Alright, so I’m sitting here on my worn-out couch (yes, the one with the suspicious stain), and I just tried this glute workout thing called ‘Treino completo para levantar bumbum – Glúteos em casa – Carol Borba.’ First off, let’s talk about how the idea of lifting one’s bum while surrounded by yesterday’s laundry and a stack of unread magazines feels. It’s like trying to zen out in a hurricane.

Now, I’m no fitness expert, but who are we kidding with these home workout routines? Squats, lunges, the whole ridiculous ordeal that leaves you more confused than convinced. I mean, sure, there’s that brief moment where you think, ‘This is it. I’m going to have a bum rivaling those late-night infomercial results.’ But seriously, the reality is my cat is judging me (and I’m in competition with a cat now).
So, about the exercises. You start with squats. Everyone acts like squats are this miracle move when, in reality, they’re just crafty ways to make you look like a squatting caveman. And the lunges – oh, the lunges. It’s like a three-step dance where step three is admitting you twisted your ankle on the rug.

And don’t even get me started on trying to follow along with those peppy instructors. With their motivational ‘You can do it!’ chant as if I’m in some weird aerobics cult. But hey, if that’s what it takes to end up with a perkier behind, then maybe I should drink the Kool-Aid and hope for the best. Until then, I’m resorting to chilling and munching on some interesting healthy snacks, probably watching some other outlandish workout idea on repeat.
My legs are sore, my eyes are strained from rolling at myself, and my cat (still) thinks it’s better than me. Yeah, I need coffee. Ugh.
