Re: start it up+slim&limber

Hi Carolyn, why don't you buy the vhs tape for Start it up? I think that you will like it more than the dvd version. I actually like Ramp it up a lot more than Start it up, not just because it is harder but because of the variety of moves... I especially like the squat phase. What is your workout schedule for October??

standing oblique crunches, wide squats, narrow squats, 20 pushups, lower ab crunches, laying oblique crunches (i used the stability ball here), upper ab crunches (again, i used the stability ball), followed by a few quick stretches. throughout she gave instructions and modifications for the absolute beginner. there are 2 background exercisers... a man and a woman... who are from the slim in 6 test group.after SiU, i did 'slim & limber' which is a 15 min stretch session with debbie (and two of her students) and is provided in the 'slim in 6' kit. this is a good session to add onto the slim in 6 workouts, or any other workout for that matter. again, i played my own music. all of the slim in 6 and slim series workouts provide the option to turn the workout's music OFF so that you can use your own.tomorrow (monday) is my shopping/errands day so i normally have trouble getting a workout in. so i have

scheduled a rest/stretch day... however, if i do have time, i will do cardio plus 'slim & 6 pk' (the ab workout from slim in 6). if not, then that will be tuesday's workout.:*carolyn.

hi jen ! i actually saw the vhs at goodwill (i got 'keep it up'

there) but i wasnt sure if it was the short or long version, so i put

it back. i really should have bought it just in case. i will

probably go there again tomorrow and will look for it again. i would

really rather have the long version... the one that you have. ah

well, SiU is scheduled only once in the rotation, so it isnt like i

will have to do the mini-SiU repeatedly.
