Getting Fit for Brazil

Hello all!

I am going to Brazil in June and I am very excited! I want to look my best during my trip, especially since the majority of women in Brazil have gorgeous bodies!!

I am looking to sculpt my body, adding more definition. Currently, I stand at 5'3 and 109.8 lbs with a 25.5 inch waist. I have added pictures below.

I eat a vegan diet and have been doing zumba and insanity exercise videos.

Does anyone have any other exercise/diet suggestions?

    Seriously, you look awesome right now. But if you want to add more definition, you could start lifting some weights!

    You have a lovely foundation! Start intensive weight training, bump your protein up if you are eating at the lower end, take a high strength DHA/ EPA marine algae supplement if you don't already.

    As others have said you look great, but if you want to cut body fat and look great after, start weight lifting. And I mean HEAVY weight lifting. Also, make sure to continue eating at a calorie deficit. Those two things are a deadly combination.

    SQUAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




    and stuff

    * I would eat at maintenance since it looks like you are in low weight range for your height.

    Thank you all for the advice and comments! So, I will start weight lifting. What weight level should I start with- 15-20? 25-40? 45-60? 61 and greater?

    Look up either "New Rules of Lifting for Women" or stronglifts.com I know there are others but I don't know them, others will probably be able to help with that. Lift the heaviest you can and do the recommended amount of reps and sets.

    You have a good foundation for insanity. Its all you really need to tone yourself up. Follow the routines and follow the diet. You'll get amazing results.
