Flirty Girl Fitness Uses Sleazy Stripper Dance Moves to Get You Fit
June 4th, 2009 Paul Lucas
Recall the last time you were at a strip joint—oh, excuse me, “gentlemen’s club.” The music starts blasting and the lovely ladies take the stage, seductively moving their bodies in perfect rhythm to the beat. They wrap their bodies around a pole and slither up and down. As the hot sexy woman you’ve been eyeing gets ready to take her top off and reveal the flesh of her perfect mammaries, you are thinking only one thought: “I bet she is burning a lot of calories with that dance routine!”
If you have ever thought that, then you are not a male (at least not a straight one) and you are the perfect customer for the Flirty Girl Fitness™ exercise system.
The Flirty Girl Fitness infomercial convinces fat-ass housewives watching TV in the middle of the afternoon that if they want a sexy bod they’ll have to gyrate like the exotic dancers at some sleazy nudie bar:
The Flirty Girl Fit infomercial offers a “chair dance” video as a free bonus, but you need to supply the chair yourself, as well as the fat sweaty guy sitting in it and shoving dollar bills down your panties.
Those who don’t want to workout by doing a lap dance can instead do a pole dance by ordering their very own stripper pole from the infomercial! Won’t grandma be happy to see that in your home when she comes over for Thanksgiving dinner.
The ad assures us that the dance moves in Flirty Girl Fitness are much more fun than some boring workout routine. What fun you’ll have when you imagine you’re a stripper at the Bada Bing Club getting your genitals rudely manhandled by Tony Soprano!
No one can deny that a stripper’s dancing burns a lot of calories. Of course, a hooker gets a great lower body workout from standing around on street corners and walking up and down the block trolling for tricks. Once you’ve mastered Flirty Girl Fitness you can move on to their advanced program: Slutty Ho Fitness™.
Reminds me of that DVD with Carmen Electra showing you how to strip your way to being fit. Did they seriously think the stripper pole was a good idea?
Oh yeah, on a somewhat related note, Paul, have you seen the latest from Trudeau? I say related because he’s pitching a government money book much like Lesko was doing a few years back, but his guests were the former PMOYs for 2006 and 2007! You have to cover this, because if this man is desperate enough that he has to use fake boobs to sell his stuff, that really says something!

John, I haven’t seen the new Trudeau infomercial yet but I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for it now.
Comment by Paul Lucas — June 5th, 2009 at 10:53 am
I have to admit when I see a woman pole dancing I think about the calories burned and the strength it takes. Then again, I’m not a dude.

Does Dr. Victoria Zdrok make an appearance?
I’ll stick to my regular fitness videos, thanks.

I realize the aerobic benefits of dancing in general, but that video is just too much. I guess strippers are called “flirty dancers” now.
Comment by Devika — June 8th, 2009 at 3:02 am
Imagine, if you will, a heavy-set housewife in her late 40s trying this. Yeah, pretty much…
Comment by John — June 8th, 2009 at 6:01 pm
Paul,
Here’s the site for Kevin’s “Free Money” informercial. I’ve seen it and like the guy said you definitely need to cover this one.

Kevin’s back and ready for more Ridiculous Infomercial fodder.

Omg thats so awesome i would love a way to kill calories and have fun
Comment by Trina Toxic — June 28th, 2009 at 1:32 pm
I’m watching this infomercial right now, and I just realized they make sure to include a testimonial from a woman that explicitly states that it’s NOT stripper moves, but actually like being a KID again. I don’t know what her childhood was like, but I found that claim a bit disturbing.
Comment by Devika — July 18th, 2009 at 3:21 am
Poles are great fun! Why else would they have them in playgrounds?
Comment by Aria — July 23rd, 2009 at 1:53 am
Just an FYI, not ALL strippers are as Mr. Lucas portrays them to be. They are not all sleezy and “having their genitals manhandled”, nor are all of them whores - however, if he knew what he was talking about, then he would know that. But, hypocrites are just that - speaking about things they have no real knowledge of. Or maybe he has been dissed by one and he is venting through this ad. In any event, yes, dancing (stripping) is a great workout. Alot of calories are burned, thus keeping you tone and fit.
Much Love,
A former strippin’, slutty ho, havin’ my genitals manhandled by Tony Soprano

When I first saw this commercial I almost died laughing but when it kept showing up everywhere I realized this was for real. I’m sure this is a great way to work out, but seriously? Hooker dancing just isn’t my cup of tea but I’m sure lots of woman (probably middle-aged who wish/pretend they’re still 20) will buy this. But the in home stripper pole seems to take it overboard.(do they call it a stripper pole or “the workout bar”?)
Comment by Stephie — August 4th, 2009 at 4:58 pm
I can’t stop laughing
Comment by chris — August 7th, 2009 at 10:53 am
theres nothing wrong with feeling sexy and haveing a good time working out. i dont know what kind of quaker-ville you people grew up in, but you really need to open your mind a little. those people who are all against it just obviously dont have to confidence to try it.

Who ever thought up this travesty of fitness ought to be taken out and shot, then taken somewhere else and shot again…
…then shot into the sun.

I read a poem in my email yesterday called “Haters” by Mayou A. People have their own opinion so heres mine….whats wrong with trying something new and fun? Women yall need to put some spice in yyall life and quit hatin…as for me iam getting the whole thang pole n all…I am 30 something and on my anniversary i will b dancing for my husband and yes ladies I am happily married I am not a hater holla
Comment by Lon — August 28th, 2009 at 10:10 pm
I actually just ordered it. Ive takin a class that included a stripper pole before and it was fun…a major work out but fun. I agree with those who said ya’ll need to grow up and open ya’lls eyes.
Comment by Courtney — September 3rd, 2009 at 5:49 pm
I’m in my 20’s, and just had my 2nd baby, I don’t have much time for myself. If I can get back in shape and bring some new excitement to the bedroom too, I’m for it. My wonderful husband can sit in the chair, and “man-handle” me all he wants!!!
Comment by mama mia — September 10th, 2009 at 10:48 am
What is wrong with all of the guys putting this down?…Do you not want more women to be able to dance exotically? Like your wife or girlfriend? Idiots. I was considering getting this and surprising my husband. He would love it. Then again - my husband still enjoys makin’ it with the opposite sex.
Comment by Eva — September 10th, 2009 at 7:15 pm
Oh get a grip people. Any sort of workout that gets people moving is worth it. Some people might not exercise because it’s boring. Dancing is fun whether it’s ballroom, salsa, or club style. The whole point of working out is to get more active and because of that get in better shape. There is no reason to attack this DVD. You are stereotyping. True some girls will buy it just to dance exotically and to act like a slut. But then there will also be womer who buy it because they want to exercise to something fun IN THEIR OWN HOMES. It’s not as if those women are really going to be doing it in front of you. Then you have the people who just like that style of dance and don’t find it “dirty/sluty”. And lastly you have the women who want to start exercising but don’t have the courage to stet at a gym, where as we all know plus size women gett glared at for the audacity of being fat. This is a good way for those women to get a start with something fun/entertaining that will give them a boost to get up and do it. I know myself, I just dance along at home to music videos. Now I will admit that the pole might be a bit over the top but having a friend who stripped her way through college, I know it’s a huge workout. You are lifting and spinning your entire body weight with either your arms or legs. It takes a lot of energy and strength to do that.
And it’s not a sin to want to look and dance sexy. Like previos posters here maybe it’s for their significant other not for random guys at the club. Be a little open to things and realize that YOUR way is not always THE way for everyone. And take a chill pill.
Comment by darklingwater — October 8th, 2009 at 10:54 am
This workout is pretty good. I wasn’t able to even finish the whole thing and only did 10 minutes. The next day all my leg muscles were sore. This is definitely a routine for a pretty strong person looking to get more toned.
Comment by K — October 15th, 2009 at 5:38 am
Being a woman who is concerned with the portrayal of beauty in our society, I think that this set of videos is a good way for women who may have body image issues to feel attractive and boost confidence. I can say from experience that acting sexy and feeling desired by your significant other (or members of the opposite sex in general) is a great way to eradicate the self-consciousness that the media inflicts on American women. ANY woman can order this and feel no shame in “performing” in her own home. I think the people who have a problem with an amorphous, random stranger buying these DVD’s needs to get a life and let people enjoy themselves. Just because the woman in your life (assuming you even have one) won’t dance for you doesn’t mean it’s right for you to call anyone who would pole dance a slut. Grow up!
Comment by C. D. — October 16th, 2009 at 3:10 pm
I don’t find dancing provocatively sleazy. I find men that use terms like “slutty ho” to describe a woman wanting to dance provocatively pretty sleazy though. Grow up.

Dee DEE you have hit the nail on the head!!!!
in the privacy of my own home who gives a fuck WHAT i act like and furthermore who really cares if i paid 19.95 to do it. this is purely a matter of personal taste and interest and the fact that there are so many puritanical, book burning,finger pointing ,judgemental ,holier-than-thou,pitch fork waving members of a morally outraged mob who have nothing better to do than write and congratulate a page like this freaks me the fuck out. this is the year 2009 get in the now people. However my suggestion for those who really feel like something must be done about this kind of licentiousness should all meet once a week in a basement somewhere to sew scarlett letters for the rest of us to wear while we do our flirty girl work out!!!! work out nazis !all of you can just bite me!
Comment by tisha — October 25th, 2009 at 4:35 pm
My goodness, I can’t believe how biggotted some people are. All the girls I know and work with as a stripper would never truely sell there bodies. We dance as entertainment, there’s no touching that’s a ticket out the door. An elabrate form of being a giesha, oraiginally they were never whores. What people do in their home or in their free time is none of your concern. I bet you have a few dirty little secrets, everyone does. But really please do grow up. I am married and have a lovely daughter who has no clue what I do. I am an every day person if you saw me on the street you would never guess what I do for work. Most of the other girl I have met over the years are the same way. The kettle shouldn’t be calling the pot black.
Comment by Candi — December 1st, 2009 at 4:03 am
I think this video is fun! I only came across this stupid “man who thinks his dick rules the universe” blog because I was looking to order the videos and pole! I’m not a “lazy house wife who wants to feel 20 again.” And why if a woman wants to raise her own children and be fit and sexy is that wrong?!? I am a fit woman who just turned 24, I work a professional job at a brokerage firm full time and I am going to law school. So maybe some of you need to get rid of your pathetic ideas of women! I’m married and I love having sex, feeling sexy! My husband adores me and respects and supports my dreams. I need a video like this just to get a fun work out that will satisfy me. I like adventure, hiking, white water rafting, diving….I go to the gym too, but its nice to keep it interesting and do something different. It’s so easy to sit at a computer and ridicule, judge, and point the finger. I love a good laugh, but I don’t get the humor here. The only thing I find funny is most of you guys probable wish your wives would do something like this because you never get laid! Stop being a prude and get off your fat ass!

#26 comment…u r exactly right….what she said
Comment by Lon — December 6th, 2009 at 10:17 pm
Dancing is not at all bad, its the way people look at things so sexually nowadays! Im a christian woman and i love dancing this program is great for getting in shape, if you dont like it just stick with that dont label women as sluts or sleazy because they want to have fun as well as maintain or get into shape, my husband would love this :-) God gets happy Whew a married couple please each other! Besides many women getting this are married or doing it behind closed doors keep nasty opinions to yourselves.
Comment by Wini — December 24th, 2009 at 2:05 am
Why is dancing provocatively bad? Adults can dance the way they want to. I am 41 years old and I love to go to the club with the music banging and just dance. I don’t drink, I don’t smoke and I don’t go there to pick up anyone. I just love to dance. It is a great workout that is fun and you don’t need any equipment. I dance for at least three hours straight without stopping. No exercise class EVER makes me want to continue for that long.
I would love to be able to dance better and I think that these videos would be helpful to teach me some moves and help me lose weight. People should stop being prudes and live a little. When I dance, I feel beautiful and sexy. As a woman, you are never too old to feel that way.
Comment by Shell — December 27th, 2009 at 6:31 pm
I am amused to see some of the comments posted up here about this product. Well…… I just submitted my order, and I can’t wait for it to come in the mail. I agree with some of the comments, the people who likely have a problem with this product are insecure men who are afraid of their wives/girlfriends learning how to be sexy, and women who are equally insecure (for various reasons). I look forward to working out and enjoying it at the same time, maybe even learn a little something for that special someone. ;)
Comment by Charlie — December 28th, 2009 at 9:14 am
I am a 5′10″ plus sized woman and I am SO offened by the weight comments. I would expect the laughing and pointing fingers if I went and bought a pole, then installed it in public for everyone to see while I attempted to twirl my chubby ass around in skimpy clothing…but why make fun of a big girl doing it in the privacy of her own home? And what is up with the stereotyping of a 40 year old house wife? I can only hope that when I am 40 I will still have the energy and attitude to try new and fun things like a sexy workout…as opposed to what? Whatching soaps all day? So is that what the 40 year old housewives SHOULD be doing? And I can only imagine the sex lives of those thinner than me commenting above about the “sleazy” video…it must be so boring! Or non-existant! Tonight when my very attractive boyfriend of 2 years is bringing me to the brink of my usual mind blowing orgasm, I’m gonna have him give my big, round ass an extra squeeze because now I have another reason to be thankful I am the way I am, as opposed to some skinny, boring, kill-joy with a sorry attitude.
Comment by court — January 5th, 2010 at 10:00 am
I have investigated this DVD and honestly, I think it will be a great experience for me. I won’t buy the pole, but I do look forward to learning some sensual dance moves in the privacy of my own home. I hope to lose some weight and I think getting excited about exercise couldn’t hurt! Sure beats the fitness programs of some of the dullards I work with who clip pedometers to their belts and call that a work-out.
As for all the comments on weight and “ass size”, I think it’s sad that a fairly large portion of our society (no pun intended) believes that only skinny girls have a right to feel sexy and be sensual. May we all love ourselves just the way we are.
Comment by Kris — January 6th, 2010 at 2:48 am
Females -young and old- have gone off the deep end with sex. There was a time when there were a few sluts but most women were still relationship material (good girls). Today most women are slutty and are just good for sex. They’ve lost all feminine class and sensuality, and are simply sleazy and seem to be trying to emulate lower-class promiscuous macho guys wrt sex - not the type of women you’d want to be in a serious relationship with, certainly not the potential mother of your children.
Comment by dogguy22 — January 10th, 2010 at 6:41 pm
hypocrisy is: ridiculing women for being overweight, and then ridiculing them for the way that they try to lose said weight. get a life, please, and if you’re going to review something, you should at least try to experience it first and not be so judgmental.
Comment by nkitajolie — January 14th, 2010 at 2:49 pm
The first time I saw the Flirty girl Fitness video I was excited and couldn’t wait to see it again so I could get the number. I thought it looked like a really fun way to exercise and I was right! My video got here yesterday and I had such a great time doing the moves. Plus I was sore this morning in my thighs and my stomach BUT that didn’t stop me from doing both the videos again today!!! I think this is one of the best videos they’ve come out with in a long time and I have tried several.The moves are not slutty or skanky and I have to admit that I felt very sexy doing it and I even let my husband watch. And for the record, I’m a 27 year old housewife and if I want to put a pole in my living room and dance like a “hooker” it’s my own damn business! Finally I would like to address “dogguy22″ who said “Females -young and old- have gone off the deep end with sex. There was a time when there were a few sluts but most women were still relationship material (good girls). Today most women are slutty and are just good for sex.” Unless you’ve met every woman in the world, you can not make that generalization. I would like to know exactly what you base you knowledge of “most women” on. You are obviously an ignorant woman hater who had a low down mother. I feel sorry for you.
Comment by Gabvie Thompson — January 14th, 2010 at 7:57 pm
I actually want to get the dvd set. It looks really fun and doing it in your own house isn’t like doing it in public. My hubby would love it and so would I.
Comment by FlirtyFan — January 15th, 2010 at 7:38 pm
to some of the people dissing the video - there’s nothing wrong with being sexy. in fact, it’s better to be sexy for your partner, husband, boyfriend….there is nothing wrong with these videos. you guys need to get a life and stop judging women who are comfortable with their sexuality and themselves.
Comment by just thinking — January 19th, 2010 at 12:44 pm
So, dickhead…uh, I mean Mr. Lucas, I ordered my Flirty Girl Fitness DVDs AND pole after stumbling across your “review” (see my comment above #23) so I want to thank you for giving me the push I needed to order it. Turns out, the moves are sexy, not slutty and, on top of that, I’ve gone from a size 9 to a size 1…NOT KIDDING, LADIES! So, thank you, thank you, thank you for being a total pig and pissing me off enough to order this awesome set of DVDs. I couldn’t be happier.
Comment by Brenda — February 10th, 2010 at 5:08 pm
I absolutely love flirty girl fitness! It has even inspired me to take pole dancing classes! Flirty girl makes you feel sexy and love your whole body! Only insecure people diss the program.
Comment by Meg — February 28th, 2010 at 6:51 pm
WOW… People against people wanting to get in shape should take a second look in the mirror and think about shaping up there attitude! Who cares about what video people chose to workout too??? Why should we care what some loser (who obviously isn’t into a woman wanting to be sexy) things about this video… perhaps he is not into women??? One can only ponder the thought! I on the otherhand have talked it over with my sexy deployed Husband and he thinks it’s a great idea! Not only will it help me get into shape and lose weight, but it will totally boost the fun in the bedroom! Not that we had a boring sex life to begin with… we are always exploring more ways to have fun! This is just another thing to add!!!! So to all the haters out there…. get a life, for real, stop dogging on somthing like a fitness video!!!
