Weight Loss

- Cardiovascular training elevates heart rate and burns calories.
- Strength training moves firm muscles, build muscle strength and increase muscle mass, which leads to a slightly elevated metabolism.
- The program stresses consistent exercise and a healthy diet.
Motivation
Whether the Slim in 6 program is effective depends on you. The system provides motivational tools and ongoing support via the website, which may help maintain motivation. If you don't follow the program, then you won't succeed. Used over the long-term, your motivation may flag as you repeat the same workout over and over and get bored, so as you progress you may want to add different types of workouts to maintain your motivation.
Time Frame
How delighted you are with your results after six weeks depends on both your dedication to following the program, and where you are when you begin. If you are significantly overweight, you may see changes after six weeks; however, it is very unlikely that you will achieve your long-term goals in a six-week time frame. Following program recommendations will most likely lead to a better level of fitness, weight loss of one to two pounds per week, and more energy.
It is important to note that planning to spend six weeks following the program and then stopping will not help you maintain your results. Exercise and diet need to be a regular lifestyle choice in order to control weight.
