Author's Review
If you are like me, it is hard to stick with a workout routine for very long.  I get so bored with them because I tend to lack motivation.  Carmen Electra's Aerobic Striptease was fun enough to keep my interest.  This is a great workout video.

You can play the video all the way through or you can go to the routine page to select which "chapter" you want to watch.  On the routine page you can select to view the instructions for any of the 3 routines: warm-up, basic, and floor.  Or you can select to view the runthrough of any of the routines.  Once you have learned the moves well enough to skip the instruction, you can select to view all three runthroughs without interruption.

The step-by-step instructions are taught the way you would learn a dance because let's face it, this is a dance workout.  Carmen Electra shows you the moves with two women behind her.  After showing you how to do it, she puts the counts to it.  Finally she lets you do the moves to the music.  Then she adds on a move or two.  This easy to follow format seems to be what bores people.  If you can live through it long enough to get a basic idea of the moves, you can skip it and just do the routines.  I personally enjoyed the step by step instructions because I am not a dancer and I needed that to learn the moves.  After watching the instructions a couple of times, I was able to skip them and do a quicker paced run through each time I turned on my DVD.

Carmen Electra is encouraging and playful throughout the workout.  She has a way of making you feel like you are sexy.  After doing the routine a few times, my husband noticed that my confidence had grown.

The only downside to this video is that the camera is positioned on Electra's face sometimes, which can make it hard to determine which move is being performed in the beginning before you really have the routine down.  Other than that, I think this is a great video, and if you really get into it, you will wake up sore the next day!
