So, I've just tried out a new aerobics DVD.

It's called 'Strip Tease Your Way To Fitness'* by Carmen Electra.

I'm not sure it actually counted as a 'strip tease'. For example, I know I spent about ten minutes there doing pliés. You know, those basic ballet moves. And I totally appreciate that Carmen Electra was doing pliés in a lot of make up, and whilst wiggling her shoulders a lot, but they were still pliés. I'm also not convinced that it counts as 'strip tease' to wiggle your ass whilst doing basic yoga moves like 'sun salutation'.

I think I miss the nice yoga workout on my Wii Fit.


*In my defense, it was very cheap, and was just there in Tesco.

What were you hoping for?

I don't know! I just felt they could have been a little more honest about it being a mix of ballet and yoga. I totally would have bought that DVD quite happily.

You might have done, but tens of thousands of others wouldn't!

Sadly it's not even that they're stupid, we're horribly exploited first by the food industry and then by the weight loss industry. In much the same way the credit crunch came about because we were offered all the tasty treats of low rate loans as a way to "fix" our debts, so we're offered these dvds to "fix" our weight problem in a fun and easy way.

It's far less to do with us being stupid and more us being forced into a desperate situation

If you are feeling a bit disappointed there is a poledancing school operating out of a storage unit at the place I work.

I set it up with the owner, so could probably get you a good deal if you can make it to Reading.

I'm pretty sure these kind of DVDs aren't actually aimed at women looking to lose a bit of weight. :)

Of course, if you want to demonstrate, I'll happily tell you if it qualifies as striptease or not :-p

I'm kind of curious to see it actually. Sounds like it's probably nothing like striptease, although I've used plies before. Strictly in a comedy way though.
