Great for toning up the body!
Reviewer: Anonymous 06-20-2004
This 6 week problem really toned my core area up. I did the tapes everyday, except on my day off. I didn't see the pounds come off as much as the inches coming off. It's not easy, but you can get through it.

Best program on the market
Reviewer: Anonymous 01-07-2005
After 3 months on this program, I lost 40 lbs and over 40 inches!! There is also great online support. Although it is hard work, it is totally worth it!

Wow, It really works!
Reviewer: Anonymous 01-06-2005
After 6 weeks of using this, I lost a total of 21 inches, and 50 lbs. IT REALLY WORKS!

Tapes Really Work
Reviewer: Anonymous 00-12-2020
The program is hard but it takes commitment to accomplish your goals. These tapes really work if you keep up with them and eat healthy.

Quick Results
Reviewer: Anonymous 12-02-2002
I can't believe how quickly you see results with this program. It has given me hope and is helping my dreams come true.

Disappointed
Reviewer: Anonymous 11-14-2004
This workout is very boring & repetitive. I saw absolutely NO results and felt no change in my body.

NOT Recommended
Reviewer: Anonymous 01-03-2005
I would definitely not recommend this tape. The music is really horrible and it's down right boring. I need variety and I need good music to motivate me. I would certainly not recommend this product to intermediate or advanced people.

I just finished Slim in 6
Reviewer: Anonymous Seattle, WA 07-29-2005
I just finished the Slim in 6 Training with Debbie Siebers. It was challenging, but fun to do. Debbie Siebers is very motivating and nice, and will keep you going! The program is a 6-week committment for people, who want to have a rapid healthy weight loss, or for those, who want to tone up and get more lean. I did just used this program to tone up, and I am really emthusiatic! I got great results, I even lost 5lbs. during the 6 weeks. I found it amazing how my body changed. I lost inches around my waist, and I'm a lot more toned than before. Most of all my fitness level has so much increased during those 6 weeks! I can do things now, that I couldn't do before. So, if you are looking for a great program to use at home for getting into shape or loosing some weight, then this is a program for you! But you absolutely need to stick to it for the whole 6 weeks! Cheating and only doing it sometimes will not bring you results!
I will soon do another round of Slim in 6. I can highly recommand this program. It's really worth the money.

Excellent DVD
Reviewer: Kendra 05-21-2005
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.

Slim in 6 - Boot Camp for your booty
Reviewer: Lee Mellott Frederick, Maryland 04-05-2005
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!

Don't think about it....get this program. It works!!!

Ok, I came to this program because I saw the result of my friend. My friend weight around 185 lbs. after having her kid. Then she started doing this program. I saw her losing weight like crazy from week to week. She used to have round face, but the roundness was gone. So, I asked her how many weight she had lost so far. She told me 20 pounds already. I couldn't believe my eyes this only happend in just one month. So, I dropped my own program and got this one. I am currently doing this program for 4 weeks. I am amazed of the way I shrink in my trunk, slim down and tone. Although this workout is tough, but the result you get is so rewarding.

IT TRULY WORKS!
Reviewer: Dee "-Dee" Texas 01-22-2005
Hi all. This is my first time posting a review in a long time..partly, because I probably didn't care and secondly because I had never felt so passionately about a product before. I'm currently in WEEK FOUR of the Slim in 6 and I am ASTONISHED!! Four weeks ago, I was wearing Size 14--now I'm in my Size 10s again. I started at 181 pounds and I just weighed myself and I'm down to 167!! Hadn't followed the Diet guide or Michi's Ladder but just "cut back on my sugars and carbs" A LITTLE. Also, didn't take any of their supplements that they encourage you to buy--prolly would get more results if I did. But HEY..with sheer determination and discipline--looks like I'm getting there ANYWAY. WOOHOO.

Only negative--she really gets on my nerves with the constant lunges but hey, it works!! It delivers...I PROMISE!!

Wow!

Before having my baby, I was a personal trainer. Now, post-partum, I needed extra motivation to workout instead of catch up on sleep. I just started this dvd series 2 weeks ago and I am very impressed. It is very challenging (even the Start It Up) and motivating (each workout is divided into little parts and a timer shows you how many seconds you have left of that phase). My only concern is that it does include some moves that could potentially be performed incorrectly, especially at the fast pace of some of them. Overall, excellent workouts--I would receommend doing the exercises slower than the instructor (half-pace) for the first two weeks until you have completely mastered the form. Even at a slower pace, this is still an excellent workout! Much better than I expected!!

Amazzzing....don't think about it...buy it!!!

Okay gang...serious about seeing some results and willing to commit? I have received amazing results from these DVDs...Debbie does an awesome job of producing results in just 6 weeks. I purchased the package, with the diet guide. Not hard to follow. It was worth the money.

Dropped 4 sizes
Reviewer: Rachel L. Bowen 09-16-2004
This workout program is the first workout that has ever helped me trim down & tone up, instead of just bulking up! It kicks your butt & requires a lot of discipline, but it's soooo worth it! I feel great!
