From Adriana Lima, to Gisele Bündchen via Alessandra Ambrosio, the Brazilian tops are many to make us fantasize for their sensual curves and in particular their perfect buttocks.
Tired of the traditional squat to muscle her buttocks and curious to discover this new course of muscle building straight from the beaches of Copacabana, I went to a session of "Glutes Do Brazil" at the Usine Opera, a gym high range in chic and soothing. I enter the room with subdued light and the first notes of Latin music resound. It's gone for 30 minutes of lessons!
The course of the "Gluteus Do Brazil" course
I begin to perform simple leg movements aimed at working thighs and glutes, all with a fitness elastic around the ankles to increase tension and maximize muscle exercises. And it works, from the first minutes I feel my buttocks muscles and thighs heat. To me the buttocks of Adriana Lima!
At the rhythm of the Brazilian music and under the precious advice of our coach, we chained the exercises mixing bodybuilding and dance. We sway for twenty minutes before finishing the "Gluteus Do Brazil" on the ground with a series of gluteal exercises, elastic fitness around the knees.
Result? I come out of the course already a little achy despite stretching under the instructions of the coach before leaving the room. I feel that my muscles have worked and I am over-motivated to continue the exercises before the start of the summer. The "Gloves Do Brazil" course is tested and approved!

The privileged setting of the L'Usine gym
- The weak spots :
The room a little small to hold all the participants in the session.
- Some examples of exercises to remake at home:
Place an elastic band around your ankles, and raise the right leg to the side holding it for a few seconds, then perform the same movement with your right leg. Try to keep a dynamic pace without necessarily going too fast. The pressure exerted by the elastic during the movement will help you to work effectively the muscles of the thighs and glutes.
Other exercises to strengthen his buttocks without fitness elastic this time, the pelvis survey. Stand on your back and bend your legs apart at shoulder width. Then unroll your pelvis by lifting it up while contracting your glutes as on the video below.
