This is my favorite video in the Slim in 6 series. It was long, hard, fun, straightforward and just a great workout. I am one of those people who enjoys Debbie as an instructor and likes the Slim Series (which I started with) a great deal. I have done Start It Up and Ramp It Up from the Slim in 6 Series. Burn It Up is the most difficult of the three. It had more repetitions and different moves (although many were similar to the ones in the prior videos). I used light weights during the cardio portions of the other videos, but did not in Burn It Up. It wasn't necessary. I was working hard, sweating and enjoying the movements which are simple, repetitive and no-nonsense. If you want variety in choreography and get bored with basic moves (but ones that are intense) this is not the workout for you, but if you want your workouts served up clean and hard and that are sufficient targets for each muscle group, then Burn It Up is for you! The BUN BURNERS at the end are killers. Each side was worked out (right and left legs) for almost 4 minutes. A long pushup segment was at the end of each leg segment. The video format is warmup, cardio (including standing abs and legs via lunges and squats), upper body weight training (they used tubes, I used 8 lb. dumbells), lower body work, floor work for legs/glutes, abs and stretch. Overall, a good, hard, SOLID workout. I enjoyed it.

Instructor Comments:
I really like Debbie's personality and smile. She is very pleasant, friendly, nonintimidating and motivating throughout. She is not chatty like Charlene, but does keep talking and counting throughout. Sometimes her cuing comes on too quickly, but it did not bother me. What I really like is that she kept most movements slow and controlled.
