The Brazil Butt Lift doesn’t just give you a single workout program to follow. It personalizes a workout program just for you and your specific needs by providing you with a booty blueprint guide to follow, which in turn customizes a whole workout schedule for you.
Your Butt Shape…as Unique as Your Fingerprint?
Okay, your butt shape may not be as unique as your fingerprints, but it does fall into a certain category that the Brazil Butt Lift program works around. Let’s face it, not all booties are created equal, and that’s what the booty blueprint is for.
It’s a blueprint for identifying your body/booty shape, which then fits you into the correct Brazil Butt Lift workout plan that will work best for your butt’s shape. Every body is different, so this provides you with a workout plan that will work for your body type to give you the results YOU, not someone else, needs. It’s like having a personal trainer to whip your butt in shape…literally.
Of course with identifying your booty blueprint type, this means you must take an honest look at your rear in the mirror and match it to one of the following butt types: Too Big, Pear Shaped, Too Flat/Too Square, or Combination. I will explain in detail below each butt type. You can read about the schedules for each butt type here ( coming soon!)
Your Butt is Too Big
This means your butt is round and full and bulges out in all the wrong places. To be brief and blatant…your butt is too heavy. You may have a noticeable muffin top and will be able to pass the pencil test with flying colors – such as I did.
It also means you probably have some cellulite that you just can’t seem to get rid of, which requires some real cardio and sculpting to cut down on the fat and shape your booty nicely. A diet rich in whole foods and water consumption will also help rid of cellulite.

You are Pear Shaped
You have no problems in the curves department, at least below the waist. You’re curvy…in fact, disproportionately so around the hips in comparison to your bust. This means you have noticeably larger hips and stubborn saddlebags that you can’t get rid of. This basically describes me almost perfectly, although I still have a muffin top and bulges everywhere, so I’m going for the Classic plan.

Your Butt is Too Flat/Too Square
Sometimes problems in the rear area have nothing to do with being too big or too curvy. Sometimes, you need some curves and some shape. If you have a flatter butt and your shape is relatively straight from the waist through your thighs, then this is Too Flat/Too Square is your Booty Blueprint. It’s also the right option for those apple shaped women who hold more of their weight in their stomachs.
Brazil Butt Lift is great for adding some oomph to your backside – not only just to slim it down if you’re too big.

Your Butt is a Combination of Types
If your butt doesn’t neatly fit into one Booty Blueprint type, then you most likely have a Combination butt. This just means your butt doesn’t fit into any category, or your butt is a combination of different categories.
I’ll use myself as an example. I have a definite pear shape with my upper body being straight up and down and my lower body being way too curvy with way too much fat around my rear and thighs as you can see from my image to the right.

Brazil Butt Lift Workout Schedules
Once you have correctly identified your butt type, then you can move onto your Brazil Butt Lift workout schedule. In a nutshell, each workout plan offers you something different to help with your butt’s problem areas. Take a look at the Brazil Butt Lift Workout Calendar.
Hopefully I’m not commenting too late because I’d love your advice! :) I’m curvy and pear shaped but I’d like to stay that way and just tone everything/build muscle and lose a bit of weight overall. Would you recommend I go with the Lift and Shape plan? I just don’t necessarily want my butt to get much smaller, if that makes sense!
Hi Valery, Lift and shape does a little less cardio than other versions of the workout calendar, so yes I think that one would be a good one for to follow. Bethany
I also need help with finding the correct exercises.
The distance between my ribs and hips are VERY short, from the back my behind looks very square and from the side my behind is naturally pert (ish) and full/round with a tiny bit of sagging. I could obviously do with exercises that makes it more firm as well. My waist is 29 inches and my butt around the fullest area (looking from the side) is 38.5 inches. I am thinking that I may have high hips combined with a bit of fat, is it possible with a combination of cardio and certain exercises, do have a much less H shaped look from behind?
Thank you
Hi Mai, I would start off with the combination/classic schedule and see how you respond to that schedule.
Hi Bethany I have a strange problem. I used to have a nice butt & upper thighs but since I’ve list 80lbs it’s like everything disappeared? My husband’s not very happy & im more than a little bummed that I lost my shape which has never happen before. What BBL exercises should I concentrate on, is it really possible to regain a toned shapely behind & how long will it take to see results? I’m not one for lengthy processes. I get very frustrated when I don’t see results quickly. HELP ME PLEASE??????
Hi Leihoku, I would suggest you try the the lift and shape schedule. And, everyone is different when it comes to results. I think it might be more of a mental issue than physical, some people just don’t believe they are getting the physical changes when they really are. Plus the general health benefits of working out, don’t forget about thouse. Here is a link to another post that might help – https://thefitnessfocus.com/fitness-tips/how-long-do-i-have-to-work-out-to-see-results
And I really want to get into shape better starting with my butt. Not only because I want my boyfriend to compliment the way I look more but also so I can feel more confident myself because I’ve always been shy and I was scared that I’m not as pretty as other girls even if my boyfriend and family say I look pretty already
Hi. I’m using my phone to try to download the calendar since my computer is broke. But it won’t open when I try to click on it. Is there another website you have that I can view the calender?
Hi Jayla, If you search BBL calendar, you should find a a post with the workouts listed. Bethany
Hi, would I still have to do the combination routine if I feel that my butt looks like a bit apple, from the side I have a nice butt. When I turn around I have top very top butt nothing in the middle an a some butt at the bottom.
HI Brittney, I don’t think you could go wrong with combination schedule. Bethany
Hi I don’t know what kind of butt I got but I’m 5’8 and 185 I have a muffin top and my booty is flat at the top but as it goes down its fat what workout should I do because I want to drop inches off my waist and I don’t want to lose my butt just lift it
Hi Lakita, The combination schedule is always a good schedule to fall back on when you are unsure of which to follow.
Hi im a bit confused , because youre guide tells me that I should be doing the lift an tone but in the booklet I got from Brazilian buttlift it tells me I fall in the category of volumizing ? An I start monday I dont wanna start the wrong one?
Hi Cierra, I have the old guide, the program has been updated. I would follow the updated one. Bethany
My butt is definitely a pear with a LOT of cellulite on butt and thighs. I’ve lost all my muscle mass due to illness, but now I’m ready to start exercising. I’m thinking of doing the Classic schedule first for all over lifting and shaping and then doing the Slim & Shape to really target in on the pear shape situation. My goal is a nice firm, shaped booty that stands up tall! Would you agree with this idea? Or would you do Slim & Shape and then the Classic second?
I forgot to add that after I complete the Slim & Shape and Classic calendars I will then advance to the BBL Master Hybrid Calendar and then onto the Master Series Calendar.
Master series is a great way to maintain and it contains different exercises. Bethany
Hi Michelle, I do like the combo schedule more. But, if you wanted to take it a little lighter to begin, then the Slim & Shape schedule would be a better way to start. Bethany
Hello, I just got my BBL in the mail today. I am having trouble deciding what work out to use. I am a pear shape and my butt is big but not super big to wear its all over the place.I want to have a bigger butt and become even more curvier.I do want to flatten my tummy as i am making my butt bigger and firmer. Should i use the volumizer routine ?I basically want to slim my upper half while making my lower half bigger.I hope this makes sense.
Hi Alexis, I don’t think the schedule is going to make a huge difference, I would just get started with one and if you like it, stick with it, or change it up if you are unhappy with the results. Bethany
I just finished my first workout. Do you have any tips on how to make your muscle less sore? I heard a protein shakes helps. I am on my feet all day at work so sore legs will make it more difficult through out the day.And one more question, do these workouts help with slimming arms?or is it mainly a lower body thing?
Hi Alexis, An after workout protein shake made from 100% protein is a good option for helping muscle recovery. BBL has the sculpt workout that is a total body going workout that will hit your upper body. Bethany
Hey. I’ve started bbl and am scared that I may not be doing it right. I am a couch potato with no stamina and had to pause the bum bum workout 4 times just to catch my breath. Is that normal?
Yes! It is completely normal, I’m pretty sure I did the same when I first began. Bethany
If I’m planning on doing the the hybrid schedule of insanity and the butt lift, will it still work with my shape?
Hi Angie, It would work with any shape. Bethany
Because of visiting, I will be adding the piyo program to my workouts at some point! Thanks for telling me about the idea! I walk at Greenlake in Seattle, a park/beach which has gradually accomodated itself to myself or others wearing thongs and Brazilians. I have realized my butt tends to be flat and square and needs help, but we shall improve!
Hi David, You should also check the PiYo/BBL hybrid schedule at some point. It is located under the PiYo category, Bethany
Hi Bethany, I have a tiny, flat booty but right now I am out of shape and have cellulite and muffin top too. Ugh! What workout would be best?
I am 45 years old, 5’6″, 116 lbs, former ballet dancer who used to be fit but now am skinny-fat. Should I consider T25 or Piyo or another workout in combination too? I am ready to do what it takes to get my body back in awesome shape!
HI Julie, I also have a background in ballet. I would recommend either PiYo or BBL to start off with. You might be overthinking it bit, it’s best to just get started and learn what works best for you along the way. Bethany
Hey! my booty is a pear shape but definitely needs to be lifted as well. So I would say a combination of too big and a pear shape should I do the classic workout I am really confused?
Hi Kaspen, yes the classic bbl schedule would be of the most benefit to you. -Bethany
Oi Betania, nao sei qual treino fazer, gostaria de saber qual é o melhor treino para quem quer ganhar massa muscular?
Hi Marina, I suggest reading this post – https://thefitnessfocus.com/brazil-butt-lift/how-to-get-a-bigger-butt-with-bbl. -Bethany
Obrigada!
Tbm gostaria de saber, se posso fazer dois treinos juntos, o p90x com bbl, ir revezando, sera que tem algum problema?
Hi Marina, You could alternate them, but if i is your first time stick to one program to begin. -Bethany
I have a strange shaped bum, it’s almost like each cheek is split into 2 halves! It’s veryy frustrating and I don’t even know if it is fixable, I’ve never seen it before on anyone else. Which would be best for me?
Hi Krista, your bum is not strange shaped at all…it’s entirely normal! The great news is that BBL is designed to help with all types of butt types, including yours. It sounds like you need to really build up the muscle below your skin and get rid of any fat that’s there too. My suggestion – follow the Combination schedule. This will get rid of any fat and round out your bottom to give you that lifted, well-toned look you want. Just be sure to use the heaviest weights you can for all weightlifting moves and use ankle weights! I would suggest purchasing the kind that go up to five pounds on each leg, because as you continue to work out, you will get stronger and need the added resistance. The same holds true for the booty bands. If you’re beginning to feel like the one that comes with the program isn’t providing you with enough resistance, splurge and buy yourself a variety pack that go from light to heavy resistance. It is the use of resistance that will really round out your bottom and give you the butt you’ve always wanted. I hope this helps, but if you do have any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Hi I am a bit confused my bum is curvy and looks pear shaped from the back but from the side it is quite flat (thanks asian mum) lol do you think the combination workout would be good for me?
HI Jay, yes the combination workout sounds right! -Bethany
Hi, what routine should i follow after the 4 weeks schedule? should I start it over again for maintain?
Hi Alixbeth, you can start over to maintain or move onto another workout program. -Bethany
Hello. Can you recommend any protein shake because i am very confused about the brands out in the market.
Hi Kai, I recommend Shakeology as a meal replacement and Optimum Nutrition Whey protein for whey protein.
Hi there :) thankyou for all of your helpful info and perspectives! Very muchly appreciated. I hope you can help me with my BBL regime. I fit into the lift & shape workout, but i pass the pencil test as i am quite petite and all i want is to add some shape. How would i adjust the preassigned workout timetable to suit me? Perhaps focus on Bum Bum more than perhaps cardio axe, etc?
Hi Ash – honestly, the Lift & Shape program is made for women with a flatter shape who need less cardio and more shaping, so I would just stick with it as it is and see where it takes you. It’s made for those who already pass the pencil test. If by the end of month one you’re not happy enough with your results, then you can start eliminating some of the cardio workouts and upping the weightlifting ones like Sculpt, High & Tight, and Tummy Tuck. Just be sure to always use the heaviest weights possible – including ankle weights for High & Tight, because this is what will help shape out your booty. Good luck!
Thanks so much Bethany! I will give it a shot :D
