Brazil Butt Lift - End of Week 7

I decided to switch it up a bit.  I had Bum Bum/Tummy Tuck scheduled for today.  I did Bum Bum Rapido plus Abs Rapido and Secret Weapon (both for the first time) and ohmygoodness!  OW!  I had 2lb ankle weights on each leg for all three workouts. I used an 8lb weight for the Abs Rapido.  This had to be the longest 40 minutes of my life!  Totally love it!  Monday will begin Week 8 and I think I will begin including Leandro's Secret weapon on a regular basis for the this week and all of next month. 

Beginning in May, I am hoping to start a TurboFire/Brazil Butt Lift hybrid.  I've been searching online and I think I've found one.  I need to look at it a bit closer and I might tweak it a bit.  I'll definitely be kicking it up a notch for the hybrid.  I never used ankle or hand weights for Turbofire the first time I did it but I will this time.  I bought some 10lb ankle weights that are WAY TOO BIG for my skinny ankles so I need to return them and look for a pair better suited for my lady ankles.  ;)

Brazil Butt Lift - 30 day results

Stupid typo!  ;)

Wonky "Before" Angle - sorry!

After one month of BBL: 3lbs lost, 1 inch from waist, .5 inch from chest, .5 inch from my left thigh.  I started with the "Slim & Shape" 4 week plan for the Pear Shaped Booty.  I made the mistake of not pushing myself until the second week.  I used the yellow booty band and 1lb ankle weights on the High & Tight program and 3lb weights on the Sculpt program.  By the end of the fourth week, I was using 2lbs per leg on the Bum Bum workout and the Cardio Axe workout, 4lbs per leg on the High & Tight floor exercises, the red (advanced) booty band for the High & Tight standing and floor exercises and 5lb weights for the Sculpt video.

I am currently finishing up Month 2 Week 2 and I am following the Combination plan.  I would have thought I would have needed heavier weights by now but man are my muscles aching halfway through my workouts.  I think the combination plan is definitely more intense than the Slim & Shape (which was a LOT of Sculpting). 

I still cannot pass the Pencil Test though.  However, I have noticed that my jeans are feeling a lot looser in the hip/thigh area.  I am hoping to purchase some 8lb weights for the Sculpt video and a heavier ankle weights for High & Tight.
