For us beauty is all about CONFIDENCE - when you feel good you look good.
What we have noticed as we trundle through our Mama Mio world is that every woman has a bit of their body that they would love to change. That bit that you think "if only my butt was better, I would feel good about myself". We call these Roadblocks and they are our personal bugbears; our little obsessions that stand in the way of feeling confident. The reality is it takes a lot less effort to actually make the change to your 'bad bit' than the effort spent beating yourself up over it.
We wanted to give you the tools to make that change. To take control and sort it out! Hence the Bootcamp Kits were born. When developing Bootcamp For Butts we wanted to create a kit which was the perfect product mix to help the tone, texture, smoothness and tightness of your skin. And because true beauty is not just skin deep, we have combined our high performance skincare with ass-kicking exercises, created by fitness guru Efua Baker. By improving the tone and texture of your skin and also strengthening, lifting, reshaping and toning the muscle structure that supports the skin, the results will be more dramatic.
Attention! (Cue Sergeant Major voice...) This bit is very important. We need you to commit to a 30 day programme to making a visible and lasting difference to your butt. And for those commitment-phobes amongst you, we know we had to make it really easy for you and take away all of your excuses.
1. It only takes three minutes a day. No matter how time starved, we can all find 3 minutes.
2. It is very easy to follow - increase exercise reps by one a day. Everyone can do one more, so it is not an impossible goal. The key is to do them right.
3. No equipment required and you can do it in a small space. Want to hide in your bathroom and do it? No problem; you can do it anywhere.
4. You will see results. Do not cheat and at the end of 30 days you will look better, feel better and feel more confident.
And if you can do that - what else can you do? Bring it on!
Your butt is supported by large muscle groups that need to be targeted carefully to make a visible and lasting difference. Our Bootcamp For Butts exercises are designed to get those underlying muscles working to lift your butt and reduce those unsightly saddlebags. Efua Baker is London's A-list trainer. You name the star she has kicked them into shape. An impressive example is she took Christian Bale from emaciated in The Machinist to Batman perfection. Efua has worked with us closely to create two no-nonsense, surefire butt-busting exercises. Her virtual brief was to take your butt, shrink it down, lift it off your thighs and tighten it up.
Muscles targeted are the Gluteals, (including Gluteus Maximus, Medius and Minimus) and the important Adductor and Abductor muscles. These 'Roman Soldier' muscles will leave your butts standing proud, defined and firm... but with plenty of feminine curvature left! The Abductor and Adductor muscles will tighten and tone the inner and outer thigh, smoothing your silhouette.
A key Bootcamp benefit of all our skincare in this kit is improving micro-circulation, which is the number one cause of cellulite. It will also help to tighten and tone your skin; taking your butt from too low to J-Lo. No point having great muscle shape underneath without the fittest, most touchable, smoothest possible skin on the surface – let’s face it, that is what people see and that is what people touch.
Omega Body Buff Exfoliator will prep and soften your skin gently but firmly, removing superficial dead skin cells to maximise Tummy Toner skin tightener and Shrink To Fit effectiveness.
Tummy Toner Skin Tightener is our infamous retexturiser serum, ensuing that your skin renewal is at peak levels, massively moisturising, with instant lifting and tightening results.
Shrink To Fit Cellulite Cream is all about increasing micro circulation to help break down any fat clumps that make your skin look lumpy, bumpy and generally orange-peely.
We are extremely proud of these three products so do please check out the invididual product pages to read some of the amazing customer testimonials and read in detail exactly why they work so well.
We know that time is short, so follow these super-easy steps to be on your way to lifting your butt in 30 days. We recommend that you do the exercises first, but if you want to shower first then that's perfectly ok. What really matters is that you need to be warm when you apply the skincare (so apply immediately after exercising/showering) and do follow the skincare applications in the order below.
Step 1 (once a day) Your 3 minute exercise programme. Follow the instructions card for two no-nonsense exercises: The Butt Raise & The Doggy.
Step 2 (three times a week) OMega Body Buff - Buff all over or just focus on your rear trouble spots. Apply on dry skin, massage in vigorously and then shower off; a teaspoon size dollop per leg and half this for arms.
Step 3 (once a day) Tummy Toner skin tightener - Apply to backs of thighs and bottom; two pumps will be enough.
Step 4 (once a day) Shrink To Fit hip & thigh cellulite cream - Massage into thighs and bottoms for at least 20 seconds each side. This product is thick so you really need to massage it in vigorously. That effort is essential and helps break down the clumps even quicker. You need two pumps for each leg and butt cheek; four pumps in total. If you stick with this dosage you will have ample for the 30 days.
FAQs
OK, so I have completed my 30 day Bootcamp – what next? If you have really committed and done your exercises/skincare regime every day without fail, I can guarantee your butt feels and looks better. Well done!
Now why on earth would you leave it there? What else can you tackle? You are in control now. You have made a difference to your body that makes you feel better and more confident. That was our goal. Of course we would recommend that you continue with the skincare and exercise principles as part of your daily routine now.
It is a funny thing with women and cellulite creams – we always think – ‘Yikes! Bikini beach moment coming up. Better tackle that orange peel for the fortnight leading up to my holiday.’ And then we relax back into apathy for the rest of the year. And yet we would never think that way about eyecream or highlights. No way, man. Women are used to thinking about ‘maintenance’ rather than repair and this is how we would love you to approach your bodycare regime from now on. Don’t let that butt slide back down your legs. Keep it firm, upstanding and proud to be yours.
You can buy the Mama Mio high performance skincare as singles anytime you like. And now you know the exercises off by heart, the only discipline is to make sure you do not take shortcuts.
