Brazil Butt Lift Initial Review

I wanted to get this blog up last week after my first BBL workout. I also wanted it to be in video form, or at least part of it. Unfortunately, due to my lack of video editing skills, that didn't happen. I could have posted a video for you but it would have been roughly 30 minutes of my son talking to himself . So I opted not to post anything.

I figured a week would give me plenty of time to fully decide how I feel about this program and it did. I have tried out all of the workouts now and I have to say, my favorite is a tie between 'Bum Bum' and 'Cardio Axe'. Both are fun ad make you feel sexy in only the way that dancing the samba can be.



The program is all very dance related. Even the resistance training videos have elements of dance and incorporate dance moves to help you tone your tush. The main cardio is Cardio Axe and it is 30 minutes learning and dancing a routine. As expected there's a lot of booty shaking and hip shimmies involved.

I think the weak spot of this program is the core workout. It's not a bad workout, there's just a lot more crunch like movements involved then what I prefer. It's not terrible but it's not my favorite either (that would be Core20 from TurboFire!!). I also have to make the minor complaint that the music isn't my favorite. Again, not bad, it's just your typical workout video music and after doing TurboFire I think I'm now spoiled and want awesome and loud music in all my workouts!!

As far as results go, I'm a week in and I've lost one pound and am down .5% bodyfat. Which is pretty huge considering lately I have been struggling to lose anyweight, or body fat or inches...anything! I'm hoping I keep seeing results with it, I would like to have a nice booty to show off after working my muscles so hard!

In conclusion, Brazil Butt Lift seems to be a pretty sturdy program. It's a lot of fun, the instructor is cute and energetic and I've already gotten some results and am hoping to get some more before the month is through. Even if the number on the scale doesn't move, I can feel this program working all angles of my lower body which is exactly what I was looking for. It's by far the best lower body workout I have found so far and I think if I stick with it I will see some improvement in my Bum Bum!

Brazil Butt Lift Challenge Pack-What You Are Getting

I have a love/hate relationship with ordering stuff online. 

On one hand I love the waiting game, tracking my package on the various websites and then, when the day finally rolls around, knowing by the end of the day I'll have a package of goodies waiting on my porch. Plus I get to open boxes, and pull out all the shipping materials...makes it feel like Christmas in July to me. 

On the other hand that day when my order is supposed to arrive via postal service, which comes for me between 11 and noon usually, and than I check at 1:30 and it's NOT THERE! Saddest feeling ever. It's like Santa skipped my house! 
I feel your pain, random sad Christmas kid. I feel your pain.
However, when the mail lady finally drove by and stopped in front of my house, that awesome Christmas in July feeling came back and all was right in the world again. I had enough sense to wait until she pulled away (didn't want to be seen as the creepy stalker person I was actually being at that point) and ran out onto the porch to find not one, but two boxes with Beachbody printed all over the sides! 

Just imagine the packing labels are wrapping paper. See? Christmas in july!
So I immediately drop everything and open my boxes. 

Behind door number 1!!

Didn't expect this but cool! I got a recipe book. And just like the random socks on Christmas day, this was tossed aside for the big box! 

Door number 2, we have a winner!
So I got the Shakeology and Brazil Butt Lift program out of the box and started tearing into everything! 

The program itself has 3 disks with 2 workouts on each, plus the Basics on the first disk. Plus I got the bonus workout, Leandro's Secret Weapon workout. With the program came three guides and a pile of cards that have different moves printed on them for on the go workouts. 


The on-the-go workout cards


The 3 guides are:
1. The 6-day supermodel slim down plan, a way to boost your progress and according to the guide it's the same one Leandro gives to his supermodel clients when they have a major photo shoot coming up. 
2. Fat-burning foods, a pretty easy to follow nutrition guide with plenty of recipes to get you through your month long program.
3. The Booty Makeover Guide. This guide explains the method behind the booty lifting madness and also helps you decide which of the 4 programs to follow. You also are introduced to the pencil test to find out if your butt is lifted or not! The second half of the guide details each of the programs and breaks them down into what you'll do each day. I will be following the slim and shape plan for anyone that was wondering ;-)

Brazil Butt Lift challenge pack also comes with a measuring tape and measurement tracker to keep track of your results in a more reliable way than the scale and also a resistance band which I am assuming will be used to increase the leg toning soreness that I am about to endure! 

Since I have had many people want to know how it is, I will be starting my Butt Lifting fun today, so stay tuned for a review of my first impressions with the program!
