(Taken from back of DVD case) Disc 2 of Carmen Electra's Aerobic Striptease series is all about working your way to a dancer's body. Fitness expert and personal trainer Michael Carson takes you and Carmen through an intense total-body routine that focuses on strengthening and toning, as well as several mini workouts developed to target problem areas like hips, buns and abs. Fit To Strip whips you into shape, so you'll feel even more confident about taking it off in no time!

Who's Carmen Electra Carmen Electra (real name Tara Leigh Patrick) is an american Glamour model, dancer and singer who has now turned to acting and presenting television. Carmen was discovered by Prince who persuaded her to cahnge her name but she is probably best known for her appearences in Playboy magazine and on hit TV show, Baywatch. She was also married to basketball star Dennis Rodman for a short while , which catapulted her career.
The DVD The DVD consists of a full Cardio Warm up, from the title page you can choose any of the mini workouts, these have been designed to target problem areas, so you can just pick the area you feel needs the most work. There is also a choice of music between rock and hip hop.

The series is also available as a box set which can be bought for £29.99 from HMV.
My Experience My body has never quite recovered from having my 3rd child, i've really struggled with loosing the baby weight and could definately do with being a bit more toned. Joining the gym is quite an expensive option for our family at the moment, plus it's finding the time to actually go so I decided fitness DVD were probably the best route to go down. After reading a few reviews online I decided to buy this and another (a belly dancing DVD which I haven't yet reviewed) as it sounded fun and I liked the idea that you could choose the mini workouts. I purchased the DVD from ebay for £6.99. The cardio warm up starts off quite gentle but gradually the moves get harder, to be honest I couldn't do some of them, but Michael and Carmen assures the viewer that if you carry on with the DVD they routine will get easier and you'll be able to do more of them. I actually found some of the exercises really difficult but what you have to remember is that Carmen is a dancer and Michael a fitness expert and it is their job to make it look easy. The mini routines are fab if you don't have time to go through the whole DVD, they are only about 10 minutes each and everything is really well explained. Despite being able to choose your own music it is actually the same piece of music but in a different style, it's actually quite boring music but I didn't mind cos I could hardly hear it over the sound of my own panting.
Overall This DVD will definately give you results. The first time you do it (if your not used to exercising) you'll be aching but while your doing it you can actually feel it working. The annoying thing is I've had this a while now and although I don't do it as regularly as I perhaps should some of the moves are just too hard and it's quite annoying cos they look so easy, Carmen bearly breaks a sweat.
