Last night the Rio Olympics ended—and after weeks of training our eyes on the powerful sculpted forms of the country’s best athletes, not to mention its roster of supermodel ambassadors, we suddenly find ourselves meditating on a different kind of national asset: the cult of the Brazilian butt.
It started with Adriana Lima managing to look sexy in wind shorts as she carried the torch at the opening ceremony, then followed with the entire Brazilian women’s soccer team making the same notoriously unforgiving garments look shockingly flattering. Widely acknowledged as the land of teeny bikinis—not to mention the world’s most notorious wax—there’s something in the water (or the DNA) that sets the country’s gravity-defying bundas apart.
Of course, more than pure genes, the country’s sun-and-sport culture, with its emphasis on a good workout, may go a long way in explaining the supernatural phenomenon. Determined to get to the bottom of it, we turned to a few of our favorite Brazilian bombshells for an answer. Whether it’s Lais Ribeiro’s easy, city-friendly tip (hint: all it takes is moving your feet toward a final destination) or Izabel Goulart’s foolproof resistance training bands, four supermodels (and national treasures) share their best butt-sculpting workout tips.
