Eat “clean” carbohydrates such as fresh fruit and brown rice. Fruit also helps you replace sugary snacks while still getting the feeling of eating sweets. Carbs also tend to slow you down, so they make it harder to feel energized for your workouts.
Eggs and peanut butter are great sources of protein, but remember they are high in fat. Eating just the egg whites reduces the fat, and some stores sell lower fat peanut butter.
Oats, seeds, and beans are good sources of fiber, as well. Fiber comes from many other sources, too, but they may be higher in fat content.
You’ll be working out a lot to get a stripper’s body, which makes you lose water through sweat. You’ll need to increase your water intake as you sweat more. Drink a big glass of water before meals to feel full faster. Also be sure to drink extra water right after a workout to help avoid cramps in your muscles.
It’s important to move slowly through the full motion of ab exercises. Don’t swing your arms up or bounce your back off the ground. Momentum reduces the work your abs have to do. Effectively sculpting your abs requires you to do a high number of reps during each workout. Even if you start with a low number, keep working to increase your daily reps. Don’t do the exact same exercises every day. Mix it up to keep your muscles from getting into a routine.

Body-weight exercises like push-ups, pull-ups, and dips are great for toning your muscles. Doing a basic weight machine circuit at the gym will help you make sure to hit all of your muscle groups. Try out a few weight routines to find the one that sculpts your body best. Not every workout routine works for every guy.
Do a heavy weight day once a week or so to keep things varied. High weights help you pack on muscle mass, so you don’t want to neglect it completely. It kind of depends on what your body is like to start with. If you have solid muscle hidden under fat, low rep workouts help you tone and lose the fat.
Other types of plyometric workouts are good for combining legs and cardio work. Run up and down stairs, do jump ropes, or do high knees to work your legs. Find a balance between muscle-building workouts where you lift weights and toning workouts.
Various high intensity sports are a good alternative if cardio exercises bore you. Play basketball, racquetball, ultimate frisbee, or soccer for a great cardio workout.
The pubic area is another spot which requires grooming. How much hair you trim is up to you, but male strippers typically have little to no pubic hair.
Always be careful when trimming, especially around your pubic region. Electric trimmers can pinch your skin if you aren’t careful.
Find the right length depending on how much hair you have. If you have thick hair across your entire torso, the shortest length is probably best. If you aren’t comfortable trimming your body hair this short, the stripper look might not be for you.
Whether or not you should shave yourself down to the skin is both a personal preference and up to your boss, if you have one. Apply a hot towel to your skin before you shave to open the pores and raise the hairs.
Keep in mind that once you shave a portion of skin completely, you’ll have to continue to shave or the hair will grow back thicker. It will also itch once it starts getting long again.
