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.

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.

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.

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.
7. Question about knees
Written by This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , on 18-12-2009 08:34
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,

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.

I´m a bit surprised with the comments I´ve read on Slim in 6. I´ve tried to move from ramp it up to Burn it Up but I find it´s too much for my legs and just with ramp it up I feel my knees hurt. Am I doing something wrong??? 
I think that eventually I´ll get there, but 6Weeks??? Don´t think so! As a matter of fact, I had to get in condition with Leslie Sansone before even trying SI6!

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

Written by Brandy, on 16-11-2009 18:54
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?

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
16. 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?
18. Love Slim in 6!

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.
