the dvds shape up backside & shape up front. im just wondering what foods do i have to eat? since i dont have the guidebook or nutritional guide. and also will this really slim me down or just not let me lose weight and just get toned. because i [B]really[/B] dont want abs.
  47. My husband & I quit smoking just over 3 months ago. After getting over the eating to fight a craving, we started slim in 6. That was 2 weeks ago. We are following the workout program -- tonight finished our 2nd week (week of Ramp it Up). We are eating the right foods, maintaining an intake of 1200 to 1500 calories a day. We aren't LOSING weight, but we are both noticing how we're toning and feeling more tone, fit & sexy. Just for that, we'll keep it going and hopefully continue with the better eating lifestyle! We'll touch base again in a couple of weeks to let you know how the program worked for us. We like to read this to know what others are experiencing too. Thanks for any support any of you could offer. Everyone, keep up the great work!
  48. For [B]Rebekah[/B], and anyone else who saw a dramatic change,did you follow the nutrition guide as well? I am starting Si6 without the guide and without any supplements. Will I still get dramatic results?
  49. if you had a baby almost a year ago and your tyna lose the baby bump will your program work or will i have to use 4 more then 6 days
  50. To those of you discouraged that you completed the six weeks and have lost little or no weight please remember that muscle weighs more than fat. After doing these exercises you have been improving the muscle you had and possibly added more. Your choice to exercise shouldn't revolve around weight loss but building a healthier body, unless you are obese and must loose weight to avoid weight related health problems and injuries. The goal should be to get healthier not merely to see that difference when you step on a scale.
