Looking to tone and lift your bum naturally? Look no further than Beachbody’s Brazil Butt Lift program! In this article, we’ll take a look at the program in detail, from the workouts to the results you can expect. Keep reading for our honest review of BBL – we’ll let you know what we liked and didn’t like about it!
Do your hips and buttocks bother you? Then Beachbody has just the exercise for you. Let's have a look at the Brazilian buttlift outcomes, how the exercises were created to provide maximum results, and what we liked and disliked about the program.
What exactly is the Brazilian butt lift workout?
Because you'll be doing the workouts at home, they focus on the three muscles of your buttocks — gluteus maximus, medius, and minimus — so that you can shape your body without surgery.
The majority of exercises concentrate on one or two muscles at a time, which is insufficient for a comprehensive body workout. You may also end up with one region getting stronger while the others weaken, who cares!
Compare Beachbody workouts to one another to find a better fit for your body type. The exercise program isn't intended to expose your faults; instead, it's entertaining and surprisingly difficult.
Leandro Carvalhos choreographs his exercises to include dance and squats, lunges, and stretches so that they are enjoyable.
It was really nice to be able to do these exercises without having to go to the gym! They were both enjoyable and difficult.

- Only High & Tight and Bums Up are really good for sculpting.

Brazil Butt Lift Results
Leandro has a lot of experience working out other problem areas like the waist, thighs, and stomach while you're recovering from the lower body exercises.
Plus the nutrition guide helps you burn even more fat than just doing some random squats, lunging, and leg lifts.
“The greatest benefits were the fact that I started eating healthy and staying away from sugar products once I began taking Shakeology. With Brazilian Butt Lift my back pain went away as my back got strong. My posture improved, my buttocks rounded out and lifted too. The fat melted off my thighs and legs and I lost fifteen pounds!” — Michelle
There are four different Brazilian butt lift schedules.
To get the most out of working out alone, there are four different workout calendars available.
Different people need to eat at different times.
We all need something special to reach our goals.
For me, I want to be slimmer and stronger. My friends, however, would rather see a rounder bum.
If you aren't sure which plan you'd like, the included guide will help you figure out which one is best for YOU if you're not sure, and it outlines every workout for 60 days for maximum results for YOUR body.

If you want to get the best results from your workouts, then you need to be sure that you're using the right equipment.
You’ll need a sculpting band and an exercise mat.
You might also want some additional resistance bands for a few of the exercises and maybe ankle weights if you're adding to the intensity of the workout.
The butt exercises don't require any equipment at all.
What are the length of Brazilian butt lift workouts?
Brazil Butt Lift is designed to help women get rid of stubborn fat around the hips, thighs, buttocks, and rear end. Women who participate in the program lose weight quickly and safely without dieting or exercise. They also learn how to tone their bodies and sculpt their figures through simple exercises and stretches.
The Workouts range from 20 minutes to 50 minutes.
Does it help remove cellulite?
Yes, cellulite is something that most people experience at one point in their lives. However, there are ways to reduce its appearance through proper nutrition and exercise.
How hard is it?
It’s an easy beginner to intermediate workout. If you want to modify the moves and add some resistance, you can increase the intensity of bigger exercises or add weight.
How do you make workouts harder?
If you want to increase the difficulty level, you could use heavy resistance bands, an extra pound of weight, or even five pounds of weight. I personally use the five pound weight because I can easily adjust it for different exercises.
Don't be fooled by the bright lights and flashy dancing; these workouts are challenging. Even when using the ankle weights.
It’s going to hurt for a minute but then you’re going to want to go back for round two.
Fatigue is caused by the muscles becoming tired from working hard.
The Meal Plan
The meal plan is very flexible, which I liked. Nothing was ever off limit, and it includes a sample meal plan and recipe. You can choose to go with the meal plan or another one. I aim for 1400 calorie a day personally, and adjusted the plan to include less seafood.
You don't need to take Shakeology on the plan; you can drink it any time during the day.
It also includes Supermodel Slim Down
The 6-day slim down plan is a low calorie plan which also helps prevent bloat.
It’s an entire meal plan you can use to jumpstart your weightloss during the first and/or final weeks of the fitness program. Don't do this for too long, though.

Brazil Butt Lift Results
Final Thoughts
Brazil Butt Lift is a program designed to help women tone and lift their butts. The workouts are easy to follow, and the meal plan is flexible. You can also do the 6-day slim down if you need to jumpstart your weightloss. The program is available on Beachbody On Demand.
Brazil But Lift Frequently Asked Questions
Who is it for?
Brazil Butt Lift is for anyone. While it's designed for women, men who want to build their hip/pelvic region may also benefit from it, resulting in a stronger and less vulnerable body.
What equipment does it require?
No outside equipment. It comes with an exercise band.
Will this program make my butt smaller?
The aim of the program is to target not only your gluteus maximus, as most workouts do, but also your gluteus medius and minimus, as well as all of the muscles in the pelvic girdle. It does, however, burn body fat, so it's conceivable that your butt will deflate while expanding. More below.
Will this program make my butt bigger?
It's all about your booty. The aim isn't to make your butt any bigger than it is right now, but rather to lift it, firm it up, and make it seem better. The muscles will expand, but if you have extra body fat, it will shrink as you lose weight. A third possibility is that before you lose the pounds, you gain muscle. If this occurs, your rear may appear larger because the muscle pushes out the fat instead of adding to its size. It isn't so simple. The muscle simply pushes out the fat and once more, the fat should fall away as you continue losing weight, leaving behind a gorgeous Brazilian bum-bum.
Any advice on how to help the soreness in my legs the next day?
Do a stretching or foam rolling session either before or after your workout. Also, drink a recovery beverage right after every hard workout. Your body craves protein at this time as it repairs muscle; thus, you should give it all of the necessary building blocks by doing so.
Is this workout good if I have bad knees?
Knees are a difficult issue to tackle. The Brazil Butt Lift is quite gentle on the knees, and if you complete the program, your knees will get much stronger. These exercises target muscles of the pelvic girdle, which help your knees track better, reducing stress on them considerably. You should have the blessing of your doctor regardless or you risk injuring them further.
Will it hit other muscles besides my legs? Should I get another program for upper body?
It's a comprehensive body workout that won't increase your upper-body muscle mass. You may easily add upper-body training to the program if this is your aim.
Can I do the 21 Day Fix Eating Plan with Brazil Butt Lift?
Yes, just swap out the Bootylicious Meal Plan for the 21 Day Fix Eating Plan.
I missed a week due to vacation/work travel/sickness. Where do I start from today?
Missing a few days is nothing to be concerned about. Simply pick up where you left off in your routine. Your body will be fully recovered and robust after around five or six days of no activity, and you'll have the capacity to injure yourself by breaking down your fast-twitch muscle fibers.
If you can't do much of anything else because you're so sore, consider how unpleasant it is to work out for days on end. More than five days without exercising might make you too stiff to exercise. Start slowly the first day back, perhaps doing a third to half of your normal workout, and gradually increase over the course of a week or more until you reach your previous levels.
What’s the perfect next step?
You should be able to do almost any Beachbody intermediate program, such as ChaLEAN Extreme, TurboFire, or P90X3. Before diving into your next hard program, take a brief vacation from maintenance activity.
What is maintenance work?
It's a lot more difficult to get in shape than it is to keep yourself there. With approximately half the volume of your program, you can generally keep a level very close to peak performance.To You can use many different types of training to maintain, but the simplest is usually 3–4 days per week of the program you just completed. It will gradually lose its effectiveness over time, but after a while, you'll probably start another program or activity to make up for it.
Message From Leandro Carbalho Super Trainer Brazil Butt Lift Beachbody
Message from the creator of Brazil Butt Lift®, and if you’re tired of hiding your butt underneath oversized
T-shirts or beach towels, my red-hot workout is for you! As a native of Brazil, a former ballet dancer, and a fitness
trainer in New York City, I’ve helped sculpt some of world’s most beautiful bodies, including those belonging to several
of the world’s most successful lingerie and runway models. Back home in Brazil, women are not shy about their butts.
Quite frankly, they are obsessed with having a tight, lifted, and perfectly round butt, which we call the “bum bum” (pronounced “boom
boom”). And they inspired me to want to help women all over the world get the taut tush of the gorgeous girls on the beaches of Rio de Janeiro. So, in Brazil Butt Lift, I show you the very same moves I have used for years to help models and clients get “red carpet-ready” results. The “secret” behind my success is TriAngle Training. I use fat-burning cardio, Brazilian dance, and my signature sculpting moves to lift, firm, and shape a beautiful butt. By working the “bum bum” from all different angles, you will target every possible muscle fiber to get the ultimate booty-beautifying benefits. One of my mottos is: Don’t Settle For Less! With Brazil Butt Lift, I’ll make you work. But it will be
worth every second of sweat. Get ready for a brand-new butt.
Obrigado (thank you)
Why Brazil Butt Lift Is Different Than Other Workout Programs?
What makes Brazil Butt Lift different from all the other workouts that promise to deliver a great butt? The secret
is Leandro’s cutting-edge TriAngle Training technique. TriAngle Training works the three major muscles of the buttocks: the
gluteus maximus, medius, and minimus, working them from countless angles to lift, firm, and shape the perfect behind. You see, “it’s all about the angles,” as Leandro likes to say. When you work the butt muscles from multiple angles, you’re not only working those specific muscles, you’re also working the “heads” of the muscles, the parts that attach to the pelvic bone (which provides support between the upper and lower 6 parts of your body) and the hamstrings. This is what gives you the lift and shape that every woman wants. And that’s something you don't get from traditional butt exercises or machines, since they only focus on one muscle or angle. You’ll be tightening and toning
every inch of your butt while you do your cardio exercise, so your butt gets smaller as it gets more shapely and toned. To understand the muscle mechanics of your derriere, read on: The gluteus maximus is the largest and strongest of the three buttocks muscles. As the main muscle, it contributes to the lifted, fuller, and rounder appearance of your butt. Exercises like the Ipanema Walk and Curtsey Lunge help FIRM your butt and give it the roundness and fullness you want. The gluteus medius lies underneath the gluteus maximus on the outer surface of the hips. This muscle works to stabilize the pelvis during standing toning exercises and rotational movements. Engaging both of these muscles plays a key role in carving your butt and minimizing its size. SHAPE and slim this stubborn area with On the Beach Leg Lift,
Side Lunge Knee Up, and Suspended Clam. The gluteus minimus also lies underneath the gluteus maximus and works in conjunction with the medius. Work this small muscle to achieve the LIFT you want with moves like the Squat Arabesque, Kneeling Leg Lift, and
Attitude Kick Back. The gluteal muscles work in conjunction with the hamstrings, located on the backs of your thighs, to stabilize the pelvis and keep you steady throughout the standing and balancing portions of your workout. Toned hamstrings will also work with the glutes to contour your buttocks, giving them a flawless, crease-free finish. With TriAngle Training, you are working all 3 gluteals together along with the back of the thighs and the saddlebag area, so you get a tight, shapely booty, slimmer thighs, and the backside you’ve only dreamed about.
