Brazil Butt Lift

Last week the boy and I were cleaning out the DVD cabinet and I found the Brazil Butt Lift box set ("The Supermodels' Secret To A Perfect Butt"), shoved to the back, still in the plastic packaging.  Seeing as we just returned from our vacation to a water park, where I had to reveal my backside for the first time this summer (swimsuit clad...of course), and being VERY SELF-CONSCIENCE THE WHOLE TIME, I felt I should break out the DVDs and get moving on the Butt Lifting/Toning Mission.  Because who doesn't want to have a Victoria's Secret Model Butt?!


The booklet outlines a 4 week schedule with meal suggestions.  Hmmmm.  So yesterday The Hubs and I took our measurements (he's going to do Yoga) and weighed in, and I let him take a before pic of my backside in a bikini bottom (cringe) which will never be viewed by anyone else.


Week 1 / Day 1


Got a late start due to a freak storm waking us up at 1:30 am and not being able to get back to sleep.


DVD #1 - Booty Basics DVD (20 min) to teach you the basic movements used in all the videos.  Little Man tried to do this with me but said it was too hard, gave up and went to the other room to watch cartoons.


DVD #2 was BUM BUM (35 min) Lunges, squats, leg lifts, booty shaking, over and over!  All the time the instructor, Leandro, is saying "Work that Bum Bum!"  Which sounded like Boom Boom. :D


By the end I sweating buckets and LM wanders in and says, "Good job Mom!"...grabs a bag of chips and walks back out.  I'm going to get him some Pom Poms and make him sit and cheer me on next time!


Things I figured out after today's workout:


1.  Trying to workout in my pajamas and no shoes was not a great idea.


2.  Having to do the "modified" movement sucks!  But that is the competitive side in me. :)


3.  I REALLY have NO RHYTHM but hoping that I can improve on that.


4.  Turn on the ceiling fan BEFORE starting the workout.  Sheesh!


I'll keep you posted on my progress!
