Review: Moms Into Fitness 60 Day SlimDown System (& Giveaway)

2011 Resolution #2 (right after reading the Bible in 90 days) is running a marathon.  Quite the challenge considering I only re-started running a week before the year began.

One eensy weensy problem to dampen my motivation – I don’t always have someone at home to watch Esmé when I want to run, and I certainly am not up to pushing her on the run!  Solution:  keep on the fitness track with DVDs.

And that’s where Lindsay Brin’s 60 Day SlimDown System comes in.  I haven’t had it long enough to evaluate the slimming down features of it – though I’m hoping to see them soon enough.  But I have been enjoying the four DVDs already.

Synopsis: 

This Cutting Edge System will boost your metabolism and have the pounds melting off within the first 10 days. Get started today with the 3-phase Nutrition Plan any mom can follow, a detailed Fitness Calendar and Progress Tracker. Check your fitness level on Day 1 & Day 60 with the Fitness Test to see the stronger, leaner, new you.

In Phase 1 all workouts can be done in 30 minutes or less. Then in Phase 2 you will challenge your body even more so you continue to shred your core - and lose even more fat! All in 45 minutes or less. Also included, a bonus Phase 3 so you learn how to see results after the initial 60 Days.

In 60 days you will Super Charge your body for the Ultimate Slim Down. All you need is 1-2 sets of weights!

What I Like:

There is a whole lot I like, so we’ll get that bullet thing going:

• The plan is simple – no long books to read, just a 12-page outline that covers your food plan and your daily workout schedule.  I love the ease of the food plan.
• There is a maintenance or ongoing plan – Phase 3 – so you can keep going with the program after 60 days.
• Lindsay is friendly, informative, and real.  You can track her own postnatal fitness journey (2 babies, 4 IVFs) at www.lindsaybrin.com/.  Actually, right now you’ll be tracking her pregnancy with #3!
• There is lots of variety.  The Core Metabolic Jumpstart DVD is a 23-minute workout meant to boost metabolism.  The Core Firing Sequence Method DVD is just a short 7-8 minute workout (actually, three, one for each phase).  My personal favorite, the Shed Fast 5 DVD, has two half-hour routines with 3-minute intervals that keep things lively and interesting.  And the last, the Post Natal Boot Camp DVD, has tons of options that you can mix & match, or just pick a Quickstart workout.
• It fits in YOUR schedule.  While there is a recommended workout plan for the first 60 days, the DVDs are segmented so you can do several short workouts instead of one long one or mix things up.
• There are workout partners for different fitness levels.  Most of the DVDs have a beginning, intermediate, and advance workout partner you can follow.
• I love the kickboxing segments, of which there are many.  I just find them fun, energizing, and confidence-building.
• You don’t need a lot of equipment.  I have one set of light weights, and that is serving just fine.  And of course, there are no expensive foods to buy with the plan – you eat everyday, ordinary stuff.

What I Don’t Like:

Uh – exercise?  Seriously, I’m not terribly motivated when it comes to exercise, but I’m finding that this is working well – and by this time next year, I’m expecting to have that marathon (and a few less pounds) under my belt.
