Carmen Electra Got In Shape By Stripping
Go Figure!
Carmen Electra's Stripaerobics may seem more like a joke that a legitimate workout, but the former Playboy model swears by erotic lap dances and strip teases as her cardio.
"I think that strippers have the best bodies," Carmen says.
"Every time I go to a strip club the girls look just incredible and have fantastic figures. You can also use the moves in the bedroom."
She credits her great figure to her time spent in the burlesque cabaret act Pussycat Dolls with Christina Aguilera in 2003. The sultry star swears that she danced her way to a sexier figure by performing demanding dance moves.
"While we were rehearsing, my body began to get leaner," she says. "I didn’t have a lot of weight to lose, but I really toned up. And I was having fun getting in shape."
The logic adds up in that any kind of dancing, especially one that is slow, requires a lot of muscle strength and flexibility.
Carmen explains, "When you see strippers dance, they’re working every muscle. They’re dipping down, bending knees, moving hips, and the slow stretches are phenomenal for muscle tone. I’ve gone to strip clubs to watch because it really is a performance." |
