Ramp It Up is the second in the Slim In 6 series. It kicks the intensity up a notch from Start It Up. The pace is faster. Debbie adds another set of reps to most of the resistance band exercises. Table work for the glutes and hamstrings is added to the floor work. The floor ab section is longer and has more variety. Instead of just walking in place, Debbie has a couple short sections of light jogging.

I’d say this workout would qualify as a high beginner/low intermediate level. It’s about 50 minutes in length.

This is the most boring of all the Slim Series/Slim In 6 workouts. I can’t exactly say why. I do the floor abs on my resistance ball. I skip the BeachBody pseudo-yoga at the end and either do my own thing or my fave stretch, Slim & Limber.

Instructor Comments:
Debbie is fun and encouraging. She isn't quite as motivating in this workout as in others in the series.

But, as always, friendly and upbeat.
