Carmen Electra's Aerobic Striptease Series

Summary: Somewhat effective, but not what I thought it would be
Review: After using the dvds a few times now...I definately am feeling better and more toned. It's a lot of fun to learn the routines, but I guess when I purchased the Dvds I thought I'd be doing one long fitness routine. In actuality..the dvds are short segments of instuction and routine run-through. Here's a run down of each of the 5 Dvds.

Disc #1: (Strip Your Way to Fitness) Has a good warm up routine that shows up on each of the 5 discs so that you are doing the same routine before each "workout". This disc also has a couple of dance routines that are very short. I think the point is to do the step-by-step learning part over and over to get the workout...the actual routines alone are not a work out...they are only a couple mins. long.

Disc #2: (Fit to Strip) Is probably the disc I'll end up using the most. It is total body toning targeting hips bun and abs...the problem with this is that it's only a 30 min workout and by the time you feel it or the exercise begins to take effect...they are on to the next exercise. I do feel better after doing the exercises, but I'll probably end up pausing the dvd so that I can do a lot more sets of each exercise to get some results.

Disc #3: (Advanced Aerobic Striptease) This is probably the most useless dvd in the whole set. She shows you a sexy librarian routine and a hat-tie-men's shirt routine that are each only a few minutes long! There was no need to put all of these little routines on separate dvds...

Disc #4: (The Lap Dance) Why did they put this one lonely routine on one dvd? To make more money I'm sure, but this could've easily been put on Disc #3

Disc #5: (Hip Hop) Usefull** Includes the dancer's warm up and a hip hop routine that is great cardio.

This 5-Dvd set is not exactly what I thought it would be. It's a fun idea that's helped motivate me to exercise, but expect to get your results from the "Instructional" portions of the dvd because the actual routines are each only a few minutes long.

Summary: I LOVE this series!
Review: The routines are easily broken down to teach you what you need to learn, it has a great warm up and then slowly shows you the steps. You can repeat the instruction part as many times as you like until you learn it, because that is its own chapter. If you are wanting more of a cardio workout then just repeat the routines more than once not only to get your heartbeat up but just to get it down better.

I love this series, its fun, completely unique and different and just something great to throw into a usual routine.

One other thing, Im 9 months pregnant and having a huge belly is a little challenging (to say the least) to do some of the midsection moves. But if I can do it then someone who doesnt have a watermellon for a belly should definatley be able to learn! When my baby is born look out! I cant wait to be able to control that section better.

Its awesome, seriously one of the best workout series Ive come across in a long time. Pregnant or not.

Summary: SO MUCH FUN!!!!
Review: My best friend and I work out together with this series and we look forward to it each time. Carmen is beautiful and inspiring. I feel like I'm in dance class, not just doing boring exercises.

Summary: Awesome........
Review: I thought the workouts were great, they are not the typical aerobic workout but you will feel it the next day, the moves are broken down and are pretty easy to learn. Carmen seemed very comfortable explaining the moves, I also loved that you can change the music. My only complaints are that the 5 dvds could actually have been a 3 dvd set and I wish the routines were longer.

Summary: A great workout, and SOOO much fun!
Review: I just joined Weight Watchers, and I have begun the hard journey to weight loss. When you are overweight, you NEVER feel sexy. But, this program really helped me discover that side of myself, and I had a blast doing it! Carmen is great, and I felt as though I was working out with a friend. I tried some of the routines on my man, and they work great (wink, wink!) If your goal is to tone up and have fun, this is the one for you! Also, the Fit to Strip DVD is great for your body to tone up, you'll look great for swimsuit season! If I could fault anything about this workout, I would say that DVD 3 could have been on DVD 1. It is the same sort of routine, but with costumes. The other four DVDs are all great though! I HIGHLY recommend this DVD to anybody who wants to feel sexy and tone up! Thank you to Carmen and the creators of Aerobic Striptease!

Summary: Aerobic Striptease Review
Review: I had a lot of fun with this DVD set. DVD's #3 and #4 were pretty short but fun anyway. #2 is a good, toning workout and #1 has a couple of cute routines on it. I'd recommend it to someone who is getting started with a regular workout regimen.

Summary: Simple Choreography
Review: The routines taught are on the EASY side, so if you've had ANY dance experience before whatsoever, then Carmen's routines won't impress you much. It's a good workout and it'll get you sweating a bit and a little flushed in the face, but the routines are a bit disappointing. They're all short 1 or 2 minute routines that have a lot of repetition. The moves are recycled a lot, so they're not too fresh or interesting. Once you master the routines (which will probably take 1 hour per routine if you don't have any dance experience, or about 30 minutes if you do have dance experience), then the DVDs are a bit useless since, for the most part, Carmen is teaching you how to do it.

Carmen seems very genuine, sexy, and adorable- she is quite an inspiration. I just wish the routines were a bit LONGER and more better-choreographed. Overall, a fun set to spice up your workout a bit, but not worth the $. My advice is, if you could get it inexpensively, then go for it. It'll be fun to try it out. But if you have to buy it at full price, my advice is to just save your money for the sexy Bellydance workout DVDs from Neena and Veena. Those routines are much more thrilling, with beautiful, fresh choreography.

Or, if you don't want to buy the whole set, I would suggest just purchasing Disc 2 (Fit to Strip), which is a fun and EFFECTIVE workout to tone and shape your body.
