Yep, ladies. Here we are with another recruit attempt!
I know I've been singing the praises of Slim In Six to the Low Carb Community for over 3 years now! To this day it's still the program I go back to when I need something to seriously reshape my body and kick my butt into gear.
There are a *lot* of us here on the board that have the Slim In Six program or have very recently ordered it and are anticipating delivery on it in the next week. So? What are we waiting for?!! LETS DO THIS!!
The Challenge:
To go the full six weeks using the Slim In Six program and report in daily.
The Über Challenge:
To go the full 6 days a week for 6 weeks using the Slim In Six program and report in daily.
Check-Ins/Whine Fest:
We will start a thread in the Exercise Forum titled "Si6 Vidiots- The House of Pain". This way we have a common 'house' to whine in, and whine we will people. Whine we will! We'll keep the same thread alive throughout the challenge so we can all go back and see how far we've come in 6 measley weeks!
Requirements:
You must take BEFORE pictures. They must be a front shot, a back shot, and a side shot. You do not have to post these pictures to start out with, but there will be an expectation to see them along with your AFTERS side by side at the end of 6 weeks.
Take a start picture in whatever you're comfy taking a start picture in, but nothing that hangs, ladies! You can't see changes if you can't see YOU!
**If the members of the Si6 Vidiots decide to show their befores and afters just within the membership of the Vidiots, we will set up a way to do that amongst ourselves privately. Fair enough?!
You must take your measurements. Again, you do not have to post these in the thread for God and everyone to see, but you will be expected to take weekly measurements and post your inches lost/gained/etc.
When do we start?!:
Let's start when we get them! That should put most of us within a week or so of each other. If we wait too long we're going to wind up carrying all the way through Christmas - Unless, of course, you're all okay with that?!! INPUT PLEASE AND WE'LL EDIT THIS TOMORROW WHEN EVERYONE HAS CHIMED IN!
So what if I'm at a different level than everyone else?
Everyone start where they need to and work at which ever level video they need to. Those of us that have dealt with the "Squat ****" know that trying to go too far too fast will leave you feeling like a one legged man in an @ss kicking contest. Some have the newer Start It Up that's only 25 minutes long, some have the old version which is 56 minutes (or something like that).
*If you have the new version, stick to the 3-5 days of Start It Up and then bump to Ramp It Up.
*If you have the old version, stick to the first week of Start It Up and bump up to Ramp It Up for the beginning of week 2.
*If you're already familiar with the program and are comfy, dive right in with Ramp It Up.
**There will be NO expectation that you move to the next video at a certain time. These are tough workouts, and we each need to progress through them at a level we're each comfortable at. If you never make it past Start It Up in the 6 weeks, COOL! Don't ever pop in Burn It Up? COOL! Work at your own pace!!**
What equipment does the program require?
*Heart
*Dedication
*Willingness to swear at a TV (even in the presense of small children if necessary).
*3 or 5lb dumb bells or a Light to Medium Resistance Band. (I'd recommend Light if this is your first time through.) They use resistance bands in the videos, but 3 or 5lb dumb bells are just fine!
*Water.
*A towel. You're ~going~ to sweat. A lot.
*I'd recommend a fan!
Are you going to make us put this in our signatures like the "Butt Cheeks That Can Crack Walnuts Crew" stuff?
Umm, duh. Yes.
The program is designed to be worked 6 days a week for 6 weeks. That's 36 workouts.
Some have talked about doing Slim In Six in conjunction with other programs they're doing, i.e. running. If that's how you choose to join us, COOL! We'll take you! If you're committing to 4 days a week, then that's 24 workouts in 6 weeks. 3 days a week? That's 18 workouts. I'm sure you can all do the math here!
If someone gets real graphics creative, cool beans, we'll use that. If not, let's just add "SI6 Vidiots: 1/36 workouts DONE!" and we'll link it to either here or our House of Pain. Fair enough?! <--- Again, if you have another suggestion for this, HOLLER please!! This is easily editable!
