Review: Brazil Butt Lift

Brazil Butt Lift explains it all in the title. This program literally lifts and tones your butt and your legs. There is some ab and weight training in it, but the whole time your working your butt without even knowing. BBL is only 30-60 days long and each workout is 10-50 minutes.

There are different kinds of programs you can do.

Classic- for people who are indecisive. This ones for you.

Slim and lift- for people who have a big flabby butt and bad muffin tops.

Lift and shape- for people who have a pear shaped butt and want more tone.

Volumizer- for people who have a too flat or square butt.

I did the slim and lift. My pencil test did not look pretty. I looked to see what program to do and did it. You can actually do 2 and create a 60 day program and get even more results. Mix and match or do the same one twice. That's what I did. Except i did it in 4 months because I had no idea what I was doing and that I didn't know they give you a schedule. I was new at beach body ok... hey I still got the results I wanted. 

Depending on your "pencil test" is what workout to do. 

The picture on your right is what the pencil test is and how to do it. I know its a little weird but once I finished this program I did the pencil test again and it was amazing. I noticed a huge difference.
I loved this program because it not only worked one muscle in your butt.... but all three. Gluteus maximus, minimus and medius. I worked muscles I didn't even know I had.

Lets talk about the workouts.

• Bum Bum- intense cardio with butt sculpting moves. 35 minutes.
• High and Tight- lift your butt with Leandros secret moves. 35 minutes.
• Sculpt- tighten and tone your entire body from head to toe. 50 minutes.
• Cardio Axe- fat burning, cardio, dance routine. 
• Tummy tuck- All about abs 20 minutes. 
• Bum bum rapido- a fast version of bum bum. For people who are in a hurry. 10 minutes.

Now there is a whole other program. Its called the deluxe program. This includes original bbl and the maximum results program, kinda like a hybrid. 

Here are the workouts to the maximum results. 

• Rio extreme- Intense cardio. 50 minutes.
• Abs rapido- fast ab workout. No crunches or push ups. 10 minutes. 
• Uppercuts- sculpting arms. 13 minutes.

I have done the maximum result ones too and I really enjoyed them. The one I most enjoyed was Rio extreme. 

As for my favorite workout... I choose all of them. Yes, they were all so enjoyable and fun I couldn't choose a favorite. Cardio axe by the time I'm finished I'm dripping in sweat. My whole body would hurt and it felt good. Bum bum has a lot of cardio in it, that one makes me sweat like crazy too. Tummy tuck is amazing... you feel the burn the whole time. Bum bum rapido wasn't that bad, you barley get a sweat on but you do work your muscles. I wasn't a huge fan of it because I felt like i didn't get enough from it. High and tight is painful for your butt and legs.  You do a couple moves over again but at different angles. Sculpt uses weights. You tone from head to toe and there's some cardio in it. Once your finished you can feel it. phew. 

This program is great for beginners who are just starting to workout. I did this program before I did P90X. After this I noticed a big difference in my butt, legs and even stomach. It helped get rid of my "baby pouch".

Here are my results:

I lost about 5 pounds and 3 pant size.

Buffalo chicken lettuce wraps

When I found this recipe and read it I was very skeptical of it.
I tried it and it was amazing and different. So many different tastes. Now you can make a sweet buffalo, non buffalo (spicy) or just buffalo.

What you'll need:

I do not take credit for this picture

• Butter lettuce- you can get this at Costco. It tastes better with this kind of lettuce, but you can you regular if you want. 
• Grape tomatoes- cute in half
• ranch
• 2 Tbl buffalo sauce- I like red hot
• 1 Tbl brown sugar- maybe more. 
• 2 tsp water- maybe more 
• Avocado

What to do:

Cook chicken add brown sugar, water and buffalo sauce. Or just add buffalo sauce or just brown sugar. 

Mix in well. Place on lettuce cup add ranch, tomato, and avocado for toppings. 

Now enjoy all these different flavors.

Benefits of Coconut Oil

I've been getting a lot of people ask me what are all the benefits of using coconut oil. I could never name them all so I decided to write a post and name all the benefits of coconut oil.
Make sure the oil is virgin coconut oil. If its cold pressed that's even better.
When consuming it will take a couple tries to get use to the texture, but the flavor tastes amazing.
Here we go...

• Face lotion; use a little bit and rub on face for maximum moisture and less oily skin. I put it on right before I get out of the shower.
• UTI/ kidney infections: helps prevent and cure.
• Anti-Viral: will help eliminate cold and flu symptoms.
• Rash: helps heal and sooth chicken pox, hand foot and mouth disease ( my son had this and it was horrible, thanks to coconut oil he got over it quick), and shingles. 
• Lip moisturizer; small pea size and rub on lips. 
• Nose bleeds: If your prone to nosebleeds coat the inside of your nose with coconut oil regularly. 
• Fungal/yeast: helps treat ringworm, athletes foot and other fungal or yeast infections.
• Oil pulling; to pull out toxins from the body and keep breath fresh. (See post oil pulling)
• Hair mask; it helps hair heal and helps it grow and gets rid of unwanted color. ( See post oil hair mask)
• Cellulite soother; rub on cellulite spots.
• Cuts and burns: rub small amount on wound and it'll help heal faster and sooth the burn.
• Stretch mark soother and prevention; it wont get rid of them it will smooth them out and make them less visible.
• Toothpaste; helps whiten teeth and freshens breath
  
• Healthy cooking; replace butter and oil with this for a healthy version of a recipe.
• Shaving cream; helps legs stay smooth.
• Makeup remover; put a small amount on a cotton ball and dab on eyes and skin to get rid of makeup
• Wrinkle reducer; massage on face before you go to sleep.
• Sunburn soother; Sooth bad sunburns naturally
• Butt cream for little ones; I use it on my sons diaper rash and it will be almost gone the next day. 
• Dandruff; helps get rid of dandruff when using as a mask for your hair
• Body odor; Help get rid of body odor anywhere. North and south of the border.... yes it really does help
• Breastfeeding; cure cracked, sore nipples with a dab of coconut oil. Also when consumed it will boost milk flow.
• Heart health: its great nutrition for the heart and keeps it healthy and happy.
• Weight loss; by consuming it, it helps you loose weight. I put a tablespoon of it in my tea everyday and drink about 2 cups of it. 
• Massage oil; so much better than lotion. Will not dry out or clump up.
• Dry skin/eczema; Rub on dry, cracked spots and with sooth the pain and help the skin heal. My husbands back would get so dry that it would hurt him. Ever since I started using coconut oil he has been sleeping a lot better with his back all moisturized. 
• Homemade items; use it to make homemade lip balm, soap bars, moisture wrap etc....
• Energy; when consumed it provides natural energy to get through the day.
• Chafe prevention; use about a tablespoon to reduce chafing.
• Insect repellent; mix with peppermint oil and spray as needed. 
• Cracked heels; use pea size and rub on heels to moisturize.
• Improves blood circulation; consume 2-3 tablespoons, helps relieve inflammation in the arteries. 
• Soothing baby bath; I bath my son in it all the time. Especially when his bum is really bad. 
• Cheekbone highlighter; give your cheeks an extra glow  by applying a small amount to cheekbones.
• Coffee creamer; add this instead of creamer. Much healthier than regular creamer. 
  
• Personal lubricant
• Acne fighter
• Helps sick pets; can be used to heal anything for your pet. From dry skin to soft coats.
• Reduces hunger; helps you eat less or to help you not over eat.
• Boosts brain function when eaten: helps improve memory and function.
