Slim in 6: Slim & Limber

Debbie Siebers
Year Released: 2003

Categories: Athletic Stretch


I was lucky enough to find a Si6 2-DVD set at a used book sale for just $3!  Although I had previously tried several of the Slim Series workouts and had found them to be somewhat boring, being the vidiot that I am, I couldn't pass up such a great deal. ;)  Plus, many had mentioned that Slim & Limber in particular was a great stretch workout.

Slim & Limber is a 14-minute stretching routine that is filmed in the same indoor studio as Debbie's other workouts.  Debbie leads two background exercisers, Tracy and Greg; she does not mirror cue.  Debbie wears sneakers for this routine and performs the majority of it (9 minutes) on the floor, focusing mainly on stretching the hamstrings and the inner thighs. For the final few minutes, she comes to a standing position and stretches the waist, upper body, and neck; in general, the stretches are held for an adequate length of time.

Overall, I'm not sure that this routine is deserving of rave reviews--I think I would still prefer to do Classical Stretch myself--but it is certainly a well-done athletic stretching routine performed in a short amount of time.
