Go to the Equinox Fitness Club in New York City’s Upper West Side, and the excitement is palpable. Brazilian samba rhythms fill the air as people get together to try out a class that’s been voted by Time Out New York as the #1 fitness class in the city The Brazilian Butt Lift class taught by Leandro Carvalho.
A Brazilian who performed professional ballet before coming to the States to dance and perform in New York musicals, Leandro Carvalho soon spread his expertise into the realm of physical fitness, having noticed that the men and women around him on the stage boasted some of the tightest, firmest booties in the world. Ballerinas, samba dancers, and the women who practice the Afro Brazilian fighting style of capoeira all sported the best buns—“not too bulky, just tight and perky,” as he told Cosmo in an interview.
With this in mind, and having earned every possible exercise instructor certificate out there, Leandro quickly began to gain a large following with his Brazilian themed classes that were designed to not only shred and tone but also give everybody a great time doing it. So whether he’s teaching the Brazilian Tummy Tuck or the Amazonian Rhythms class to the public in New York or celebrities in L.A. or Victoria Secret models in their own homes, Leandro emphasizes the same core moves that have made the Brazilian booty and beach body in general an international phenomenon.
What are these mysterious, powerful techniques? What are the secrets that has created a mass of dedicated followers that will attend Leandro’s classes anywhere, that has had him featured in magazines such as Cosmopolitan, Elle, New York Magazine, Glamour and become a regular on such TV shows as WB11’s morning fitness segment? They’re a booty shaking combination of ballet moves, capoeira techniques, and intense all round cardio. Starting off with classic plies and squats and then moving onto more advanced combinations incorporating power moves, plyometrics and dance styles, he aims to keep your heart rate elevated for fat burning and cardiovascular endurance. End the session with a freestyle Brazilian booty shake to break down the lactic acid, and you’re starting to get an idea of what’s involved!
Want an example? Try the Ballerina Booster: stand with your feet wider than shoulder width apart, toes pointed out to the sides. Tuck your tailbone under and squeeze your glutes. Let your arms hang in front of you, and then lower down into a ballet plie squat while simultaneously raising your arms to shoulder height. Sink as low as you can go, hold for a two second count, and then rise to the starting position. Simple? Do this ten times, and on the eleventh hold for twenty seconds. Guaranteed burn!
