4.0 out of 5 stars Great-- especially the abs workout!, October 1, 2007

By	Kendra - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars This exercise video changed my life, May 28, 2008

By	T. Dial - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the best, most effective exercise video I have ever come across, hands down! I not only did it for six weeks and saw great results; I did it for another six weeks and then another. In fact, I have been doing it off and on (mostly on) for almost four years. I just can't find anything better. There was one 90-day period when I did Tony Horton's "Power 90" (it was okay), and I've also added light weights to Slim in 6 to increase the toning. I only recently have starting doing Tone it Up! and Cool it Off! from Debbie's "Slim Series". And I only started doing that because I think I have finally plateaued with Slim in 6 and my body needs a change. I just wish Debbie would come out with a similar video with the same concept, (a one hour video with all over toning and cardio), just different for a change and to break through plateaus. I have the whole Slim Series (6 videos), but I don't want 6 videos to have to choose from and figure out. I want ONE awesome one. All other videos I have tried have benn either ineffective or made me too bulky. I am short, 5' 2", yet my body builds muscle mass easily, creating a "stocky thick" look if I am not careful. This is the only video that actually helped me lose weight and build muscle without looking too large. I also love that Debbie doesn't try to get too fancy, funky or complicated with her moves. They are simple and effective. No weird dancing, no annoying manic positivity, just a pleasant personality who knows what she is talking about. I can't say enough good about Debbie Siebers and Slim in 6! I lost 25 pounds, went from a size 8-10 to a 0-2 and have kept if off for almost 4 years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Debbie will whip your [...] into shape!, November 7, 2007

By	Bianca (Bellingham, WA) - See all my reviews

I bought this about a year ago and tried it, half heartedly, once. I thought, Oh god this is so boring I could cry. I'm not sure what made me go back, but I am glad I did! I've tried a ton of workouts since my original attempt at the Slim in 6 series and when I got back to it, it was like a breath of fresh air. The moves are easy to learn, Debbie consistently cues well, and gives great reminders on form and breathing. The workout may not look like much at first, but you will be dripping with sweat and screaming at the TV before it is over. These workouts are definitely about high repetition and you WILL feel it the next day. I was so excited about these workouts that I tried Great Body Guaranteed, which turned me on to Tony Horton and P90, and also the follow up to Slim in 6: Slim Series and Slim Series Express. They are all awesome workouts, especially if you are someone that does not like dancy workouts. My very favorite thing about all of these workouts is that there is a lot of kicking and punching, but more slowly and controlled than you will find in other workouts. Give it an honest try, don't be like me. I could have been in better shape a year ago if only I had given the workouts a real try. Well, I know better now!! These are in my permanent rotation along with the handful of Cathe videos I can actually follow along with!
