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.

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.

11. Slim in 6 Written by This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , on 22-02-2009 10:29 It's winter time and I don't like to leave my house once I've gotten home from work. I still wanted to work out and I found the Slim in 6 DVD's that I bought a while back. I figured I would give them a try!  I did not buy their supplements but have my own. I did not follow their program to a T however, I am noticing great results!! I spent about a week each on Start it up and Ramp it up. I got to Burn it UP and Wow!! I have found that it is difficult for me to do the video 6 days a week. I try to do it 5 days and not to go more than 2 days with a rest. I always feel smaller and more toned the morning after I've excercised! It motivates me to keep working. I would recommend this series to anyone who wants to lose weight, tone up but not join an expensive gym. It's difficult while you're doing it but it is so worth it! I still have a few weeks to go but am really looking forward to this summer!!

14. re gabrielle about the program... Written by This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , on 14-09-2008 11:23 I have used slim in six before and as a user i can tell you it does work...For gabrielle, you should have no problem with the video as long as you are committed to the exercise. It will be hard at first but after a few times the challenge will get to become something fun you can test your stamina with...nullGood luck

17. Written by This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , on 20-06-2008 01:52 I did 1 round of Si6. I did what I could w/o over doing myself. If I felt too sore, I cut it back.   I started @ 180 & ended @ 165. Went from sz 16 to sz 12 pant & from an XL top to a Medium in 6 weeks. I didn't lose a TON of pounds but it has made a physical difference. People are regularly asking me what I am doing.    I get easily jumbled with fancy footwork video's. These took some work but I felt confident I could do it. They aren't high tech, they aren't fancy smancy but they work. They got me moving & have made a difference. I am starting round 2. I plan to increase my resistance bands and keep challenging myself to improve. I figure there is room to grow & still more DVD tracks to add to my regiment.
