Sim, prepara seu corpo para as exigências da vida real.
In most of Brazil the informal possessive is “seu”. Using “teu” can sound overly regional.
Sim, prepara teu corpo para as exigencias da vida real.
Don’t forget the accent on the “e” (exigências). Without it the word is misspelled.

Cultural Tip
In Portugal and some Brazilian regions, the informal possessive pronoun “teu” is used with friends or peers. In most of Brazil, speakers prefer “seu” in informal speech, so you might also hear “prepara seu corpo…”.
