Oh Man, I wish Brook was feeling better! Brook has sworn by Si6, and she has had AMAZING results. She is so fit and looks great!

Lemme tell you, the frist week or so will HURT. You'll wanna give up, but work through it. It will get better. I did it one morning and that night I CRIED as I climbed my measely 2 stairs! But you know it works. I gave it my all the next day...and by day three...it was a million times easier.

I would go for it. Oh yea, I don't know if anyone mentioned this or not, but we refer to her as the squat ****...you'll see what we mean! LOL

YOU CAN DO IT!!!

Re: Does Slim in Six Really Work?

I have a serious love/hate relationship with Debbie Siebers, the slim in 6 guru.

I love her because of the fantastic results I get from her. Even my flabby arms are starting to get more definition to them.

I hate her because her workouts are tough, and she smiles the entire way through them, and she doesn't know how to count reps!!!! She has the cutest little pixie-face and a soothing voice. She's like the devil in cute packaging, lol.
You've gotta try it.

Re: Does Slim in Six Really Work?

Thank you all for the encouragement! I was kind of starting to get into a funk: not able to run much lately after the half marathon due to injury, and getting bored with my food due to lack of desire to cook, 'allowing' myself a few too many low carb treats and the craving sweets nonstop, plateauing off on the weight loss....blah de blah you've heard it all before. So I am VERY excited to kick my butt...in the butt!!!! Thanks for the kind words all of you, and I am so proud of your successes! And Stephanie, your little boy is adorable, what a cute family!!!

Thanks for the compliment!!! Joey's gonna be 1 year next month.. excuse me while I go and cry...

Have a great night

Is SLIM IN SIX something that us "really heavy weights" can do?? Or do I need to stick with the treadmill for a while

The question is whether you can do lunges, squats, and plies with correct form without straining your knees, cause Si6 has LOTS of them. It is low impact and modifiable to different fitness levels. For example, you don't have to go down as far on the lunge, and you can hold onto the back of a chair for support. You can also do the lunges at half speed until you get the hang of them.

It's a great program and definitely burns major calories.

Good luck, no matter what exercise program you decide to do!

Do you need resistance bands?

Ramp it Up and Burn it Up both use resistance bands, but you can use 3 or 5 lb handweights if you have those instead. I found that some exercises (the shoulder presses) are easier to do with weights than with bands. But the bands are great for travel. I took mine with me on vacation this Christmas and kept working out.

Re: Does Slim in Six Really Work?

Ok! Got the DVD from ebay, got the weights- I'm just confused about the program. Do you start with start it up for two weeks, then do the other two programs for two weeks each to total up to six, or is there another way to combine them?

Re: Does Slim in Six Really Work?

I know this is a little off topic, but does anyone think that Debbie Siebers and Jennifer Garner could be sisters because they look so much alike?

Re: Does Slim in Six Really Work?

Pineapple - You can do each routine for as long as you want to before moving up, but the way they recommend doing it is Start it Up for 2 days, Ramp it Up for the next three and a half weeks, and Burn it Up for the last two weeks.

Re: Does Slim in Six Really Work?

hey all, i got my slim in 6 from ebay, and it is fun! quick question: i got the dvd's only, not the instruction booklet....are we supposed to do the dvd in the morning and then an additional cardio workout in the evening, or is just the dvd once a day enough? a little confused....thanks!

[lawyerchick]

Re: Does Slim in Six Really Work?

The DVD once a day is enough. Believe me, once you get to Ramp it Up and Burn it Up, you'll be getting your heartrate up enough for a cardio benefit.

Have fun - and expect to see huge improvements in 6 weeks!!
