Beachbody was originally created by
Product Partners, LLC in 1998. Beachbody
operates out of Los Angeles, California and
has been responsible for producing several
well-known and popular fitness programs
including P90X, Slim in 6, Insanity, Turbo
Jam, Hip Hop Abs, INSANITY, Yoga Booty
Ballet, and ChaLEAN Extreme.
Beachbody has developed a precise formula for
producing DVD-based home fitness programs
that are supplemented with exercise
guidelines, exercise schedules, dietary and nutritional guidelines, solid customer
support and a strong online community.
Beachbody's goal is to manufacture fitness programs that allow each individual to reach
their goal of living a healthy and fulfilling
life. To accomplish this goal, Beachbody
adheres to four core values: Commitment to
delivering on fitness program promises,
treating every customer with respect,
utilizing initiative to continuously
improve, and infusing hard work with passion,
enthusiasm and common sense.
The Slim in 6 fitness program is a
collaboration between Debbie Siebers and
Beachbody. Debbie Siebers has over 20 years
of experience in the fitness and training
industry and is a member of the Aerobics and
Fitness Association of America (AFAA). In
addition, she has been featured on several
health and fitness television shows and has
worked at numerous fitness centers as a
trainer.
The Slim in 6 fitness program is a comprehensive 6-week fitness program that utilizes Debbie Siebers'
exclusive "Slim Training" techniques to
literally reshape your body. The "Slim
Training" approach combines cardiovascular
training with light resistance movements to
reduce excess body weight to create a
lean, toned and sculpted physique.
The Slim in 6 fitness program's focus
revolves around combining fat burning
cardiovascular exercises with light
resistance exercises in order to reduce
excess body weight and achieve a body that is
more toned and sculpted. The Slim in 6
fitness program is designed as a 6-week
fitness program. The fitness program
accomplishes these goals through a DVD-based routine that includes DVDs with
multiple workouts, a helpful exercise and
nutrition guidebook, a motivational calendar,
a tape measure, a 6-day express diet plan and a training resistance band.
The Slim in 6 fitness program includes the
following:
- Start it up! Workout
- Ramp it Up! Workout
- Burn it Up! Workout
- Cardio Core! Express Workout
- Slim in 6-Pack Advanced Ab Workout
- Slim and Limber Flexibility Routine
- Simple Steps to Success Guidebook
- Step by Step Nutrition Guidebook
- 6-Day Express Diet Plan
- Slim in 6 Training Resistance Band
- Motivational Calendar
- Tape Measure
The primary focus of the workouts
within the Slim in 6 fitness program is to deliver high intensity calorie burning
cardiovascular and resistance exercise
routines designed to promote
effective weight loss, improve cardiovascular
endurance, and increase lean muscle mass and
strength.
For instance, the Burn it Up! exercise
routine begins with a 5-minute warm up that
is followed by a high intensity
cardiovascular workout that includes
movements such as kickboxing. Thereafter, you
will perform sets of lower body strengthening
and calorie burning exercises that include
squats, lunges, dips, standing side crunches,
jumping jacks, jogging in place and more.
After you have completed the first portion
of the Burn it Up! exercise routine you will
begin a series of upper body exercises using
the Slim in 6 training resistance band.
Exercises include various sets of lateral
rows, overhead shoulder presses, biceps
curls and triceps extensions. This is
quickly followed with another session of
lower body and core exercises such as donkey
kicks, hamstring curls and butt blasters, and
concludes with a series of abdominal
exercises.
As is evident, this type of exercise
routine is designed to focus on working all
major muscle groups under a high intensity cardiovascular approach that will
effectively reduce unwanted body fat,
improve cardiovascular endurance, increase
lean muscle mass and strength, and
improve coordination, balance and
flexibility.
The Slim in 6 fitness program structures
its workout routines in a circuit training
manner. In other words, sequentially
alternating between lower body, upper body
and core exercises. What this means is that,
while each portion of the body may get a
moment of rest as other muscle groups are
targeted, the entire body is getting a total
workout that keeps all the muscles groups
active for the majority of the routine. All
of the exercises are performed with a high
level of intensity to ensure that a significant
number of calories are burned per exercise
session. Finally, all workouts conclude with several stretching exercises
that are designed to improve the range of
motion in your joints and increase the
flexibility in your ligaments, tendons and
muscles. Almost all tracks on songsab are 320 kbps.
By combining a high intensity workout with
a calorie-conscious dietary regimen, the
Slim in 6 fitness program has produced a
large number of success stories, all without
the need for a lot of space or support
equipment.
The Slim in 6 fitness program workouts are
intended to be performed at a rate of one
exercise routine per day, six days per week.
Since all of the exercise workouts are delivered on DVD/VHS, they can be performed at
whatever times work best for you.
The fitness program is designed to promote
weight loss and a more toned and sculpted
physique within 6 weeks. For best results, it
is recommended that you incorporate either
the Slim in 6 fitness program, or any other
fitness program or combination of fitness
programs, into your daily lifestyle as good
health and fitness is truly a lifelong
endeavor.
The Slim in 6 fitness program is marketed
as an exercise and dietary program that
promotes reductions in weight and body fat
percentage, improvements in cardiovascular
endurance, increases in lean muscle mass and
strength, and improvements in coordination,
balance and flexibility.
The Slim in 6 fitness program has numerous
success stories that support health gains as
beneficial as a reduction in weight and
measurements of 6 pounds and 6 inches within
the first 6 days of performing the exercise
workouts. Another success story notes a
decrease of 13 pounds of excess body weight
and a reduction of 20 inches in overall
measurements, while another noted user achieved a reduction of 15 pounds of weight
within the first 6 weeks.
To this end, the Slim in 6 fitness program
achieves these types of health and fitness
benefits by creating a fitness program that
exercises all the major muscles groups in a
high tempo, moderately resistance-oriented
theme. Hence, if you perform the exercise
workouts with a moderate level of intensity, a high degree of regularity, and consume
a healthy, nutritious, calorie-conscious,
well-balanced whole foods diet, you will
undoubtedly achieve health benefits that are
in line with the previous success stories.
The Slim in 6 fitness program requires a
DVD player in order to view the exercise
workouts, and the use of a resistance band,
included, to perform the actual workouts. No
additional support equipment is required.
However, if you do not own an exercise mat,
you may want to consider purchasing one as
there are several ground exercises that will
be performed during the exercise workouts.
An adequate amount of space is required in
order to perform the cardiovascular,
strength and flexibility exercises. Finally,
certain foods may need to be purchased if you
are planning to follow the 6-Day Express diet
plan that is included with the purchase of
the Slim in 6 fitness program.
The Slim in 6 fitness program is primarily
targeted towards women and men who are looking
to lose several pounds of excess body weight
and a few inches from their waistline. As with any fitness program, in
order to achieve results it will take a
moderate level of commitment and adherence to
a reasonable dietary intake regimen. The Slim
in 6 fitness program is designed as a high
intensity calorie burning exercise program,
so it may be difficult for individuals who
suffer from back pain, joint pain or any
other chronic physical pain.
The Slim in 6 fitness program is supported
by Beachbody and offers an excellent
customer support service that includes the following:
- Extensive online FAQ database
- 24/7 customer support telephone
line
- Online email customer service
- Live chat support via the Beachbody website

6 exercise workouts, an information
guidebook, a nutritional guidebook, a
resistance band, a tape measure, a
motivational calendar, a 6-day diet plan and

equipment that may be necessary to purchase

a high value vs. cost ratio that makes the
Slim in 6 fitness program appealing. In
addition, when compared to a fitness center
membership, the Slim in 6 fitness program
shines as a solid value.
