Carmen Electra's Aerobic Striptease Collection - Carmen's Fitness Collection

But in case you don't know it's strictly fitness, no dance moves in this one. I was taken back doing this video after her first video which was fun but provided little workout. This workout is incredible; no props or extra equipment needed just your body; All of the moves are incredibly effective in not just working major muscle groups but all the little ones you never knew you had until your hurting after. And I mean directly after. I take yoga and pilates, and let me tell you they have nothing on this; I used to think my pilates class was hard b/c I would hurt the next day and the day after(and not in a good way- we're talking bow legged walking..) But I feel the burn right from the beginning, throughout the whole video, and days after; and as silly as it sounds, a good hurt; I guess b/c the trainer adds good stretches throughout/ and you have alot of warm up time, so I feel it in my muscles not my tendons.Which is great for me b/c I am very inflexible. I really have to hand it to this trainer in so many ways I can't count; through the excercises and succession of the exercises it is very clear that he is a highly trained professional, and I'll tell you why: the exercises are very unique, they cover a whole range of styles, you get muscle toning, stretching, core, and aerobic workout in this; he is very motivating(and even though you are in your house: you get the idea that he'd be very comfortable to work with). Also coming from someone that sees a physical therapist for neck/ shoulder pain due to inflexibility and a gymnastic injury: he works on all the things my therapist works on with me: focusing on the same muscle groups for core and posture strength. So not only are you getting fit; you are gradually improving your musculoskeletal system in ways to counteract our daily lives of poor posture and slumping over desks, typing etc. This helps in pain management and prevention. And lastly even though I am only 26 and fairly fit, I have a hard time w/ workouts per my old injuries; strength training, etc. causes me to go into spasms; I have not gotten that same reaction from this workout; Which really tells me this guy knows what he is doing. As for Carmen she doesn't give any instruction;she makes comments here and there; She seems real sweet/cute but sort of clueless (if that's not too harsh); which is fine by me b/c it really feels like she's learning along with you.And she has a very positive/ comfortable/ she could be one of your girlfriends air about her.Both of them together make a great combination. I highly recommend this video; It is the only workout video I have purchased thus far that has been able to hold my attention all the way through- and I still do it at least 3 times a week. It's really worth it if you hate the cheese you usually get from all the other(even newer) workout videos on the market. Oh yeah, and it is the only one I have been able to convince my boyfriend to do with me; and he even breaks a sweat.

Maybe you aren't that interested in stripping, but ARE interested in a great work-out video with a professional. Well, ladies, here it is. I love Carmen Electra. I bought them all, hoping to learn a few moves while getting some exercise. Basically, the rest in the series are garbage. They are not going to help get you in shape, and I didn't use any of them more than a couple of times. Disc 2, however, I have used for years. Carmen does the whole thing with fitness trainer, Michael Carson. He is very informative and the exercises are great for women looking to get in better shape without doing something ridiculously hard like P90X. There is the basic overall aerobics, and then you can also do the scenes that are meant for certain parts of your body. Doing all of it takes about 50 minutes. If you can't find the energy to do it all at first, just start with the basic workout. The both of them really make a great team and are fun to watch. Carmen is just a down-to-earth looking girl who is a little lost on what to do. Michael will help correct her mistakes (ones I know that I definitely made at first), and Michael will show you ways to make exercises harder once you've mastered them. It's cute, fun, and I lost about 20 pounds in 3 months and got really fit. I really owe it all to Carmen and Michael! The only downsides to this DVD are sometimes the scenes are choppy (badly edited), and it is annoying to hear the same jokes over and over and over again. So these days (since I know what they're saying word by word), I just mute it and blast some good workout music on my speakers. Great video for women who are really looking to get fit!

I really like doing this workout. Trust me, I am not the kind of person that enjoys exercising but I actually look forward to doing this DVD and I always feel great afterwards. Yoga and pilates have never been "fast" enough for me, when I am working out I like to be sweating and breathing hard, but the moves in this video give me some of the same feelings that I really like about them. I feel like I am really lengthening and toning my muscles instead of just really building up one particular muscle. The guy that is in it is really fun and makes everything really clear, and Carmen is great. I am not exactly coordinated ;) and I have an easy time following this video. I love that the encouragement and comments are more geared towards feeling more confident, and being comfortable with your body as opposed to just burning calories or fat like some of the other videos. Also, I like that Carmen has a softer more curvaceous body. As ridiculous as that may sound I hate when I watch an exercise video and I would hate to have my body look like the instructors. It makes me sort of feel like "If that is what my body is going to look like if I stick with this video, no thanks" However, if my body ended up being as fabulous as Carmen's I wouldn't complain. It is a great video for working your entire body, and it is SO hard!!

Nach den vielen guten Rezensionen die ich hier gelesen hatte, beschloss ich mir die DVD auch zu kaufen (gebraucht). Am nächsten Tag war sie da und ich begann gleich mit dem Training. Was mir besonders gut gefallen hat: - der hübsche Trainer der sehr sympathisch rüberkommt, ebenso eine sehr nette (und normal wirkende) Carmen Electra, die sich auch mal beschwert dass "ihre Oberschenkel brennen" oder sie nicht mehr kann. Das fand ich super, denn normalerweise sind die Leute in den Fitness-DVDs fast übermenschlich sportlich und das motiviert dann eben nicht gerade zu Glanzleistungen da man zu früh aufgibt. Hier ist das aber wirklich gut und real dargestellt! - die Übungen finde ich sehr ansprechend, erstens weil ich viele davon noch gar nicht kannte und sie trotzdem sehr effektiv sind und zweitens weil hinterher immer gestretcht wird, was ich sehr entspannend fand. - die Übungen werden normalerweise nur so oft wiederholt, dass man es als Normaler Mensch auch hinbekommt und nicht keuchend aufgeben muss. - die Atmosphäre ist sexy, freundlich und hell - fand ich sehr schön! Habe mir jetzt gleich den Dreierpack Vol 1-3 von Carmen bestellt, da ich ziemlich begeistert bin. Kann die DVD nur weiterempfehlen!

I bought this set because I like to dance and need that to be my exercise. The first routine warms you up to the whole thing, but the best dvd is the second. Carmen is working with a personal trainer and it is a pretty hefty workout. So far I'm really enjoying these workouts and Carmen is pretty adorable. I have already recommended them to several friends for a fun workout.
