4.0 out of 5 stars Slim in 6 - Boot Camp for your booty!, April 5, 2005

By 

Lee Mellott "Skin Care For Wrinkles" (Frederick, Maryland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (VINE VOICE)   

Debbie Seibers is an attractive, very fit trainer who will attempt to whip your body into shape with Beach Bodies program, "Slim in 6".

The DVD program includes 2 DVD's (in one case) or several VHS tapes depending on which you purchase. A Simple Steps to Success Guide, and calender. Beachbody also includes an internet CD-Rom which is silly because all you have to do is type in beachbody.com and you are where the CD-Rom would take you.

The workouts included are: Start It Up, Ramp It Up and Burn It Up along with Slim & 6 pack and Slim & Limber. The suggested rotation is to use Start it Up for 1 week. Then do Ramp It Up for 2 weeks and conclude with Burn It Up for 3 weeks. These workouts are designed to be intense and done for 6 weeks only. After which you can follow up with a separately sold Keep It Up tape, and do the Slim in 6 workouts in rotation with other workouts.

Slim in 6 includes a little paper calender to check off your workout days. (You are supposed to work out 6 out of 7 days). It also includes a Simple Steps to Success program which explains how to use the tapes, promotes the supplements beach body sells, and has a day by day simple chart to fill in. I checked into the supplements and did not feel that they were worth purchasing as the testing was not extensive (testing was done by Beach Body) and the ingredients were unproven. I did try the vitamins which broke me out due to the iodine.

The exercise tapes include exercises such as lunges, plies, squats, hamstrings, crunches etc. Debbie is accompanied by two exercisers. She is clear with her direction and is friendly but not overly chatty. Just the right pace. A clock and segment timer help you mark time and keep you going. There is also a music on/off option. Slim and Limber is a 15 minute flexibility routine for your days off and Slim and 6 pack is an 8 minute ab routine.

As an added bonus Beach Body also sometimes include a 6 Day Express Diet Guide for accelerated weight loss. This is definately a boot camp diet, with about 1200 calories per day that you can add to depending on your size. The spiral bound guide will walk you through step by step the exact exercises to do and what to eat if you want to kick a** and get in gear very fast!

The plan is very intense. I followed it for 5 weeks and approaching my 6th could barely stand to see Debbies pretty face one more morning! I decided to opt for an easier program instead of following up with the Slim Series that Beach Body also sells. I don't want to kill myself and will settle for a decent shape instead of a super buff one.

If you want to get ripped and you don't want to join a gym and you promise to eat right..you can make great strides with these tapes. Just keep in mind they are very intense. This is a boot camp after all!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great program, horrible customer service, December 11, 2005

By 

Sugarcane - See all my reviews

I ordered Slim in 6 four months ago and soon began the program. Slowly I began seeing reults. However, I only did the program 4-5 times a week. Had I done the recommended 6 days a week I'm sure the results would have been better. Debbie is a good motivator and I never really got sick of seeing her (the niceness helps). Overall, it is a good program and will bring results if you follow the guidlines.

However, Beachbody's costumer service is HORRENDOUS. The infomercial makes it seem as if you getting all 3 dvds at the time of purchase, when you really only get 2, and then they charge you again to get the last set. I had 8 phone conversations and 4 emails with representatives because they said they fix something and never did. They even shipped and charged me for a brand new set that I never ordered! When I finally spoke with a supervisor, she was rude and impersonal. I told her then that I would never buy another product from this company until they got their act together. Her response: "Is there anything else you need today." !!! Because of this, I would never deal with Beachbody again. It is not worth the hasle and extra money being taken that has to be replaced....order it from Amazon!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent DVD!, May 20, 2005

By 

Kendra - See all my reviews

This dvd combines aerobic and resistance training in 5 separate workouts. Even the beginning one, using no weights, is a challenge. The second and third use resistance bands that can be substituted with dumbbells. There is also a 12 minute ab session that is quite challenging, and a 15 minute stretching session.

Debbie is great. She's calm, cues well, reminds the viewer of proper form consistently, and guides you through each exercise and onto the next. Sometimes, though, she tells you there's only 4 more, but really, there's 4 more of those, then 8 more at double time. . . then 8 more pulses!

I have less praise for the beachbody eating plan and, consequently, I use this dvd along with my eating plan. I do not use the beachbody plan which, although good, is a bit confusing and really more of an adjunct to the dvd. I also don't use the Beachbody supplements, although I am a believer of supplements. I purchase what I need elsewhere, however.

Although the workouts include men, I believe this is more of a workout for females. These workouts train your same muscles every day, without letting your muscles rest the following day. The thought with this type of training is that women want their bodies smaller, firmer, and toned-- not necessarily more muscular. These workouts combine anaerobic compound moves (working 2 areas at the same time--thereby increasing weight loss) during the resistance phases, with aerobics. When you train each body part daily, you are training to be slimmer and firmer. When you train and let your muscles fully recover for at least 48 hours, you are training to enlarge your muscles. The program is intended for use 6 out of 7 days.

The dvd workouts are worth the cost even without the included beachbody diet plan.
