***The Challenge***** (figured I'd better post it in here because it's bound to get lost in the Exercise Challenge forum with all the 6WEC posts)
Yep, ladies. Here we are with another recruit attempt!
I know I've been singing the praises of Slim In Six to the Low Carb Community for over 3 years now! To this day it's still the program I go back to when I need something to seriously reshape my body and kick my butt into gear.
There are a *lot* of us here on the board that have the Slim In Six program or have very recently ordered it and are anticipating delivery on it in the next week. So? What are we waiting for?!! LETS DO THIS!!
The Challenge:
To go the full six weeks using the Slim In Six program and report in daily.
The Über Challenge:
To go the full 6 days a week for 6 weeks using the Slim In Six program and report in daily.
Check-Ins/Whine Fest:
We will start a thread in the Exercise Forum titled "Si6 Vidiots- The House of Pain". This way we have a common 'house' to whine in, and whine we will people. Whine we will! We'll keep the same thread alive throughout the challenge so we can all go back and see how far we've come in 6 measley weeks!
Requirements:
You must take BEFORE pictures. They must be a front shot, a back shot, and a side shot. You do not have to post these pictures to start out with, but there will be an expectation to see them along with your AFTERS side by side at the end of 6 weeks.
Take a start picture in whatever you're comfy taking a start picture in, but nothing that hangs, ladies! You can't see changes if you can't see YOU!
**If the members of the Si6 Vidiots decide to show their befores and afters just within the membership of the Vidiots, we will set up a way to do that amongst ourselves privately. Fair enough?!
You must take your measurements. Again, you do not have to post these in the thread for God and everyone to see, but you will be expected to take weekly measurements and post your inches lost/gained/etc.
When do we start?!:
Let's start when we get them! That should put most of us within a week or so of each other. If we wait too long we're going to wind up carrying all the way through Christmas - Unless, of course, you're all okay with that?!! INPUT PLEASE AND WE'LL EDIT THIS TOMORROW WHEN EVERYONE HAS CHIMED IN!
So what if I'm at a different level than everyone else?
Everyone start where they need to and work at which ever level video they need to. Those of us that have dealt with the "Squat ****" know that trying to go too far too fast will leave you feeling like a one legged man in an @ss kicking contest. Some have the newer Start It Up that's only 25 minutes long, some have the old version which is 56 minutes (or something like that).
*If you have the new version, stick to the 3-5 days of Start It Up and then bump to Ramp It Up.
*If you have the old version, stick to the first week of Start It Up and bump up to Ramp It Up for the beginning of week 2.
*If you're already familiar with the program and are comfy, dive right in with Ramp It Up.
**There will be NO expectation that you move to the next video at a certain time. These are tough workouts, and we each need to progress through them at a level we're each comfortable at. If you never make it past Start It Up in the 6 weeks, COOL! Don't ever pop in Burn It Up? COOL! Work at your own pace!!**
What equipment does the program require?
*Heart
*Dedication
*Willingness to swear at a TV (even in the presense of small children if necessary).
*3 or 5lb dumb bells or a Light to Medium Resistance Band. (I'd recommend Light if this is your first time through.) They use resistance bands in the videos, but 3 or 5lb dumb bells are just fine!
*Water.
*A towel. You're ~going~ to sweat. A lot.
*I'd recommend a fan!
Are you going to make us put this in our signatures like the "Butt Cheeks That Can Crack Walnuts Crew" stuff?
Umm, duh. Yes.
The program is designed to be worked 6 days a week for 6 weeks. That's 36 workouts.
Some have talked about doing Slim In Six in conjunction with other programs they're doing, i.e. running. If that's how you choose to join us, COOL! We'll take you! If you're committing to 4 days a week, then that's 24 workouts in 6 weeks. 3 days a week? That's 18 workouts. I'm sure you can all do the math here!
If someone gets real graphics creative, cool beans, we'll use that. If not, let's just add "SI6 Vidiots: 1/36 workouts DONE!" and we'll link it to either here or our House of Pain. Fair enough?!
Questions? Comments? Suggestions? Sign ups?
Here's the place to post them!
LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!

Well ladies, here it is. For those of us that are getting a jump on the challenge we've now got our HoP to whine, complain, moan, groan, lament, and bit..err, well, ya know . We've also got a place to celebrate, brag and hum the theme to Rocky!!
Welcome to the SI6 Vidiots- House of Pain!
I've been doing some homework and looking for tips/tricks/advice specific to the Slim In Six Program and I've come up with some pretty great stuff. Those of us that have gone through the program before will have some tips for the Si6 Newbies too and I'd really like to see us exchanging those things with each other to help ensure we ALL cross that Si6 finish line lookin' and feelin' way better and stronger than we started. I can't WAIT!!
*****I'd really like to see tips/tricks/advice put in a larger, bold, colored font so that they stand out and are easy to scan for as we blow this thread up!******
Here's the first one I'm going to throw out there for you all!

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT STOP THE PROGRAM BECAUSE YOU ARE SORE! That is a common mistake people make when beginning an exercise program. You will get sore, but I promise that the worst thing you can do is to skip a workout. You need to work through the stiffness by getting your blood circulating again. It might be tough in the beginning, but the best thing is to get the blood circulating back into those muscles. You will actually feel better after the workout. You’ll recover faster and get stronger each and every day. Just don’t forget to stretch at the end of each workout. The more sore you are, the longer you should stretch. That will really help in the beginning to reduce soreness. Also try icing particularly sore areas and taking hot baths with Epsom salts. This really helps.
