The Brazilians seem to do everything better when it comes to appearance.

It’s a country of beautiful, vibrant people who effortlessly soak up sun.

The secret to their toned bodies may lie in an unusual form of massage.

It’s called “Miracle Touch” and the list of claims are impressive:

Miracle Touch is supposed to reduce the circumference of your limbs, make your hips more defined, and help burn localized fat, all while relaxing and stretching your muscles.

According to one journalist who tried it:

some areas almost hurting as the masseuse kneaded into my muscles with full force (apparently it hurts more where you have more fat). She also massaged my stomach, which was uncomfortable. But even with the moments of awkwardness, I was relaxed and could feel my muscles getting harder as she worked.

Apparently, performed on a regular basis, “Miracle Touch” can tone just as much as workout.

So when you’re looking to get in shape this summer—massage may be the answer.
