Slim in Six

Admit it. You know it's happened to you as well. One minute you're flipping through channels trying to find cartoons for your kid - the next, you're sitting on the couch engrossed in an informercial and thinking "wow - I could use that!"

My infomercial experience ended with stretchy exercise bands and a work-out program called Slim in Six - which claims to transform you body in six weeks. As is tradition with most infomercial purchases, I placed the program on a shelf, intending to get to it shortly, and dusted it off a year and a half later.

The amazing thing is - the program is working! I recently admitted that I will never make it to the gym to exercise, and when I remembered my long neglected infomercial purchase, I decided to give it a try on my own schedule and in my own way. Instead of transforming my body in six weeks, I decided a cardio workout 2-3 times a week would be useful and doable . . . and much to my surprise, I'm getting amazing results!

I will admit that I occasionally yell things at the T.V. (like "how come none of you are breathing hard?") . . . but overall, I am pleased with how things are going, and I can actually see new muscle definition.

Hooray for exercise!!! (And I think several members of my family just disowned me.)
