Slim in 6 from Beach Body

Slim in 6 is a 6 week diet and exercise program from BeachBody. Slim in 6 is very well known due to the infomercial format used to advertise the program.

The program is mostly the work of Debbie Seibers, who has been involved in the fitness industry for some time. Upon joining BeachBody, she went on to develop a number of videos and programs. These eventually culminated in the Slim in 6 program.

Slim in 6 outline

Slim in 6 is predominantly a fitness program. Priced at a total of $60, it comprises 5 DVDs/Videos, a well-presented printed journal, nutrition guide, and 6-Day diet plan (that is normally sold as a separate item).

With Slim in Six, you have to be prepared for a lot of aerobic exercise and strength training. It's a big commitment - but many people report success with this format. A strong aerobic component is an excellent part of any weight loss program, but there is a possibility that it could be too much for some. Whilst aerobic exercise can be done daily (or more), with resistance (weight) training you often need more than 24 hours for your muscles to recover.

Can Slim in 6 give you a "Beach Body" ?

Like any program advertised using infomercials, there are loads of fitness models to be seen. For a fair number of people, the type of body seen in the ads is unobtainable from a 6 week program.

However if you follow the program there is no doubt that weight loss will occur. Exercising 5 out of 6 days, along with a balanced low fat diet must cause fat loss (provided you are free from any nutritional disorders).

Slim in 6 is an good aggressive program - but it will not suit everyone. If you are a person that struggles with motivation to exercise, or are not comfortable going to a gym, or have a difficult schedule - the video format may help. The price of Slim in 6 compares well with other programs of its kind.
