Carmen Electra: Aerobic Striptease [DVD]
K**T
Striptease
Well, me and my friend had such a laugh doing this video. I bought it for two reasons: 1) as a new way to exercise and 2) well, it was coming up to valentines day, and my partner had put in a request, let's just leave it as that.I had been on you tube to see if anybody had any tips to doing a strip tease, and lucked upon a clip of this dvd. It's basically 3 routines on one dvd, with the ability to change music to your taste. I didn't use Carmen's routine, but i certainly did use some of her moves. I hadn't really heard of her, but found her really fun to watch, and not at all patronising. I do suggest doing this with a friend, because she gave me tips on what i was doing wrong. Or of course, you could always do it in front of a mirror.honestly, if you watch this dvd with a light-heartedness you will get a lot out of it. if you're a little bit more serious about aerobics and/or stripping, then keep on searching, this isn't the dvd for you.hope you find this useful.

Gets you into aerobics alright
I am not a fan of aerobics. Tried it twice or thrice in my life and never managed to get into the rythm and quitted soon after. Nonetheless, I enjoy other sports and I am in quite good physical shape.The DVD - first of the series - is quite good and it is no more than what it advertises: good workout, a bit difficult in the beginning, but the more you practice, the easier it is. At start, was completely lost with all the fast moves, but two or three more practice sessions and I was quite good at it and enjoyed it.And as of strip, well, it has some interesting moves, but it essentially gets you in shape and puts some extra attitude on top of yours. Do not expect miracles, it will all depend on how you see it. However, got my husband a bit "itchy" with all my training :) and this was some fun effect!Ah, important, the DVD is quite short - about 30 minutes - and you will find yourself after two or three weeks practice with some space and need for the second one, as you get easily bored to practice the same two dances + warm up.

A good starter for 5
I was a little dubious at first when a friend said i should try Carmen's Dvd. The last thing anyone wants is some baywatch babe strutting around in a tiny little gym outfit thats about the size of a hanky (especially when you have over indulged at christmas and feel more like a beached whale than baywatch babe.) But i decided to pull out my purse pull on my tracksuit bottoms and just give it a go. I bit the bullet and bought disc 1& 2.Carmen is not a woman after my own heart But there she was slogging it out right along with us mere mortals. (Although i did find her giggling annoying.)Disc one Carmen does three rountines (all low impact. So don't expect to sweat) I found that it was fun and easy and especially hilarious if you have two left like (like i do). You'll enjoy it if you don't take yourself or the work out to seriously.Disc 2 Carmen sweats it out right along with us. (Although much to my annoyance her make stay on perfectly)These Fitness Dvd's are fun to do so i'd recommend them so much so in fact that i have bought disc 3 just so the regime doesn't get repetative. Honest.

just so much fun.
I recently purchased this product whilst looking for a way to increase exercise and also have fun as I am just one of those people who finds repetition at the gym boring. From the moment the DVD started it was informal and flirty without the added pressure of needing to already be physically fit as I have found with some fitness DVD's. Carmen leads and she is just brilliant, puts you at ease straight away and makes you feel like the workout is just a dance routine with a group of friends.There are three routines, one is a simple yet effective warm up which teaches the basic steps and the other two build on the first, gradually getting more difficult but still doable. The steps are clear and well explained making getting confused difficult, even for someone as uncoordinated as myself! The routines themselves increased my heart rate and I really felt some of the stretches, however I am under no allusions that for an advanced dancer or someone looking for a strenuous cardiovascular workout this will be too easy and unsuitable.I enjoyed all the routines and really did have fun! By the end of the DVD (which is roughly 50mins), although a little sweaty, you feel flirty and confident. If I executed the routines even a quarter as sexy as Carmen did it was worth buying!!! I would really recommend it for someone trying to add gentle exercise to their lifestyle or for someone looking for fun routines which boost confidence.

good.
Not really much of a workout in it but great moves to be learned recommend more as dance tutorial than workout. However I do give it massive points for the fact that you can actually change the music to another type such as rock , which if only dvds would have.

Beginners luck...
It does ease you into the basics and introduces you to the fitness benefits of seductive striptease. However if you struggle with confidence and self-esteem it could take a while to ease into it! :/

It's okay
Got this fitness dvd and it's okay.Can be quite hard to get into I feel but Carmen Electra isn't that hard to listen to compared with some fitness dvd's i've bought in the past.
