So, this is probably going to sound crazy haha :blushing:

Basically, I am a really weak-minded person when it comes to losing weight. I have so much motivation on mornings but it's completely gone by late-afternoon and I'm just sat there eating junk food again!

I've tried workouts but I always get bored of them. I'm wondering if anyone knows any 'glamorous' workouts? I mean ones that are led by female(s) in false eyelashes! I've found a couple but the workouts are rubbish. Are there any really good ones out there?

......... I know this is probably a strange question! :ohwell:

Thanks!

(Also, any fitness buddies please add me so we can motivate each other!) :flowerforyou: <3

    You can make anything glamorous (wear sexy outfits to zumba!), but strip aerobics, pole dancing are especially designed that way. Could always install a pole in your place for at home workouts of every variety too ;)

    I'd love to do pole dancing but I'd be scared of the pole breaking or ruining my floor/roof (I'm in a rental!). I'm not confident enough to go to classes yet either! <3

    Carmen Electra does a series of short strip tease workouts. They're fun.

    I think I've seen those Carmen Electra 'workouts'...... I remember them being quite rubbish though. I'll look them up though, just in case I'm remembering it wrong! Thank you! <3

    What about a Burlesque workout? I found quite a few video's on Amazon, I am sure there would be lots on youtube as well.

    Not a strange question at all! I love my local spinning/barre studio because it has a touch of glamour (fresh roses in the lobby, luxurious toiletries in the bathrooms, stylish instructors). It motivates me a lot more than a sweaty gym ever would.

    I never even knew this was possible. Most likely because when I work out my face turns a ghastly shade of red, I have sweat everywhere, including my eyebrows and fingernails, and I'm roasting like it's Death Valley up in there.
    If someone put a thong on me and told me to do all that in high heels I would make us all be sure the lights is OFF. :laugh:
    I'm going to google a couple of these just to see what's up. :)

    I've attended a few stripperobic classes and you have nothing to worry about! It's just like the gym, all levels of fitness, all shapes and sizes. Where I go offers 2 different classes, one is pole and the other is floor/chair.

    I made a thread on this just today but I am considering starting to learn how to hula hoop. I think it looks so amazing and sexy and its supposed to be a great work out!

    Check out hoopnotica...

    The only other thing I can think of is something like belly dancing or burlesque but its all about personal preference but they're are plenty of sexy ways to work out and the bonus of picking something like pole dancing or hula hooping is you not only get fit and loose weight but you learn a new skill/talent these are the type of work outs I am into because of this!

    Oh yes! Someone mentioned ballet work outs they look great but very tough! The Element: Ballet Conditioning DVD looks really great.

    Thanks for all the fantastic suggestions! I'm going to be looking up a lot of these! I would love to try burlesque, but the only people I've seen doing it are actually quite fat so I didn't think it would inspire me much! I'm obviously wrong though, I don't know much about it at all!

    Hahahaha hoola-hooping looks so silly >_< but I've heard it's great for a slim waist! I want to try it too! I'm going on Ebay to get a hoop now haha

    Thanks again! <3

    Hula hooping looks gorgeous :) I would love to get this good HA... in my dreams http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rz-V0jHzbtg

    Be sure to get a weighted hoop! Heavier hoops are supposed to be best for beginners and weight loss. I got a hoop that weighs 1.2kg and is padded with foam so its "less" painful. You can get ones with bumps and stuff on them but they look painful to me. Bruising is also common to begin with.

    I know what you mean about the burlesque (I love curvy burlesque dancers though don't get me wrong!). I guess in its traditional form its quite low impact but I am sure they're are DVD's available that are much more sweaty and more just like a cardio strip tease.
