Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.At the end of March, supermodel Gisele Bundchen caught the interest of just about everyone after looking ridiculously fit less than three months after giving birth. The credit was given to new fitness trend Brazilian Body Surf, a unique water workout.
Unfortunately the creator of the Brazilian Body Surf, Leandro Carvalho, holds classes only in New York City. However it may be the case, as with his renowned fitness routines the Brazilian Butt Lift and the Brazilian Tummy Tuck, that ‘how-to' videos and step-by-step programs will become available online.
To get supermodel-fit you may want to try adding water resistance activities to your weekly fitness schedule with these Brazilian routines:
Brazilian BUTT Lift described as working all angles of the "bum bum," here is a five-minute routine adapted from Carvalho's for Mind, Body + Spirit Fitness, a fitness and well-being site. The workout is simple with only five movements: plie, touchdowns, lunges and two kinds of squats: http://www.fitnessmagazine.com/videos/m/22142804/the-complete-routine.htm
Brazilian TUMMY Tuck also targets all the muscles of your abdominals in ten minutes. The workout includes belly rolls, tummy curls, cross crunches, tailbone lifts and inverted crunches. To view images and descriptions of each exercise go to: http://www.marieclaire.com/health-fitness/news/articles/flat-abs-fast
Carvalho also sells at-home fitness kits including Brazil Butt Deluxe Upgrade for $59.95-72 (€43.50 -53) from various online retailers; perhaps a great update to your fitness-craze DVD library, with the likes of Buns of Steel and Tae-Bo.
