Need your honest opinions please (long)

  • Haven't posted for awhile but I know you people are the best for asking questions I am the type of person who gets bored very easily with exercise so I purchased the Slim in 6 program by Debbie Spiers. I am on week 3 and have missed a few workouts this week because quite frankly I am getting so tired of popping in the same workout every day plus it is quite difficult. Now, I know in order to get results I need to put some effort into it I get that but I just don't know if this is the program for me. You workout out 6 days a week, using no weights just resistance bands and the idea behind the workout is working with no weights every day with prevent bulk up and just tone. Now, I know women can't bulk up lifting heavy weights but I am feeling exhausted with this program. Anyone familiar with this or have completed the program? I think my thighs are slimming down but quite frankly I can't imagine doing this workout for another month!!! I just want something that I can see results quickly. With traditional weight training I don't see quick results which in turn led me to this program. HELP!!!
  • I have that program and I used 3 and 5lb weights as I didn't have the bands. I saw a difference in my arms and shoulders.
    I'm one who gets bored as well, so I just mix up all my workouts. Maybe that's what you should do.
  • It doesn't matter what you do as long as you do something regularly. Do you have any other tapes or DVD's, you can switch them up, give yourself some variety. Even just go for a walk or run some days. I wouldn't be able to do the same thing for six weeks either.

    As for the being very tired ... what's your calorie deficit. Maybe you need to pump up the protein.
