Product Description
Hipper than Taebo, sexier than Pilates, The S Factor--stripping--is the hottest new fitness trend. Created by actress Sheila Kelley (LA Law, Sisters, and a host of film and Broadway roles), S-Factor classes are wildly popular and generating an avalanche of attention from Extra, Entertainment Tonight, The Los Angeles Times, Allure, Us magazine, Fox News, and CBS's 48 Hours, which proclaimed: "Women don't even know they're working out until two months later when they say, 'I've never had a better body in my life. I'm strong, I'm limber, I feel great.'" Sheila even convinced Barbara Walters to try a pole dance on The View.
No wonder. Combining yoga, dance, and erotic movements, The S Factor is a program that tones muscle, firms the body, increases flexibility, promotes weight loss, and gives you a few new tricks for the bedroom. Illustrated in hundreds of photographs that show step by step how each move is done, the exercises are sensual yet demanding, requiring a balance of strength and finesse. There are slow, rounded warm-ups, the Spine Circles and Hip Circles. Strenuous motions, like the Rocking Cat-Cow. Peels and rolls, grinds, pounces, arches. And pole work, from the Firefly to Descending Angel.
Something else happens, too: These exercises and routines boost self-esteem and give women a new way to think about their bodies. Stripping is a liberating act, out of which comes a new look, new body, new confidence, new you.

 Sensuality at its BEST!! March 31, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book doesn't just teach you about pole dancing, it teaches you to love yourself no matter what. This is for you first and then anyone else after. Sensual and empowering!
a great book February 8, 2008
I'm a complete beginner when it comes to exotic dance: I've been practicing belly dance for a few years now, and wanted to make it a little more provocative for those special occasions. I had always felt goofy when trying to be sexy, like I had no idea what I was doing and just looked silly. This book is the first instruction of any kind I have had. As the other reviews have stated, this book is really well laid out, though I recommend additional instruction by means of video eventually. There is only so much you can learn from a book. The workout was awesome: it tones in a subtle manner and makes you feel sexy all at once, which is a wonderful alternative to traditional pilates and yoga.

This book was uninspiring. Once you thumb though it once, it is enough. Maybe the video is better, if you want to drop $75. I think verbal instruction and music would help. When you head is on the floor, looking up to read what is next, is when I got up and shut the book.
Amazing book! June 23, 2006

This book is great! Being a full-time student I couldn't afford the DVDs(which are available at sfactor.com), but the book is still amazing. It's not just exercises, but a makeover in a book! It's fun, sexy, with just a bit of wickedness. Before this book, I was the laziest person in the world who lacked motivations, but this book has definitely given me the confidence boost that I needed, not to mention a great body with a touch of femininity. I definitely recommend this book for anyone and everyone that wants to feel sexy.
Sheila Kelley has *class* April 23, 2006

This is by far one of the *best* books about how to feel sensual, and on moving your body to be seductive and sensual.
Her instructions are easy to understand, and the moves are graceful, feminine, and incredibly beautiful! You can tell she has had an extensive background in ballet and dance, which enhances the elegance and beauty of the moves.
The exercises and warm-ups are equally sensual, and they work as to fitness!! Your body will feel like you have done something. The stretches and poses and gliding from one pose to another are again, elegant, beautiful, and sensuous.
She makes you *love* moving your body and discovering a whole new element of expressing yourself.
Other books and DVD's on stripping look clumsy compared to hers.
