BOSTON -- Remember that New Year's resolution -- to get fit?
New Technique Heats Up Workout
There's a new way to spice up that same-old fitness routine -- and all you need is a feather boa and a bold attitude. It's called Cardio Striptease.
It is hottest new way to take it all off -- and we're not just talking about excess pounds.
"I told my boss today that I was doing it and he was like, 'Oh man!'" participant Andrea Madison said.
Actually, the only thing that gets removed in this cardio-striptease class is your inhibitions.
"You get to be fully expressive. I took a lot of dance growing up and you can just go crazy in there, and it's a lot of fun," participant Emily Walsh said.
The classes are offered at some locations of the CRUNCH fitness club chain. Videos of the workout are also available for order online. The classes combine aerobics with a dirty dancing of sorts.
"Basically, it's taught in a provocative and a sensual way. In the warmup, people are sweating. They're having fun and they're sweating. So you're definitely getting a full-body workout," instructor Craig Smith said.
The hourlong class includes the teaching of one routine -- and that is anything but routine.
"Rather than being on a treadmill and going back and forth, you hit a plateau, whereas with Craig and the routine, every time I do the routine, I put everything into it," participant Ana Stasia said.
The bottom line is that the juicy moves are attracting plenty of bystanders, and for some, maybe a whole lot more.
"A great date. That's what motivates me," participant Nicole Atchinson said.
