I need a huge favor. I am wanting to start doing some of the Slim Series rotations. The only problem is that I've lost my book that lists the various rotations you can do with this program. I have looked everywhere and can't find it and I definitely can't remember all of the rotations. If someone has the book would you mind posting the rotation choices or if you know where I can find them would you please let me know? I'd really appreciate the help. I'm lost without my book.;( Thanks in advance.

I am one of those people that LOVE this series!! It really shakes things up!! I am currently doing a SS rotation on one day, and cardio the next!! I listen to my own music, but mainly I been doing it to a book on tape (LOVE doing it that way) Good luck with your rotation!

Thanks for the rotation post. I've done a slim series rotation in the past with some additional cardio thrown in and I loved the results. My cousin is getting married in a couple of months in St. Thomas and I want to look good for the wedding. I'll let you all know my results when I'm done. Thanks again.

I would recommend NOT following this rotation. I tried it, and after 2 weeks, ended up having overuse problems in my elbows and knees. Even Debbie Siebers doesn't recommend using them this way,when people ask her. Instead, put a cardio day in between, or follow a modified version that gives you more lower body, and decreases the upper body (I'd also recommend substituting her 'double-time' moves with single-time moves, as they seem particularly tough on the joints).
Try spreading it out over a longer time period, something like this:
Day 1: Shape it up
Day 2: Firm it up
Day 3: Cardio
Day 4: Tone it up
Day 5: Cardio
Day 6: Cool it off
Day 7: Tear it up
Day 8: Firm it up
Day 9: cardio
Day 10: Mix it up
Day 11: Stretch
Then repeat
(You could actually do Shape/Tone/Tear/Mix in any of the slots. Putting them back-to-back with Firm it Up (the lower-body-only workout) spares the upper body some, but gives you the Freestyle-type technique. You could also do a bit more intense rotation, like this:
Day 1`: Shape it up (again, any of the workouts besides Firm and Cool woult fit here)
Day 2: Firm it up
Day 3: Tone it up
Day 4: Cool it Off
Day 5: Tear it up
Day 6: Firm it up
Day 7: Mix it up
Day 8: Rest or stretch (Or if you MUST have a 7-day week ;-), then omit Firm it up on day 6, do Mix instead, and use day 7 as rest/stretch)

This thread talks about the Slim Series results, check it out. I am starting week four of the Slim Training, the results are the best I have ever gotten, and I have not change my diet, I eat clean most of the time. I am getting more lean and cut. P90x and Gym Style made me bulky, my aim now is a slim tone physique, and the Slim Series works. I have not injuries, I am doing it by the book, for some reason some ladies that added more cardio didn't get the WOW results, as the ladies that follow the by the book rotations. I will take a recovery week and do another rotation, the book has several rotations depending on what results you are looking for. I had overlooked this series thinking that it would be too easy, but it is not. My mistake was comparing it to Slim in 6 which is the beginner version.
