Leandro Carvalho Workout Dvd Download

Leandro's proven TriAngle Training method works all three major muscles of the buttocks from multiple angles to reduce your hips and saddlebag area, slim your thighs, and lift your butt without bulking up your thighs. You can even customize the workout plan to turn your current shape into the one you've always wanted.
If you want to make it tougher, you can add in heavier resistance bands, 1lb ankle weights or even 5lb adjustable ankle weights. I personally have the 5lb ankle weights so I can adjust and grow with this program along with my other workouts I like at home.

Brazil Butt Lift is a 60-day program that offers a money-back guarantee. In fact, you get a lot more than your money back; you keep the 60-Day Supermodel Slim Down Plan, the strength band and the Bum Bum Rapido workout if you are not satisfied.
I finished my triple workout with Bum Bum and the lunges and plies really tested my legs. There was no equipment needed for any of my workouts today which made a change from the past few days of alternating upper and lower body weights. Now I could do with a nice cool shower and to collapse into bed to rest my muscles, what a beauty that trio was! My entire body is singing!
A double workout today and Bum Bum got my heart racing beautifully and my legs burning from the squats and lunges, with High & Tight finishing me off with the tension bands. Leg day is always a challenge but it leaves me walking around like Robocop after because I feel so strong, sturdy and well balanced. Hoorah for quads!
Part of the original Brazil Butt Lift series, this is a combination of standing work using a band, floor work with a band and floor work with ankle weights. It's a great complement to Bum Bum - do them back-to-back for a real leg burner - and a nice change of pace from traditional floorwork, which can be dry and boring and overly repetitious. I'd use this as an add-on after a leg-focused cardio session (ie treadmill or bike) or as a supplement to a squats-lunges-leg press heavy legs workout. Each section is chaptered and is about 10 minutes in length, so for a shorter workout you could focus on standing work only, or ankle-weights only.
My light-tension band included with the set broke after two weeks of use, so I use the intermediate-tension band and 1# ankle weights for this workout (I am a high-intermediate exerciser with low back problems, so have to be careful with weight selection on any floorwork).
The standing work is focused on outer thighs and hips. If you listen to Leandro's cues about keeping your hips squared, you really feel the burn in those areas.
The floorwork with band targets glutes and hips, with some obliques work in the lying-side exercises. I like doing this section with ankle weights instead of a band, except for the clamshell work, which really benefits from the band for that deep glute burn. The last exercise, where you roll over onto your hip and pulse one leg upwards toward the ceiling, feels very awkward to me. Leandro should have provided more form pointers about alignment for this exercise.
The floorwork with ankle weights has more familiar exercises (bent-leg and straight-leg extensions, crossovers, etc.) plus some good inner-thigh work at the end. I really like Leandro's cues on keeping properly squared and aligned, and extending the arm opposite the working leg and balancing on fingertips on that side really helps. Seeing that I have to go relatively light with the weights in this section, I focus on perfect form and contracting the working muscle group.
I really like this workout. Time flies and my legs feel energized and worked out at the end.
Instructor Comments:
Leandro is upbeat and makes sure you do equal reps on each side. Most of his cues are very clear. Sometimes his cadence is off, and he's never in sync with the music, but I'll forgive him that for this fun, effective leg workout.
High & Tight is part of the original Brazil Butt Lift set; it can be found on the same DVD as the Sculpt workout. This is a toning workout with three separate segments: Standing Work with Band, Floor Work with Band, and Floor Work with Ankle Weights. Leandro and his all-female crew use a flat, circular band that they place around their ankles and feet; I used and tube-style circle band around my ankles only, and for the floorwork, where the band is placed between the thighs, I used a flat band tied to an appropriate width.
The submenu for High & Tight lets you select each of the workout segments individually. There is also an option for normal/quieter music. I have listed each segment below along with approximate times as well as a brief overview of the exercises.
STANDING WORK WITH BAND, 10.5 minutes
The 4-minute warm-up includes steps side-to-side, increasing to a quick, dance-y tempo. There is also an "Accordion" move to work the abs, also with a side step. The first sequence involves touching the leg to the rear, eventually adding balance to this move. This is followed by squats with side leg lifts. The final standing move is what Leandro calls "1-2-3 Together": this is basically stepping out to the side, front, and then behind, again adding a bit of a dance feel to the exercise. That concludes the standing work.
FLOOR WORK WITH BAND, 11 minutes
For this segment, the exercisers are using the band on their thighs, just above their knees. Beginning in a side-lying position propped up on the elbow (Leandro calls this "At the Beach"), Leandro has the women raise both legs and do leg lifts from this position first with the top leg, then with the bottom. Next, he has the models lie flat on their sides and bend their knees for several clam shell variations (including traditional and feet raised). Leandro finishes with the Corkscrew, which involves turning one leg in so that the knee touches the ground and the heel faces up and doing lifts in the position. After repeating all of the exercises on the other side, Leandro concludes this segment with a brief (1.5 minute) stretch on the back that includes a lying twist.
FLOOR WORK WITH ANKLE WEIGHTS, 16.5 minutes
Most of this segment is performed in an all fours position on the elbows; again, Leandro completes all of the work on one side before moving on to the other; he also has the women rest briefly in child's pose in-between each move. The exercises include bent leg lifts, bent leg lifts with crossover, straight leg lifts, straight leg lifts with crossover, and rainbow (semi-circle leg lifts). Next comes some brief work for the inner thighs: in a side-lying position, you will perform leg lifts and leg circles. A 2-minute stretch on the back--including a nice figure 4 stretch--concludes this segment.
This is a great work; as promised, it definitely targets the butt from every angle! It is also nice how it is broken down into segments, as you could easily use 1-2 sections as add-ons (although the entire workout comes in at just under 38 minutes). This was tough, but it didn't leave me feeling as exhausted as Bum Bum, and I can see myself incorporating it more often.
Instructor Comments:
Unlike in Bum Bum and some of the other BBL DVDs, in this workout--especially the floor segments--Leandro mostly instructs rather than performs the workout himself. He is pretty goofy, and he makes a lot of comments about what a great butt you are going to have. (He also has several other signature phrases such as "niiiice!" and "you are doing so well!") However, because he mirror cues, counts reps evenly, and generally does a good job instructing, I don't mind his quirks. ;)
Instructor Comments:
I like Leandro but there are a few comments about "getting the butt that you want so much" things like that I could do without. Overall he gives good form pointers and put together an effective workout.
