Slim in 6 Review

Learn about the benefits and drawbacks of this popular quick weight loss system...

Slim in 6 is a very popular, well-marketed quick weight loss program from the Beachbody company. It combines high-volume aerobic exercise with light resistance training and a healthy, balanced eating plan. Unlike most fast weight loss 'solutions' Slim in 6 does not promise results without a good amount of effort on your part. In fact, the most important thing to know about this program is that you will work your butt off - literally - due to the six-days-a-week workout routine.

Here are the major benefits associated with this 6-week slimming program (taken directly from the Slim in 6 web site):

• 'Reshape' your body
• Lose up to 20 pounds
• Lose up to 7 inches from your waist and hips
• Lose up to 10 inches from your thighs

Benefits

Probably the best things about the Slim in 6 program is the fact that, compared to other quick weight loss products, it's much safer and better for your overall health. The eating plan provided in the package is sensible and doesn't involve any ultra-low-calorie diet suggestions. Yes, you will be eating fewer calories than normal, but most of the weight loss will come from the large amounts of exercise you'll be doing.

The exercise itself is effective because it's 'smart' exercise: circuit-training style workouts designed to amp up your metabolism while maintaining - or even slightly increasing - lean muscle mass. As with most cardio/weight combo routines, you'll burn lots of body fat during the Slim in 6 workouts - but you'll burn even more in the hours afterward due to increased HGH (human growth hormone) production and a greatly boosted metabolism.

Drawbacks

The biggest problem associated with programs like Slim in 6 is the fact that many people just can't adjust to the high-volume of exercise required. It's very easy to get burned out. When you're really motivated to slim down fast it's easy to get yourself to exercise 6 days per week. But, after the initial motivation wears off, some people begin to dread their almost-daily workouts. This is a serious problem because if you 'program' yourself to hate exercise you'll hurt your chances at long-term fitness success - even if you do lose some weight in the short-term.

A Slim in 6 Testimonial

Here is one user's experience using this weight loss system:

"I own Slim in 6. Summer before last I met my best friend since we were 5yo in the city ... hadn't seen her in about 1 year (we live 3 hours away). All of a sudden I noticed that she had defined arms ... and shoulders ... and she generally looked 'firmer' ... since we've both always been short and kinda mushy (always needing to lose 5 -10 pounds) - I had to ask what changed ... and she swore it was the Slim in 6 program (combined with reduced calories) ... which I borrowed from her, then subsequently bought.

I think it works ... that said, the program is based upon 3 videos, Start it up (60 minutes), Ramp it up (50 minutes) and Burn it up (60 minutes) .... according to the program you do Start it Up for 6 consecutive days - for 1-2 weeks, then Ramp it Up for 2-4 weeks, and Burn it UP - to make up 6 weeks. Each week you work out 6 days in a row, rest one day. The program also pushes their supplements (which I don't buy into) and a 'sensible eating plan' ...

As for the Slim in 6 exercise tapes - I like them a lot -- not 'jumpy' - hard work - resistance work and cardio - and they make me sweat ... alot."

Bottom Line

Slim in 6 works because it doesn't leave anything to chance. With this program you have a structured, step-by-step plan for achieving a significant amount of weight loss in a very short period of time. Everything you need is included: guided exercise routines, a healthy eating plan, motivational support, and even supplement suggestions.

However, it's important not to shoot yourself in the foot. Basically, if you start to feel really burned out from all the exercise, back off a bit! Take an extra day or two off. You might end up losing only 18 pounds instead of 20. But you also won't teach your brain to hate exercise - a BIG mistake many people make on intense weight loss programs. Remember, a program like Slim in 6 is only truly effective if it helps you get a jump-start on a successful long-term fitness plan.
