I'm really hoping that it jumpstarts my metablism. hi rachelle - ive found that SLIM SERIES is so different than the training that we usually do that it does seem to shock the body. i mean that SS is light weight/high rep and normally you are probably lifting heavier with THE FIRM and CATHE. however even though ive done a couple of slim training rotations, im not sure that i like the thought of walking the fine line of over-training with these workouts. i think that the workouts are great... and i think that debbie siebers is great... but i still think that muscles are owed some rest time between workouts. for those who dont know what im talking about, slim training is all about using light weights every day, 6 days a week. one of the current rules of fitness is to give muscles at least 24 hours to recover and rebuild in between weighted sessions. beachbody claims that it is ok to use the slim series workouts every day because the light weights dont work your muscles to failure/exhaustion and therefore, the 24 hour rule doesnt apply. however, i find that the SS workouts are tough!! and that i do reach failure/exhaustion with all of the reps while i use the same poundage as the instructor. so, what im doing in my next slim series rotation is alternating those workouts with advanced taebo. since there is not much pure aerobic activity in the SS, i think that taebo will complement the workouts nicely. i will be starting my next 4 week SS/TAEBO rotation in september. -carolyn. moderator slimseries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Hi Carolyn, I just started the SI6 series Sunday, but I am feeling that I'm not getting enought cardio. I would be interested in seeing the rotation you develop with taebo. Thanks.

Thanks. hi kim - sorry... im not using slim in 6 but slim series. they are two different sets of workouts. all that im going to do with the slim series workouts is to alternate them with taebo... one day slim series, one day advanced taebo. perhaps you can do that with the slim in 6 workouts too. -carolyn.
