My goals this week were to cross train with the Brazil Butt Lift DVDs from Beach Body and to NOT eat peeps.
Peeps? Didn't eat a single one. It helps that they aren't on the store shelves anymore. I looked. Twice.
Butt Lift? I did the 35 minute Bum Bum (pronounced "boom boom") DVD yesterday. It's one of several DVD workouts that promised to reduce, shape and lift my pear-shaped butt.
OMG! It was like running uphill for 35 minutes straight! I can run 6 miles without stopping. (Yeah, 6 miles - do NOT laugh!) I can't do Bum Bum without stopping 4 or 5 times. Apart from the sweat dripping off my face and the inability to catch my breath, I didn't think my muscles would getting that much of a workout. You know - all aerobic, no strength training. I changed my mind when I got out of bed this morning. My butt hurt, my inner thighs hurt. The tri-angle of gluteal muscles that Leandro promises to work were feeling it. I was sore and it felt awesome!

I've never taken an ice bath before. I wonder if I can do an ice "sink" in the kitchen and just soak my butt...

You cracked me up, I do imagine you with your butt in the sink, legs all over the place! Ice cubes and butts don't do well together, though. Just saying...I've had a few chilly experiences lately!
i want to try this!!! :) interesting!! i need to work on my side stomach/back muscles.. i have back pudge that is not hot! lol
My friend at work swears by this Brazilian butt thing. She says she's going to loan me the tapes onces she memorizes the workouts; they sound hard to me!
If you soak your butt in the sink; I want pictures. LOL.
It sounds like a good hard workout. I have that pear shape too. I'll have to look for it. Just a glance at your progress looks amazing! I liked your idea of a sink ice butt bath too!
