If you’re looking for real Brazil Butt Lift Results, then I am really glad you found your way here. I went into my online BBL journey thinking I would just review the product and slim down a little bit, but I had no idea it would change my body as much as it did.
My Background Briefly
After many years of sitting at a desk and living an unhealthy, inactive lifestyle, I was left with large, unsightly saddlebags, a muffin top, and cellulite on almost every part of my body – even the not-so-fat parts of me. Pair that with a much smaller chest, and well, you have me…who happens to have an obvious pear-shaped figure.
After feeling sorry for myself for a while, missing out on any fun in the summer sun and longing for the lean, muscular dancer’s body I once possessed, I knew I had to do something about it – that’s when I decided to do the Brazil Butt Lift workout, an at-home workout program targeted at the area of my body I’d hated for almost all of my adult life – my butt and thighs. While I figured there was nothing that would cure my genetically disproportionate hips, I hoped it would smooth my silhouette some to the point where I could comfortably wear shorts or bathing suit again without feeling entirely self-conscious.
My Brazil Butt Lift Workout Results
I really hate admitting I didn’t believe Leandro’s promise of getting a smaller, sexier body in 60 days. Let’s face it, after putting on years of fat and cellulite, what were the chances it would go away in only two months?! All you ever read is how cellulite is impossible to get rid of, and if you’re pear-shaped, then you will never ever come close to an hourglass figure. So 60 days to get supermodel sexy? I didn’t think so either.
Then there were the issues of Brazil Butt Lift’s Before & After results photos everywhere online. The problem I have with these is that it shows others’ images with the caption, “Before & After” – it doesn’t tell you if the image is the person’s 60 day results or if they repeated the program once, twice, or even longer. While it really doesn’t matter if someone lost 100 lbs overall, looks absolutely fantastic, and it took them over a year to get there (that’s awesome & amazing, btw), I wanted to see just how much the program could really change your body in just one time through – eight weeks only. This is why I chronicled my entire BBL journey for the world to see – so that you really could see how BBL can change your body not only by the final day, but also the real changes from week to week.
Below are just a few more of my 60-day Brazil Butt Lift Before & After results. As you can see for yourself, the Brazil Butt Lift program really can transform your body.
Brazil Butt Lift Not Just a Perfect Butt
If you have no butt, too much butt or are genetically pear-shaped, then the Brazi Butt Lift program is the right workout for you. It doesn’t just help with your tush.
It’s a Total Body Workout…
Too often women who think they need to lose more fat off their arms or their stomachs, not necessarily their butts, never consider trying the Brazil Butt Lift. However, Brazil Butt Lift is the secret to a sexy beach body – from your shoulders to your toes. In fact, my sister commented on how great my arms looked :)
It’s really not only for those lacking the perfect derriere – it helps you lose all unwanted fat and gives you a sleek and sexy silhouette you may have never seen – or not seen in several years :) Just look at the difference it made in my chin (I have a defined jawline once again!), my belly, my calves, my shoulders, my arms, and my back.
BBL is Fun…
The trainer in the video series, Leandro Carvalho, has an awesome personality. He’s fun, he’s energetic, and most importantly, he makes you want to push yourself to your limits as a very encouraging trainer. Combine this with a killer workout that is actually enjoyable to do, and you have an at-home workout program that will get you results and that you’ll want to stick with.
It’s also very dance oriented, which is what initially got my attention. If you like to dance, then this is a great workout for you as it incorporates a lot of hip swings and dance moves – all with a bit of a Brazilian flare. It’s really a ton of fun…
It’s a Great Choice Whether You’re an Exercise Enthusiast or a Couch Potato…
It’s Very Easy to Tone Down to your Current Fitness Level
One of the best things about the BBL workout is that you don’t have to be in top shape to reap the benefits of the Brazil Butt Lift. When I first started, I was out of shape and got out of breath with my heart pounding very easily. Let’s just say I couldn’t finish Cardio Axe without having to walk it out now and then or tone down the moves, not jumping around quite as much or doing the moves as powerfully. Luckily as time goes by and you lose some weight and gain more endurance, the workouts do get easier, and you can really begin to give it your all without settling for less.
Already in Shape?
Of course if you’re already in shape but just want to try something new or really shape up your booty, then the Brazil Butt Lift is a fun alternative to whatever else you’ve been doing. All you need to do is make the moves a little bit larger or jump a little bit higher. Cardio Axe is only as hard as you make it to be. If you’re swinging your hips around, shaking your shoulders and really feeling sexy while you’re doing the workout, then you will definitely get results.
My BBL Before and After Measurements?
The Brazil Butt Lift really works. I still can’t believe the change the Brazil Butt Lift program made in my body – not just my butt. I no longer have saddlebags pushing out, and I can once again fit into the pants I wore several years ago. Even the clothes I wore ten years ago are now too big! Plus, it even got me a sleek, sexy stomach. That’s right…the Brazil Butt Lift will give you a great looking stomach too! Maybe not a ripped six-pack, but a flat toned tummy.
| Before | Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 | Week 4 | Week 5 | Week 6 | Week 7 | Final Weigh In | |
| Waist in Inches | 27.0 | 25.75 | 25.0 | 24.75 | 24.0 | 24.0 | 23.75 | 23.75 | 23.5 |
| Hips in Inches | 39.75 | 38.0 | 37.0 | 36.5 | 36.0 | 35.75 | 35.5 | 35.0 | 34.0 |
| Weight in lbs | 141.2 | 139.0 | 136.8 | 135.4 | 135.0 | 134.0 | 130.6 | 129.8 | 125.0 |
I never thought my body could change so much in only 60 days, but it has – all thanks to Leandro and his unique Brazil Butt Lift workout. While I’m still slightly pear-shaped (nothing I can do about bone structure), I don’t have jiggles everywhere below my waistline. I LOVE my new beach body. And if you think that I happened to get lucky with my results, you’re wrong. There are hundreds of thousands of other women and a few men for whom the Brazil Butt Lift has transformed their lives, and their bodies.
Want to Try the Brazil Butt Lift Today and Change Your Body
If you think you’ve tried every workout out there is to get you the beach-ready body you’ve always wanted and never gotten the results you want, then you haven’t tried the Brazil Butt Lift workout program.
With a healthy, wholesome diet with tasty meals, desserts and snacks, combined with a fun workout that will have you looking sexy in no time, there’s no way it won’t work for you if you follow it. You just have to make the decision to change your body and just do it.

Hi I’m having difficulties performing the High & Tight floor mat movements with the weights – the clam shell etc I feel like it’s targeting my calves maybe a bit of my front thigh but feeling nothing in my glutes. Did you have this problem?
Hi Annie, no I felt it in my butt, especially the clam shell.
Be sure that you have the exercise band correctly positioned and really concentrate on your form. I know in the videos they leave the ankle weights on when doing the resistance band exercises, but remove the ankle weights for those and just use the band. Taking the ankle weights on and off might be a pain, but I think it will help with your form. -Bethany
Hi Bethany,
I just started about a week ago, and every time I do a workout I feel as though I am not going to get anywhere. I literally have the same body as you did and it depresses me everyday; to the point its hard to control my crying. I hate my saddlebags my cottage cheese legs and my huge thighs. I’m 5’7 waist is 26 1/2″, hips 33 1/2″, Butt 37″, and thighs (single leg) 23″. Can you help me to reassure myself?
Also, should I do other workouts along with BBL?
Thank you,
Katy
Hi Katy – first of all, you need to stop focusing on the negative. You will never be able to reach your goals if you don’t believe you can. I know it’s hard when you’re feeling sorry for yourself. I also had days like those when I would look at myself in the mirror and wonder how I ever got there. But then I realized that it was never going to change unless I did something about it, which is when I finally decided to do BBL and stick with it.
And if I can do it, you can do it too! I’m not special. In fact, your shape is exactly like mine, so there is no doubt in my mind you can look just as good, if not better than I did by the end. It just takes commitment for the full eight weeks, but if you really believe you can, you will.
You just need to empower yourself and give each workout your all. Every workout, try to envision how you want your body to look at the end of the program and how these workouts are going to help you get there. But remember, diet is just as important too.
Seriously, so you have saddlebags, so what?! I had them too, and so don’t hundreds of thousands of women. They’re not permanent. You can get rid of them, you can change your body…they don’t run your life – you do. So, take ownership, get in a positive frame of mind, and kick your saddlebags in the butt…literally! If you keep with the program and eat right, you will get the body you’ve always wanted…I promise. You just have to stick with it, use the heaviest weights you can safely use for each and every workout, use ankle weights, and you will see real results. I hope this helps, but please let me know if you have any questions. Good luck, and keep going! You’re doing a great job!
PS – Just follow BBL’s combination schedule. Anything else will be too much.
Thank you so much, this has and will help me stay strong; not just for the eight weeks, for the rest of my life. You are right, I am not the only women out there that has those dreadful saddlebags. I can, and I will do this! Thank you so much again for these strong, meaningful words (:
Hi Bethany,
Your entire website and achievement is awe-inspiring. I made it a point to go through each and every article..Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I am planning to start the Slim & Lift Schedule from Monday…past 5 days have been trying out each routine. I just need to ask you two questions..Is it necessary to practice 2 routines at the same time or can I practice them as morning-evening routine? Can I conitnue doing yoga along with this schedule?
Thank you so much once again for your website…and hopefully soon I will have similar results
Hi Biatrix, you can split the workouts into morning/night or do them back to back, whatever works best for your schedule. And, yes you can continue with your Yoga practice. -Bethany
Bethany, Thank you so much for replying…Today is my first day , as I have a pear body shape, have decided to go ahead with Slim n Shape. Planning to workout during evenings, so am looking forward to my Bum Bum time:-)
I tried becoming a member with beachbody, but unfortunately India does not show in the country option..Please advice me how can I become a member and have you as my coach?
Warm Regards

Hi Bethany,
I had seen the BBL advertisement on TV but it wasn’t until I read your review and had seen your pictures that Idecided to commit myself and purchase the program. I’m midway through completing Week 4 of the Slim & Lift Program and I’m having some great results (already lost 7kg with the help of the 6 Day Supermodel Slimdown Plan). But I just wanted to know for my final 4 Weeks do I start back at Week 1 of the Slim & Lift program or should I move onto the Combination program starting from Week1. I just want to make sure that I’m using the best program in order to receive maximum results. I’m hoping you can give me some direction as I never received the 60 day calendar that they advertised. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks.
Hi Sandra, awesome results! You are supposed to switch to the combination schedule to begin week five. But, if you are seeing results with the Slim & Lift schedule repeating might be better and if your results start to stagnate then you can switch to the combo schedule. -Bethany
Hey Bethany! I just turned 20 and about a month ago I weighed myself and was crushed to see that I reached 151 pounds. Over the past few weeks I’ve been walking about a mile and a half to two miles every other day and have been eating clean with the acception of a tiny bit of desert every once in a while. Since then I believe I’ve gotten down to about 148-149. I’m 5’6 by the way.
Anyway, this last week I’ve cut out desert and I started bbl on Monday. Well actually I did Mondays work outs and walked 2 miles Tuesday. I think I pushed myself too hard on Monday because I have to pull myself out of chairs and can barely roll over in bed! Bending over to feed my dog is even difficult. Maybe I’m just being a baby about it.. But when I was doing Bum Bum I could only do half lunges and half squats. After a certain point my legs were practically giving out on me and I was having a hard time with balance. :( I’m trying not let it discourage me though! I was thinking tonight I might do the ab video and attempt bum bum or high and tight and if it’s too hard do some stretching and give it another shot tomorrow. I’m hoping I’ll build up a little more strength and endurance and get more comfortable with the moves and then restart the combination plan next Monday. What are your thoughts?
My ultimate goal is to become healthy and fit but I would also be so happy if I could break 130 by April. I have spring break and a wedding that month. Do you think that would be possible even when I’m this out of shape?
I’m sorry this is so long! Thank you so much for your website, it has really motivated me to become healthier!!

Hi Savannah – Bum Bum is a hard workout – no doubt about it. I hated that workout in the beginning when I couldn’t do it. Not only did the moves hurt, I couldn’t keep up with the workout cardiovascularly. My advice: don’t worry if you can’t finish the workouts in the beginning – I couldn’t either! I paused the DVDs and/or walked it out when I had to. My advice would be to do real lunges and squats like they do to get the most out of the moves, but don’t do as many/go as fast as they do. And if you really are that sore, don’t worry about jumping back into the workouts. Do what you’ve said and work another body part until your legs feel better. I’d do Tummy Tuck and Cardio Axe (High & Tight will hurt too much!) for now and restart the program next Monday. You can walk too, if you feel like it, because that will help loosen up your tight muscles.
The best part is that you’re keeping a good attitude and are not going to quit – you just have to push through it and do your best. That is the only way you’re going to get your body the way you want it by April. The good news is that with time and with each passing week, you really will build endurance. Before you know it, you’ll be finishing Bum Bum with no problems…well maybe not without a little bit of work, but you’ll be finishing it :) And remember, diet is everything – you will never have a perfect body without watching what you put into your body – while I wouldn’t recommend depriving yourself entirely of things you love…do so in moderation and really keep track of your calories online. You should be eating no more than 1400 calories a day until you reach your goal weight. Good luck!
Hi Bethany!
Thank you so much for the reply :) I did what you said and exercised the rest of that week and restarted the monday after and now I’m half way through week two!! I’m so happy and proud! That very first day was the only time I got painfully sore, now I just ache a bit but I’m happy I do! I’ve also been very proud of my diet! I’ve been averaging about 1300 clean calories a day.
Anyway, week two has been kicking my butt. I’ve been trying to push myself a bit more each day. Yesterday was my first time using the resistance band on H&T and I’m not really that sore per say as my muscles are tired (if that makes sense.) I was just doing Bum Bum and my heart rate monitor was saying 178 and I was having to walk it out and go slower than usual. I wasn’t even doing it as well as I have been previously so I’m a little confused as to why it was so difficult this time. But I finished it and tried my best! I think I will save Sculpt for this evening.
Sorry for the rant! Here’s for my question.. I hope it isn’t confusing!
This weekend I’m going on a trip and I’ve planned it so I’ll be back early enough Monday to get my workout in but Saturday and Sunday I’ll be so busy that I don’t think there’s anyway I’ll be able to. I will be walking a good bit on both days though! I’m doing the Classic schedule twice, by the way. Do you think it would be okay if I did this Saturdays H&T on the fourth sunday of the program along with a walk and then did this Saturdays Tummy Tuck on the 6th Sunday along with a walk? I’d do both on the fourth sunday but I’m not sure if I should do Tummy Tuck three days in a row.
Thank you for all of the motivation and advice!
– Savannah
Hi Savannah, honestly I would just skip the workouts. It’s not going to make any difference by the time you hit the sixth Sunday. Just get in as much activity as you can this weekend and eat clean. It happens – just move on…don’t worry about it.
As for feeling more tired this week than last week, it could have anything to do with the variety of different food groups you’re eating to hormones to stress levels, so I wouldn’t worry about it too much. Just make sure you’re taking a multivitamin to supplement any vitamins and minerals you might be missing out on. And btw, Bum Bum is a really hard workout. I’m telling you…I couldn’t even finish it all the way through until the sixth week. Just do your best. Hope this helps – keep up with the good work!
Hi, I am really interested in purchasing BBL. Which kit do you recommend? I’m leaning toward the plus kit because it has those extra workouts. I’m pretty petite naturally, but I am really unhappy about my upper thighs and saddlebags. This seems like it would be a good workout for those stubborn areas.
Hi Melanie, I used to recommend the base kit to everyone, but now I recommend the deluxe plus kit as it contains everything you need for the workouts! And, yes it is the best workout program I have done for the upper thighs and saddlebag areas.
Hi darling, well done on your results! You look fabulous!!
I am exactly your measurements before you started Except I’m 26 on the waist, so I look like a balloon :( I am amazed by your results!!! 34 hips? Thats like a dream!! I’ve been trying to get to 37 for years as well! Hoping this bring good things for me too!
I have bought this DVD and can’t wait to get started! I’m scared though, my fitness isn’t great.
Did you enjoy buying a whole new wardrobe? ;) Something hopefully to look forward to!
Hi Kate, thank you for your compliments. I have to tell you, I did have to buy new clothes, because going down from an 8 to a size 0 or 2 (depending on the manufacturer:)) is apparently a big enough difference that none of my pants or skirts would stay around my hips – they would literally fall off.
If you watch what you put into your body, follow the Classic schedule, and just do your best each and every workout, you can get the body you’ve always wanted and be shopping for new clothes in 60 days. Don’t worry if you can’t do the workouts in their entirety when you first start out… I couldn’t. I was quite literally a couch potato before BBL. I couldn’t walk up a flight of stairs without my heart rate spiking. Just pause the dvd or walk it out when you need to and don’t do as many reps or jump as high as they do. No one is judging you, so don’t judge yourself – you are your own worst enemy, so don’t let negative thoughts get the best of you. Just do the best you can and stick with it! With each passing week, you will notice a difference in how far along you can go through the workouts with having to pause the DVD or walk it out, because your endurance will build with each passing week. Before you know it, you’ll be finishing the workouts and laughing when you look back on how you weren’t able to make it through 10 minutes of the workout when you first started. Good luck – if you have any questions, just ask.
Good luck – you can do it! Just go for it, and you will not regret it :)
I I am currently doing the booty workout. I just finished week 1, my legs are feeling pretty sore. what would you do to relieve the soreness? I am currently eating healthy and following the program for the flat booty, another question I have is when you were doing the workout Brazil booty were you also doing other things to lose weight such as running or any cardio? I know the workout gives you one day to recover on those days would you do any types of exercise or just relax? Final question were you want any specific diet during your journey? I’m very motivated and just want to get the best results!
Hi Merissa, to cut down on soreness, make sure you’re warming up and stretching enough before and after a workout, and that you are eating enough protein accompanied by a healthy, well-rounded whole foods diet. You can even take a nice warm bath to alleviate muscle soreness – it gets the blood flowing to ease any aches. The good news is you’ll begin to feel less sore as you continue to work out.
On my off days, I did yoga or took the dogs for a long walk. I did not do extra cardio on those days. For diet, I did do the 6-day supermodel slimdown and followed the BBL diet for some of it, and then I followed a whole foods diet, cutting out refined carbs and sugars and eating in healthy ratios of proteins to carbs to fats. I tried to stay away from food after 7pm and only ate grainy carbs one time per day. I ate lean proteins, lots of veggies and fruits, nuts, natural peanut butter, and brown rice or oatmeal. I also drank Shakeology for at least one meal per day. I would mix it with frozen fruit or peanut butter (depending on flavor), and it was yummy! If you have the money, it’s honesty worth it, since you don’t have to make one meal of the day, and it’s super healthy. If you’re interested, you can read more about Shakeology here or purchase it here. I hope this helps. Good luck!
Hi I have purchased bbl bbl workout 1 1/2 years ago but never started. I finished p90x last year and got pregnant so now I’m a breastfeeding mom of 4 month baby boy and would want to start bbl but I am not sure if I can while breastfeeding if its not not affect my milk supply. Thanks.
Hi Marta – it is entirely safe to exercise while still breastfeeding your baby, but here are some tips to follow:
1. Feed your baby before you work out. It will not only help settle your little boy, so you get a quiet, well-focused workout, but getting your milk out before you work out will also be much more comfortable for you, because your breasts won’t be engorged with milk – which leads me to #2.
2. Wear an extra supportive, high quality sports bra. An extra supportive bra will not only keep the girls from bouncing around and becoming very uncomfortable, it will also help reduce nipple friction.
3. Drink extra water. It is imperative to stay hydrated, so make sure to drink 2-3 additional glasses of water before and during your workout, so you don’t get dehydrated. Dehydration will reduce the water from your milk supply and leave you feeling less than comfortable.
4. Lose weight slowly. You can safely lose one pound of fat per week without compromising your milk supply.
Good luck – if you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks for the answer. How about the diet plan? I was thinking to start with 6 days slim down plan but not sure if this is ok to for me and also I was reading that I need eat more calories when breastfeeding.I am totally ok with changing my eating habits because I did this before with p90x I stick to the diet maybe not 100% eating what is in a diet plan but I eliminate sweets and and eating healthy. Now I started again eat all this junk and looking almost same how it wos before p90x.So I am more than ready to loose weight and start program. I hope that sticking to the diet will not affect my milk supply.Omg I cant wait to look sexy again!
Hi Marta, don’t do the 6-day slim down if you are breastfeeding. Just concentrate on eating healthy foods and the less processed foods you consume the better. For starters, I would try to avoid unnatural sugar, and then try to start eliminating foods that contain salt or white flour. -Bethany
Hi Bethany,
I am planning to buy BBL, but i’m wondering if this program can help me.
i don’t need to lose weight coz im only 110lbs, my problem is my flat butt and some belly fats.
do you think this work out can help me?
thanks!
Hi Karen – BBL is not just for lessening the size of bigger butts, it’s also designed to help with every other possible butt problem…including one that is too square or too flat. So yes, it can definitely help you by adding shape to your bottom. You would just need to follow the Lift & Shape schedule, which does not as much cardio as some of the other plans do, but has more of the butt sculpting moves that will get you a higher, more well-rounded tush. Just make sure to use the heaviest ankle weights you possibly can (5lb adjustables work best) and the heaviest dumbbells you can, because the added weight is what is really going to shape you up…literally :) Good luck!
Hi Bethany, firstly congratulations on your results, they’re amazing and very inspiring!! I am hoping to get into shape in the new year and am excited to start an exercise programme. I’m 17 years old, 5ft5 and currently weigh about 156lbs and wish to lose about 25lbs to start off with. I have T25, Insanity and BBL. Do you think it would be a good idea for me to do T25 at the same time as BBL in order to see some results, I am pretty confident that I can stick with it but am not sure whether that is the way to go around trying to lose the weight? I just really want to be able to maximise the results I get in these 60 days. Thank you :)
Hi Mary – thank you for your compliments :) Unfortunately, Beachbody workouts are not meant to be performed by anyone under the age of 18. You would really need to talk to your doctor about what they feel is best for you, since when you’re young, there are safer ways to lose weight than with intense exercise programs and restricted calorie diets. Your body can still be growing at your age. I know when I was your age, I was 5’6 1/2″, but now, I’m 5’8″. I’m sorry I couldn’t be of more help right now. Good luck!
hi bethany
its been a long time since i last wrote to you here
im very happy with my results and im continuing to do the BBL classic sec
however i was womdering if it affects the outcome if i were to change the order of the workouts in one day
say today i have cardio axe and high and tight
what if i started with high and tight then did cardio axe would that change anything]
thanks
will this workout give me a hour glass shape body?
Hi Susan, I can’t answer that one for you. Body shape unfortunately depends a lot upon genetics. What it will do is tone and shape you up. -Bethany
Bethany,
I am so inspired by you!! Thank you for sharing your success story. I actually found your video on youtube while searching for BBL ‘before and afters’. I read your info and ended up here. I am starting BBL tomorrow. I have a Beachbody coach (who was actually a high school friend), and an amazing support group on facebook to do the challenge with. Some are doing insanity, hip hop abs, etc. I am so stoked!! Your story only made me more excited and determined.
I am 5’2″, 123 lbs. I worked over the last year and a half and was able to lose 40 lbs. However, as exciting and prideful as it was, it was primarily by cutting calories. I did do some treadmill walking, but as you know, that low impact isn’t much good. I am doing this mainly for toning. Sooo my question for you is this…my coach and a couple other challengers are swearing by Shakeology. I am intimidated by the price tag! :-/ If I am already at a weight I am fairly comfortable with (I put 110 lbs as my goal on beachbody), would I really benefit from the investment while doing BBL? I understand the foods I should and shouldn’t eat from my previous weight loss journey. My fat/carb/protein ratio may not be exactly as it should be, but maintaining calories is not a problem for me. What do you think? Any other words of advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated. I am excited, as I said, but I’m scared to death of the pain I know I am going to be in on Tuesday! Lol! Did you start just as the schedule said? …or did you take it easy the first couple days/workouts? Also, I intend to buy the ankle weights, but can I do the 60 days without the bands? Thank you in advance and, again, congratulations on your transformation and hard work. You look phenomenal!!
Hi Erin, thank you for the kind words!
If the price of Shakeolgy is an issue, you definitely do not need it to get an amazing transformation! For a lot of people Shakeolgy is great because it is convenient. As long as you concentrate on your diet and eat nutritious foods you’ll be fine.
I started very slowly to begin with, lots of walking in place to get my heart rate down and the first couple of sculpt workouts I went easy on the weights.
Yes, I think you should also invest in bands along with the ankle weights, high & tight may seem like torture as the first couple of times, but you’ll soon need the bands and ankle weights to push yourself in the workouts. Good Luck – Bethany
hey love, i dont think u will remember me but i commented last year and i told u im doing bbl and all, but i didnt get results like urs, but probably coz i skipped alot of workouts becoz by the second month i had finals and i didnt have time to do anything else except study. anyway, my problem area is my legs, and not alot of programs focus on that, and i hate them to the point where i cry alot. and im currently doing turbofire, so i thought why not add bumbum and high & tight, since they’re the most effective workouts on the program, so i’ll follow the bbl calendar but only with bumbumm and high nd tight, with turbo. so what do you think, is it a good idea? becoz i rlly wanna fix my legs, my hips are big and the saddlebags ekk dont get me started. thank you.
Hi Jumm – I do remember you, how are you? I think adding Bum Bum and High & Tight to your Turbo Fire is a great idea if you have enough time to do it all. Another great Beachbody workout that tones up your legs quickly is Focus T25. It’s only a short 25 minutes a day, but it really gets your legs looking slim and muscular. You also really need to watch your diet and stick to the program to see the results you want.
Unfortunately, you can’t half commit to the program to get the results you’re looking for. Just make sure you have enough time right now to really decide to commit, so you can succeed and get the body you’ve always wanted. If finals are coming up soon, now may not be the best time. And don’t let your body be the cause of your tears. Stop thinking about much you hate your body, and instead, focus on how great your legs will look when you’re finished – it’s a great tool for motivation. You can do it, Jumm – there is no doubt in my mind. Good luck!
So i ordered this plan and when doing the first few days I felt like I had not coordination and was really awkward doing the videos. Is this normal? I am feeling like I have got to look like a total idiot because I know I am not getting all moves and I sure cant keep up, I wonder if its doing any good.
Hi Nichole, you’ll get the moves down in no time. The first few times through the videos can be tricky, but you’ll start to see how the moves work together and you’ll get the coordination down, it can just take some time. -Bethany
In Every brazilian buttlift result I see no lift just an overly shrunken tush, and somtimes even worse a flat tush. Your results are nice if you were going for a skinny straight figure. I liked your before pictures more than after, and this the case for most results I see. all you did is burn away the precious little muscle you had. Theres no definition now these workouts are the same as continous cardio. Ever wonder why long distance runners never have the nicest bodies? Personally, the best advice for anyone reading this if you are loosing more than 3-4 pounds a week something is wrong with this picture (may not have been your case). But does anyone ever wonder why most biggest loser contestants look smaller, yet have no definiton? Burned muscle. Muscle is our friend. Some heavy squats, deadlifts, lunges, and a couple upper body movements is all you need to shape your booty and entire body. To lose fat eat right, walk up stairs, hills is suffice. Now to gain some muscle you will have to gain a little wait. If you lifted heavy you would of built muscle, and raised you metabolism. Most girls who do this end up like sticks and toneless. Some girls like yourself had a nice tush just needed some heavy wait to firm it up, and the other thigs I mentioned. If you are happy with this look great though. I’m sorry for running my mouth. If this is what you wanted than I am senerely happy for you. I just felt your body needed minor tweaks. Embrace your curves dont get rid of them just make sure they’re in the right places. Your body had a lot of potential and will continue to have potential. Just have to have the right routines.
Thanks for the comment. It is kind of hard to tell from the photos, but trust me I’m not that skinny! And, yes I agree losing 3-4 pounds a week is too much, a better goal would be 1-2 for long term weight loss. -Bethany
Hi Bethany –
I’m really enjoying your site. It’s nice to find realistic, down to earth information about BBL. I’ve been interested in it for a while and my order just arrived today! Little glitch though – apparently I ordered the Master series! I’m thinking I should probably reorder the initial BBL program and complete that before I try anything that contains the word “Master” in the title. Thoughts?
Thanks!
Jennifer
Hi Jennifer, yeah you will likely want to order the BBL basic workout package. The masters series is for people who have graduated from the BBL workout. The masters series does come with a BBL/Masters hybrid schedule you could follow, but that would still require the beginner workouts. -Bethany
Hey, Bethany ! I am so happy for you.. I found your video on youtube and it really inspired me alot because I always looked for a solution and never really found one …I have a pear shaped body and also felt the exact the same way you felt with that extra weight on the hipps. I want to start with the Brazil Butt Lift program now and will try my hardest to get good results. I was wondering where to get the CDS and if they ship it to any country?
Hi Sara – the best way to buy BBL is through this link to Team Beachbody. This is the only place where you get the free bonus DVD workout with your purchase of the program. I do believe they ship the workouts internationally, but you may have to call for that, but you can still use the above link to get you to their website. Hope that helps :)
hello!
My body is like ur before photos, (pear shape) my question is I dont wanna lose my butt. what calendar is better?
(im only want to lose like 5-7 pounds)
Hi, Kathe, I would suggest the classic schedule.-Bethany
