What Is the Brazil Butt Lift Booty Makeover Guide?

The Brazilian Butt Lift program is the brainchild of Leandro Carvalho, who promises that women and men can lift their butts and lose weight by following his 60-day program of energetic, calorie-burning movements set to upbeat Latin music. The exercise emphasis is on the three main muscles that combine to make up your caboose. The Booty Makeover Guide helps you determine your butt type and gives you a day-by-day guide to exercises.

  1. Working That Bum Bum

    • Carvalho says, "This workout program is designed to burn the maximum amount of fat while you lift and shape your booty." The workouts combine cardio, the disciplines of Brazilian dance and capoeira and his own signature lower-body sculpting moves to lift, firm and shape your bum bum (pronounced boom boom, Brazilian slang for your butt). TriAngle Training Workout Cards, containing detailed instructions on Carvalho's signature moves, and the Measurement Tracking Card are also part of the package.

    Training Like a Super Model

    • The butt-blasting videos include: "Bum Bum," Carvalho's signature moves; "High & Tight," which focuses on your trouble spots: hips, glutes and thighs; "Sculpt," a total-body workout; "Cardio Axe" (pronounced "ah-shay"), a dance-based routine for calorie burning; and "Tummy Tuck," a 15-minute ab routine. The Booty Makeover Guide provides the incentive to exercise each day. Even his Victoria Secret client depends on his six-day SlimDown plan to get into shape before a photo shoot.

    Mapping a Better Body

    • Brazil Butt Lift program recommends rewarding yourself.

      Day one warms you up with "Booty Basics," which runs approximately 20 minutes. Then you slide right into "Bum Bum," for 35 minutes. Day two starts off with "Cardio Axe" for 30 minutes and follows up with "High & Tight" for another 35 minutes. Then day three also starts with "Cardio Axe" and winds up with "Bum Bum." You know exactly where you're headed each day. Guess what? On day four you get to rest!

    Working Against Gravity

    • Need incentive? The Booty Makeover Guide helps you track progress.

      Many of the workouts use body weight for resistance, but Carvalho also includes resistance bands and ankle weights to up the ante as your fitness increases. On the first day of week two, the Booty Makeover Guide has you working the "Sculpt" program for about 50 minutes "with equipment." The following day, you start with "Cardio Axe" and move on to "High & Tight" with equipment for 35 minutes. Stick with it and start seeing results, pronto.
