Is the carmen electra workout video good? I heard it is a bunch of stripper stuff is that true? I am a teen and don't want to learn that kinda of stuff so is the striptease video not for me? i am looking for a good workout video and i love to dance I've heard from a lot of people that this was a pretty good one to lose weight and fast. what do u think? do you have any other suggestions on videos? |
I hated it. It was far too short--if I pop in a workout video I expect it to be 45 min to an hour. Her's was maybe 15, 20 if you include the stretching intro. Definitely not enough time to help you lose weight.
Plus I found it far too repetitive. She teaches you 4 steps of a dance, then you speed it up. Then you do it to music. Then you do 8 steps--the 4 original and 4 new ones. Then 16. So by the end I was so sick of the original 4 steps.
I didn't come close to breaking a sweat and for a real workout I'd have to do that video 5-6 times. By that time I'd be too bored. Try belly dancing instead. Way more interesting. Also, try either doing your crunches on a ball or on an incline. You have to do far fewer crunches to feel the same results.
For the best cardio, Denise Austin is still the best. No matter how many times I do that workout I am always exhausted. Cardio is what you need to be doing the most of for weight lost. My sister bumps up her cardio to 45 min a day when she is trying to lose weight but thats hard to not wear yourself out too much for your workout unless you do cardio in the morning and workout in the evening.
If you wish to lose weight you need to be working out at least an hour a day. Two if you can manage. What I would be doing is this. 30 min of cardio. You can do this through a jog outside, Denise Austin, a dance video, tai bo--anything that gets the heart rate up. The belly dancing video has 2 twins--Neema and Veema or something close. Just look up Belly Dancing in Netflix and it comes up. I love the stairstepper personally. Then I'd alternate with my workout. I'd do yoga--MTV yoga video is my personal favorite. I love it--it's fast paced not boring like a lot of yoga. It's great !. and alternate b/t that (which is mostly stretching/ toning) and an intense weight lifting. That way you don't get bored. Every day you do cardio. Every other day you do toning or weight lifting.
Remember there is no way to lose weight fast. Plan on maybe 2 lbs a week, unless you are very overweight. If you are very overweight, you'll probably need a trainer. It helps motivate you b/c when you are tired and want to stop you have someone riding your butt. Make working out more of a lifestyle though and figure out what you could cut out (soda, a lot of butter, mayo on sandwiches) that would cut your calories.
Good luck though and definitely check out the Denise Austin video. I've been working on it for a year and just finally managed to get all the way through it on moderate. I dont know when I'll be able to go all the way through on difficult. Tell me if you fair better! |
Do you know if the Carmen Electra Strip to fit Video works at all? I am trying to find a way to get back into shape and I noticed to new Carem Electra Videos that are out. I think it would be cool if they worked because I go get back into shape and maybe even learn a few things to show my husband. Has anyone tried them? |
| I have them and swear by them. It's a real workout. You will be amazed at the muscles you use. And hubby will be amazed by the moves you learn. They start out very, very basic and not so sexy, then work their way up, but the beginning is important so you can get used to the proper way to do it. Go for it, you'll be glad you did! |
Does anyone know about how many calories I would burn doing Carmen Electra's strip video? I want to use a calorie calculator to find out how many calories I would burn doing her video, but I'm not sure what kind of exercise it is. Aerobic, dance? Any clue? Thanks! :) |
| depends of u r having sex during the video |
Carmen Electra aerobic strip tease video? Has anyone tried her video? i just bought it yesterday on a complete impulse buy, and i LOVE it. I couldnt even make it to the second routine because i was definatley feeling it. Its so fun and easy, i feel completely ridiculous, but oh well its all in good fun.
Has anyone else tried them? i just bought disk 1, but i think i may go buy the others. |
| I bought it. It was pretty cool if you want to do a little sexy routine. I don't really see the fitness factor in it, but I did give myself WHIPLASH from tossing my neck back and forth!!!! LOL! |
Strip you way to fitness with Carmen Electra? My co-worker told me about these work out videos that Carmen Electra has. They sound really fun and I think would be something different to add to my routine. Has anyone tried them? What did you think? |
| I have tried them. The routines do really provide much of a workout, but are kind of fun to learn. The fit to strip DVD has some pretty good toning exercises that you can do at home and is meant to target the areas people might be self-conscious about during the routines. |

Carmen Electra strip aerobic videos do they a really work? Has anyone tried them? I just bought all 4 discs. Not the vegas on or the one in the bedroom. But does anyone know if it really works. When I do them I feel a little burn. And I have fun. But is it really giving me a work out. Or is it a waste of time and money? |
if you're just starting to work out, they are great. It's a low impact workout that is easy on your joints and that improves your flexibility.
If you're in good shape, they might be too easy, but they are still fun and they are great for toning your hips. If you find them easy, add wrist and ankle weights (you can get them in any sports store or even Wal-Mart for $3-5). |
How well do the carmen electra aerobic striptease videos work? Please, if you have tried these, let me know what your thoughts are on them. And which videos are the best? |
| They are fun to do and anything active is good. Carmen has some low quality fitness items, Try the pussycat doll workout. |
