I love Slim Series too! No, I don't care for the music or the bad form of the background people, but I LOVE Debbie herself. Her demeanor is so pleasant and gently motivating.
Like was previously said, I can "zone out" for Slim Series; sometimes I need a break from the intense choreography and especially from constant equipment changes in other videos. I do a Slim Series week from time to time when I want to work semi-hard with minimal equipment. I find myself always going back to them. I can't vouch for any results, since I only do 1 week at a time, but I always feel slight DOMS whenever I do them. |

I did a SS rotation a few summers ago, and didn't gain any strength or lose any real inches; more of a simple maintenance type thing.
I love the simplicity and cardio factor I get with SS. I use them during "active rest weeks", such as the current week between STS Meso 2 and Meso 3. I did the first 40 minutes of Shape It Up on Monday and did 60 minutes of Tear It Up yesterday. I also did yoga and treadmill running during the week, but no lifting. I think Slim Series workouts are great for when I want to do some nontraditional steady state cardio. I don't consider them strength workouts at all, but a way to mix it up, keep it simple, and burn some calories when I don't want to (or can't) run or lift heavy. Great for vacation workouts when I don't have any equipment. Sandi |

Is this the correct rotation for the Slim Training?
Shape It Up Firm It Up Mix It Up Tone It Up Cool If Off Tear It Up Rest It sounds tough, I was thinking of adding a Leslie workout on alternate days.

I traded Shape It Up and will never forgive myself. I got great results with this rotation. The only drawback ... they are LONG. I usually stop after 45 minutes when I feel all my muscles have been worked.
Debbie is great!

Why do them as a rotation? Especially if you get burned out on doing them over and over.
As some of you know, I don't do rotations of anything, and this is a perfect example of why that works for me. I do an SS workout every now and then, then move on to something else. I really think my long term results and motivation success are because I don't make myself follow a set plan.
