Carmen Electra's Aerobic Striptease

I loved the first disc so much I ended up buying the whole 5 disc set and gave this single disc to my sister-in-law. After gaining 70lbs with my first pregancy I was able to lose 85lbs (after delivering baby, about 55 actual pounds of fat YUCK) using the stretching routine from disc one and the Aerobic workout from disc 2 (along with eating some what healthy, a stroller jogging once or twice a weeek :-) I started the routine about three months after delivering and while my son took his naps I would exercise. The stretching routine is about 15min. and the whole Aerobic workout takes about 45 min.I just had my second child and am ready to break out the routine again to get the baby weight back off. Discs 4 & 5 are okay, but I really haven't used them much (my husband is kinda bummed about that!) He got one good night of fun with it, but it ended shortly afer it started! (I had the disc playing for the music and he wasn't suppose to look at the TV, but he did while I was in the middle of a dip and he said (in a sweet yet concerned voice) "Carmen didn't do it like that" THAT WAS THE END OF MY ATTEMPT. :-) He learned to keep his mouth shut and not compare my way to Carmen's way after that and I learned to use different music!!One major flaw is in disc 2 during the aerobic work out, someone mis-edited a section of the routine, so you are going along and all the sudden they have switched sides and are doing something different. I usually pause it at that point and switch sides and finish that same section then press play and continue with the rountine...but it is very frustrating.But all in all a GREAT stretching routine and Aerobic work out, a some fun routines to workout your body and excite your man. I felt great once the weight was off and my body was toned!!

I just did my first run thru of Carmen's Aerobic Striptease. In all honesty--i was prepared for anything: for it to be goofy and silly, OR fun and provacative! The dance numbers are cute--not skanky-- and once you feel comfortable adding your own spice, they're fun to do! I'm just learning to incorpotate my own "spice", since it's my first time working out to it. My opinion, tho: NOT much of a cardio work out. I'll be adding this as my 20 minute "warm up" before doing my REAL workout.On another note tho--as much as i already figured Carmen is not the most articulate of gals (i mean, come on! It's Carmen Electra!), i thought she'd be more prepared to "instruct" than she appeared. In my opinion, she seemed to struggle to even describe what she was doing. For instnace-- what could've been more helpful for ME are details like "shift your weight here" or "act like you're washing your buns" or anything that's more of a description than "do this! yeah, that's good--now you've got it!--and she's a dancer, for cryin' out loud! The focusing on her face during the dance moves we the viewer were trying to learn was a tad annoying, but--let's face it! She's got the facial expressions DOWN for this kind of routine--perhaps that's what they're showing us as well.Over all--fun to fool around with, fun to perform for your man, and fun to add some extra kick into your already established club dances (like how to throw your hair, etc. My favorite!), but not what i'd consider a true "work out"...Glad i bought it tho. Once i learn the routines and can ignore her instructions, i'll be a happier camper! :o)

I had seen this DVD many times while I was in stores.I was trying so hard to lose weight.I was taking an aerobics class, pilates, and yoga at the same time, but it seemed that none of that was working, it only made my muscles bulky, which doesn't look well on a female, it's supposed to make you thin.So I decided to try this out.I did this for 3 weeks, 5 days a week, and I definetley saw results!!My thighs got slimmer, my butt got smaller, and my waist, not to mention it showed me ways to move in which I never could have before.So, not only did I lose weight, see results, but in the process I learned to dance!In the video Carmen is very comfortable talking to you, you feel like a friend and not just someone she is instructing or bossing around, she is much more personable.I actually prefer her video to an actual aerobics class.After trying this I bought DVD's 2, 3, 4, 5, and even the new one " In the bedroom".I love it!! And my boyfriend loves it too ;)

With the recent craze of striptease aerobics videos out there, I figured this one would be worth a shot.The video consists of a few different 'dance routines.' Many of these moves really aren't anything more than the same moves you would catch on any of the gajillion bellydance videos out there - and if you are just getting started on exercising, interested in the exercising/dance genre of video, I would suggest you start in the bellydancing section first.This DVD was a good low impact workout, and I did break a sweat the first few times, but the moves can be a little difficult for beginning dancers to master.On the bright side, the music to the routines wasn't bad, it was relatively low on the cheesy comments about how learning dance makes a woman a goddess, and it's actually fun. :)

I have 4 of the videos: 1, 2, 3, and 4. Of the four, I've only watched 1, 2, and 3.So far the first two are the best. In 1, the warm up is good and the two dances are really cute and easy to learn. The exercises in 2 are good, some I'd never seen before. Number 3 is ok, but a bit of a waste. All of these could have been put on 3 DVDs and been more full of information.I like that Carmen encourages you to make the dances "yours" and as I said, they're not terribly difficult. Maybe I was looking for more.An interview with Robin Antin the founder of the Pussycat Dolls and sister to Jonathan Antin of Blown Out is featured on #1 and an interview with the trainer is on #2.Enjoy.

家のDVDでは再生出来なかったのでパソコンで再生しました。収録時間は短めでした。ダンスはエロカワイイ感じで難しい動作もなくて楽しんで踊れると思います。

日本ではストリップのダンスを取り入れた、セクシーで楽しいワークアウトを教えているダンス教室は無いように思われるが、海外だと、実際にストリップダンスを教える教室もあるようだ。このカルメン・エレクトラのワークアウト・ビデオは、ストリップをやるときには欠かせないだろうヒップ、太もも、お腹をターゲットに絞ろうというものである。夏が来る前に、水着を今年こそは格好良く着こなしたい方にお勧めだ。

このＤＶＤは「ストリップダンス風の」エアロビックエクササイズを指導するためのビデオです。ですが、あくまでも「ストリップダンス風の」というだけであって、本当にストリップをするわけではなく、脱いでもせいぜいパーカー１枚のみです。　ですから当然、乳房の露出はなく、下着姿さえ拝むことはできません。　ダンスやエアロビクスの練習のためとしては、英語もわかりやすく、指導も丁寧なので大いに有用だと思います（バックダンサーの白人の方は、少々体が硬いようですが）。　ですが、題名につられて「カルメン・エレクトラのヌードが見られる」と思って買った人はがっかりするでしょう。　ここはやはり、題名を「Aerobic Dance Lesson (Striptease-like)」とでもして、誤解を招かないようにすべきです。　また、このＤＶＤは米国、カナダ向けですので、日本の普通のＤＶＤプレイヤーでは再生できず、パソコンでもリージョンの切り換えが必要となりますから、要注意です。

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.

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.
