“The workout series that’ll tone your body like a dancer and definitely spice up your personal life,” Carmen Electra says.

This latest project of Miss Former Baywatch, besides “‘Til Death Do Us Part: Carmen and Dave,” is her aerobic striptease series. And what a workout it is.

When you hear aerobic striptease, you may laugh to yourself, thinking it’s just one woman’s way of hogging the camera and making money — after all, the DVD features a photo gallery exclusively of Carmen. But while Carmen does use the 50-minute workout as an excuse to change her apparel and hairstyle several times, the person on the other side of the screen doing the workout, gets, well, worked out.

This first volume in Carmen’s striptease series shows the viewer the basics to learning the striptease workout.

The workout begins with a warm-up, similar to most ballet routines and moves on to three strip dancing routines. Though the viewer may find herself/himself feeling awkward in the beginning, by the end of the workout, the viewer will lose most inhibitions.

Besides Carmen Electra, celebrities such as Jennifer Aniston and Jennifer Love Hewitt are fans of this workout. The different aerobic exercises and dance routines are a way for the viewer to lose a few pounds and keep their body toned, all while feeling sexy about working out.

Stripteasing is quickly becoming a phenomenon across the nation. Perhaps it’s because we’re all sexual beings. What better workout to do than one that allows you to shed a few clothes while shedding some pounds at the same time?

And what better host to teach new viewers the sexy workout than Miss Sex Goddess herself? Carmen makes it clear that the moves she will teach them will not only make their arms toner, abs tighter and buns firmer, but she teaches the viewers moves to try out in the bedroom as well.

While the workout series is targeted toward women and pleasuring their partner, men shouldn’t feel ashamed of trying out the workout themselves. If they only buy the series to see Carmen bend and stretch, then at least they’ll learn a little bit more about what women want in their lives to feel sexier.

Aside from the routines themselves, the series is different than most workout videos in that the music is a little more upbeat and the costume changes do not involve a one-piece spandex suit.

Clearly Carmen is aware of her physical attractiveness throughout the video. This becomes evident with her raspy giggle every five minutes and her making sexy faces at the camera. However, if we all looked that good, we’d probably be making love to the camera, too.

After working out to the new striptease phenomenon, you might find yourself walking a little sexier and slapping your own butt in public places — the viewer has to do this several times in the workout — but you’ll be all the better for it.

Not only will you find yourself pleased with the results, but your other may find themselves pleasured in the process of you getting fit.
