This might be funny admitting this, but a workout I recently tried was the Carmen Electra Aerobic Striptease. Yes, I'm admitting it, but the real surprisingly thing is that it was a pretty decent workout. Call me a cynic, but I was very skeptical of a workout routine that involved Carmen Electra gyrating her hips from side to side. However, the strip aerobics made for a pretty good workout. Based on what I saw, the benefits of aerobic striptease are in the positions Electra puts you through (no, not like that). What I mean is some of the positions in the striptease aerobics a little different and can really workout muscles you don't regularly use (again not like that!). For instance, the gyrating was actually really good at working out your obliques. The thing a liked best about Carmen Electra's video though was that it was fun. At times it didn't feel like I was even working out and it is those kind of moments that make setting up my workout routine so much easier.
