Slim in 6 ?

Okay so I was up before the sun came out getting ready to get my kids up for school. I usually put the tv on to catch up on the news and weather. Instead when I came out of the shower this infomercial about slim in 6 was on. It piqued my interest. How does this compare to Cathe's workouts?
I went over to video fitness to try to get a feel for what people thought of it, but I guess what I found didn't satisfy my curosity. I am a die hard Catheite... was a Firmie maybe 4 yrs ago but have always done a Cathe workout since '96, sold all my Firms. Should I even bother to look into it?
What is it that makes these 'infomercial' people look so good and lose so much weight that fast? Is it safe? ...I know , I know it's supposed to sell beachbodies products but I'd really like to hear opinions about it from folks who know and mainly do Cathe's workouts and how it compares to Cathe.
Ok I'm done ...I'm off to do Circuit Max :)
 
Hi

I have both Slim in 6, Slim Series and Cathe workouts I personally feel that Sin6 might not be challenging enough for you as in my opinion its more for a starter or returner workout having said that the most challenging I found was Burn it Up I was a bit disappointed in Slim & Limber because its a very short stretch workout. Slim Series is the next one up more challenging more inner thigh work. Its very similar again in my opinion to the Classic Firms in style and content lots of low impact cardio and high rep light weight work. Debbie has a great style and easy manner I really like her she doesn't always get it right on what muscle is working when so that might be a trifle irratiting and the muscle is blah... very dull elevator music.

Having said that I do like the workouts as a change to Cathe there is one guy a background exerciser who really annoys me because he doesn't listen to Debbie when she corrects him and there is a girl on one of the workouts doing deadlifts who I would not recommend anyone copy I just flip into Cathe Power Hour deadlifts I can hear Cathe in my head reminding me about form.

Anyway that's my opinion hope it helps
 
Thanks for your reply. After hearing about the music part that just set it for me. Music needs to be a big motivator for me and since I grew up in the same era and area as Cathe her music is right up my alley...brings me back to my days when I used to go clubbing in NYC. LOL
I think my curosity has been quenched and I'll pass that beachbody product and save my $$$$ also heard not so good things about their customer service. Now if someone I know locally should happen to have it so I can try it just to get the feel for it then maybe and that's a big maybe
For the moment I'll stick with Cathe; she has such variety and I'm a high intensity junkie not the same as high impact mind you. :) Thanks once again.
