Many of my clients often ask me for recommendations for an effective home exercise program. They want the results they get from their time in the gym with their personal trainer, but due to busy and hectic lifestyles, they need something they can do at home at their convenience. For several years, I have highly recommended the Debbie Siebers Slim in 6 program because it is not only convenient, but highly effective and designed exclusively for women. I’ve seen many women get dramatic results from this program, exercising indoors for just 40-60 minutes a day.

The Slim in 6 program revolves around Debbie Siebers’ “slim training” technique, which combines fat-burning cardio with some light resistance exercises that keep you from bulking up while you lose weight fast. Because this program is designed for women, it targets the midsection but has a dramatic weight loss effect on arms, thighs, abs, and hips in just six weeks.

The program consists of three main workouts: Start!, Accelerate! and burn it! These workouts range from 25 minutes in the case of “Start it up!” all the way up to 60 minutes with “Burn it!” exercise.

The great thing about this program is that it comes with two additional DVD workouts. One of them focuses on your abs while the other works on your flexibility. In addition to the bonus workouts, the program also comes with a nutrition guide, a motivational calendar to keep you on track, a tape measure so you can see your results right away, online support, an express diet plan, in case you you’re looking to give your weight loss a big boost, workout band and more.

One of the reasons I recommend Slim in 6 is because it’s cheap and effective. Last time I checked, this program costs less than $60. Compare that to a personal trainer or gym membership and you’ll be miles ahead. Plus, unlike the gym, where you just have to decide what to do next, Debbie Siebers becomes her personal trainer, showing her how to lose 25 pounds or more in that 6-week period.

Slim in 6 is about losing weight, not bulking up.
