<p>You may recall that not too long ago I was <strong><a href="http://www.diaryofalatebloomer.com/2011/01/11/day-104-turbofire-fizzled-for-me/" target="_blank">in search of a new fitness program</a></strong> to shake things up.</p>

<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>

<p>It looks like I’ll accomplish this goal by shaking my booty for 30 days.  Or as Leandro calls it, my bum bum (pronounced "boom boom" in adorable Brazilian accent).</p>

<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>

<p>May I introduce to you <strong><a href="http://www.beachbody.com/product/fitness_programs/brazil_butt_lift.do?gclid=CJaGhpmH-qYCFQJvbAodJRd-Cg&amp;code=SEMB_GOOGLE_BBL&amp;extcmp=14655359983&amp;ef_id=u3NNUf@mAwAARhY:20110209024454:s" target="_blank">Brazil Butt Lift</a></strong> workout sensation and sculptor of supermodels bum bums, Leandro Carvalho.</p>

<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>

<p>Leandro assures us that we don’t need plastic surgery to shape your bum-bum to perfection.  All we need is a bit of sweat, a clean diet, 30 days, and Leandro reminding us to squeeze our bum bums in the comfort of our living rooms.</p>

<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>

<p>I first heard about this interestingly-titled workout through David aka Captain Adventure.  His friend who just so happens to be a real live “female in the fitness know” swears that this workout will shape your bum bum like nobody's business.</p>

<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>

<p>I heard her thoughts echoed throughout the Twitterverse, as well as<em> Glamour </em>magazine ("Leandro is the Butt Master!") and <em>Cosmo</em> ("He is the tush technician!")</p>

<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>

<p>Don’t worry.  I’m not going to blog about my bum-bum for the next 30+ days.  I will circle back with you upon completion of the program to report the outcome.  I anticipate bootilicious results.</p>

<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>

<p>In the meantime, The Bum Bum Jedi (my new nickname for Leandro), asked me to take a before photo. Rarely taking myself seriously, I chose to reenact one of my favorite bum bum shots of all time.</p>

<p>As if all of this talk of bum bums, a photo of mike reno’s bum bum in red leather, and my reenaction of Mike Reno’s bum bum isn’t cheesy enough, there’s MORE!</p>

<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>

<p>Once I heard the bum bum buzz, I couldn't get this song out of my head.  The same thing happened to Kim C. (my official bum bum photographer who you KNOW is a TRUE FRIEND for humoring me.)  As you listen, simply substitute bon bon with bum bum.  Later you'll be cursing me for reintroducing to a song that you thought you had forgotten forever.  Hey, it's catchy -- have fun with it!  heh heh heh</p>
