Product Description
THE COMPLETE 5 DISC SET
Amazon.com
While Volume One in Carmen Electra's Aerobic Striptease series featured Electra working out in front of a bed, Vegas Strip offers a more public venue, Studio 54, as her instructional setting. Since this segment is filmed at a legendary dance club, it makes sense that this workout session is constructed of choreographed dance moves, that one can either use on the dance floor or keep under wraps at home. Vegas Strip's half-hour session will provide good cardiovascular exercise, depending on what one puts into it, though it mostly improves grace and coordination, in easy-to-learn segments set to pulsating dance music. This is equally valuable since the premise of this series is to feel sexy and have fun while working out. Though it does appear to be more of a lesson in choreography, Vegas Strip clearly demonstrates the challenge implicit to such sexed-up dance moves, and may give those who shun dirty dancing a respect for the real professionals. —Trinie Dalton

 It'll make you sweat! June 30, 2009
mizkriztin (TN, USA)
Out of all the aerobic DVDs I own (10-minute pilates, the Bar Method, etc.) I feel this video (Fit To Strip - disc 2 in the set) has given me the best results. After doing at least 5 days a week for about a month and a half, I have really noticed my legs changing. I have lost nearly all excess on the back of my legs (hamstring area) and even the thigh area is becoming more defined. This DVD combines cardio work with strength training which uses your own body weight and gravity against you. There are lots of squat-type exercises that focus on the legs. I recommend this DVD by itself for anyone looking to tone up for the summer!
 Some parts are great, some a waste of money. June 29, 2009
D. D. Underwood (Oklahoma)
If you're buying these separately to save money, and I recommend this (I bought the whole set on a whim), you only really need parts 1, 2, and 5. Discs 3 & 4 are cheap 5 minute long 'routines' that you're supposed to do for an audience that don't give you a bit of a workout.
Disc 1 has a nice warm up, and two dancing, slightly sexy routines, one of which has you on the floor spreading your legs. It's fun and a good workout, although it could be a little longer. To get more out of it, I keep chaptering back and doing the run through over and over again. I especially repeat the last dance routine, as it seems the hardest.
Disc 2 is strength training. I find it has a rather different spin on it than the strength training I'm used to. Which, in my world, different is good and keeps you interested. There's no equipment used but a chair, but I've easily adapted the arm exercises to add some weights. Some exercises are quite challenging, and you'll definitely feel it the next day.
Disc 5 is a hip hop dance routine that is very challenging and my favorite. Repeat this combo a few times and you'll be sweating for sure.
Overall, I think the name 'Aerobic Striptease' is pretty misleading, although it is true for some of the discs. As for Carmen herself, I've grown quite fond of her after watching all the DVDs. She's got a rather subtle yet informative instructing style. She slows the moves down dramatically to teach them, so much so that you'll find yourself thinking 'Just GET ON with it already!' But you do indeed learn the moves easily with her teaching. She's quite fun to work with, and beautiful, to boot.
 I NEVER GOT THE ITEM I PAID FOR June 27, 2009

I just want what I paid for. I'm sure the item is great... I want the video or my money back... Help!
Didn't learn a D@MN THING!!! June 12, 2009

I brought this video based off of the rating. What a mistake. Please read the negative reviews first so you can save your money.
This was ridiculous. I am pretty sure Carmen is a nice person and a great dancer but she is a bad instructor. If you want to buy this dvd for a great workout are a new routine, please be prepared to rewind rewind rewind each portion of the routine. Also she had too many steps within each portion. And the worst part of this video is the end. Once you spent however many hours learning the routine, she shows you the last part then says "lets take it from the beginning". Then it goes to a club scene. The routine becomes all about her and forgets that it is an instructional video. I was dumb founded. Such a waste of my MONEY.
 Carmen Electra's Striptease DVD 1 Overview June 4, 2009
J. Hill
I think that this is a fun DVD to exercise to, though it doesn't give you an actual workout. This is more of just a dancy video. It doesn't reallly get your heart rate up to what it needs to be in order to get into shape. I enjoy doing it and there are points where it "gets tough". But it doesn't last long enough to really give you the full cardio you may want. Here are steps as to what the video does:
1. Warm-Up: You can either have her count through it or you can listen to music provided on the DVD and just watch her do head tilts and stretch. I would advise listen to the music.
2. Dance number one-Pretty easy steps, but it goes fairly slow which keeps you from getting your heart rate up. Once you learn the whole dance and do it you get an alright workout.
3. Dance number 2-This one is a little tougher. You have to do some floor work that is a little tough but it does work you legs and abs for a short amount of time.
Once you have completed that the DVD is over. The workout is okay, I wouldn't recommend for someone who is serious about losing weight unless you are committed to doing it everyday and doing something else with it (running, swimming, etc). It is fun and very dancy. Don't get it if you don't want to dance. The music is okay, you have an option to change it up if you want. It is something that would be fun to do with friends once a week just for "girl time". It is a fun video, so check it out.
