This is the first video of Cassey's that made me realize how INSANE SHE IS!! She did all these moves flawlessly with a smile on her face and talking the whole way. What a queen!
Yes this is my fifth day too but I couldn't do most of it. I don't know she makes them easier for beginner because I might hurt my neck tryna do these. I cannot even get up and stand tall especially in the fifth move. I hope you haven an advice
I tend to be a bit harsh on myself, so here I go... Time to appreciate myself a bit! - I am an anorexia survivor, that takes strengh. I am mentally strong
I almost never comment, but you sound like an amazing person and someone I would love to know in real life. Keep loving yourself and I truly hope you have the happiest life anyone could have.
2 months ago, I had to take 8 breaks to go trough this, but now? I only took 1 break for the entire thing! It feels so good to have acomplished this, I absolutly love our queen Cassy, she's so cool!
Nice! Great job! You’re working hard and your strength is improving. I haven’t ever done this video. I stopped 5 times, finding my balance at times was hard. I’m getting better
I could barely do half of these moves and just cannot keep my legs straight because I'm stiff as a rake, but damn, I was proud when I managed to do one single leg sit up on each side. I think I'm gonna do this video again at the end of the beginners' calendar to see how far I've come. I don't expect to be able to do the whole thing, but seeing progress will be nice.
I am forever grateful for Cassey and this channel. I've been following this channel for around three years now and throughout those three years I have had many confidence knocks but somehow Cassey always encourages me to work harder and to shape myself into the person I want to be. I may not be there yet but I am so much more confident in myself. Throughout my life I have never been able to say anything positive about my body but now I can say that I am starting to really like my body and really like the person I am. So thank you, thank you for your workouts, your tips, your personality and just for being the most motivating and encouraging person I have ever crossed on UA-cam ❤️
3 years here too! It's the healthiest way I've ever included exercise into my life, and I can't imagine the binge/purge/restrict style of fitness ever happening again.
I agree with you. Cassey always have this positive vibe with her and it motivates me and others to be positive. Casey is amazing and I look up to her like an older sister.
Sera Emily I couldn't agree more I have been doing the training calender since january and I can feel a BIG different😄 so keep going you are gonna make it to the top👍😉
Same here lol. My lower body is heavy for a starters so I'm taking my time till I can do this w/o breaks anymore. I honestly amaze tgat my young self can do this 4yrs ago 😂😂
Moves 2,3 and 5 are pretty challenging if you're just starting out and working to build that core strength. It would be good to have a suggested modification for those so you do the exercise properly. But I love your energy and enthusiam! And having the count down timer and something else to focus on like your super tips is great! Really helps you get through the exercises and stay motivated
Cassey, you may never see this, but I want to thank you. I have been having anxiety over my mental and physical appearance. Videos like this one and many others on your channel have really helped me build confidence and a healthier lifestyle. So, thank you. ❤️
Cassey, I do not know what happened with you but you are SHINING!!!! I am not telling this only because of the compliment part, but because you seem (and I believe you are) HAPPY and BALANCED😊
I agree! You looked a lot different than past work out videos. I can't tell if it was the curls or the fact you were beaming by sharing all these tips with us! it really helped me stick with each move
CASSEY! Can you do basic core/ab work out for those who have ZERO strength in their abs? I can do the number 1 and 5 but I'm not able to do the number 3 and 5... I can't reach up even though I'm trying to! Like my comment if you guys want this too!
So true i struggeled so much with number 3 and 5 🙁 it frustrates me alot when im given my best going beast mode and all that but still cant do the exercise correctly 😕
@@SoniaRobinson I felt the same when I started a month ago but perseverance will help. it may take you weeks or months. I just keep going if though maybe sometimes I can't straighten my leg completely or get up as quick and straight as Cassey in some of the moves in this video but you've got this. stay motivated even if you cannot do some of the exercises the main thing your body is moving so eventually you will be able to do it. sorry I think I waffled a bit too much
Try the playlist pop pilates for beginners first She has done the Basic there I am attaching the link for you here ua-cam.com/play/PLSCcAGyv98ieqMkQH_q5T_gazNVxEcZew.html
I could only do like 20% of this workout a month ago - but after 28 days of her pop pilates for beginners calendar, I visited this video again and I'm proud to say I can now do 80%! Don't give up people!! Remind yourself we're all strengthening our abs and by the time I revisit this again in one month's time I hope I can do 100% !
Day 5 completed... I'm DYING, I also needed to modify some moves, because I couldn't get up... Not at all... But proud of myself to have done it, even with the breaks in between.
Omg that room is so light and it gives feelings like a fresh start also I was going to start working out so now I know what to do and this video will help me so much thank you Cassey 😊😙
Awww, Casey! I have been watching your videos since 2012/2013 and you never fail to be so amazing/positive/genuine/uplifting! Its so transparent how much you care about your popsters and its clear you care about us beyond just our physical fitness, but our mental health and quality of life. Thank you for being who you are!
Why are you so amazing❤? I really loved how your confidence tips distracted us from the workout so we cannot feel the intense and it's a real time pass!
Umm so why would you just keep your thoughts to yourslef because no one has actually wanted to know them :). But you know what, I find her voice so appealing so yeah😉
That is very rude this great woman came up with all of this and if you don't like go find the door because we don't need negative people (and her sweet voice is the one thing that keeps me going during these workouts thank you very much )
honestly i dont really get anything from this workout past the first move because I'm not strong enough to do sit-ups and this is practically just different forms of sit ups. i feel sad cause i feel like this would be a really good workout if i was strong enough to do it.
Same T___T But aaahh hopefully if we keep on pushing through the other forms of core-strengthening routines we'd be strong enough to do this workout soon!
Same, but I simplified it to not be boat crunches but simple crunches, that way I could kind of do it. I also have a hard time straightening my legs up, but I reckon is better to try, thinking some day i will be able to achieve it, than just leaving it out all together, I have confidence the day will come if I stick with it, you should too, we are all suffering this together, cheer up, you can do it one baby step at a time like me.
I love the light that you bring to the thousands of people who watch your videos and make the commitment to their mental and physical health. Go all of you! xx
I've been working out continuously for two weeks. I started beginners calendar and I already noticed some changes in me, emotionally and physically. Thank you so much for motivating me. I love you so much. Stay happy 😘😘❤❤
You're genuine kindness, effort, care and everything positive is so contagious! Thank you for a workout that not only makes me feel physically strong, but emotionally lifted!
Thank you sooooooooo much cassey for talking to us like a friend, that's what drew me to your channel. I felt I had a friend beside me working out and eating healthy with. Thanks for going back to those days.
Your outfit is absolutely gorgeous! I know you told us to give you a compliment, but I was going to say this anyway! Thank you for being so generous by giving people on the internet free workout and stretching videos. You're taking care of our bodies and minds and promoting a healthy lifestyle. You are one in a million, Cassey, thank you!
I don't know how you do it, but, the fact that you are able to talk and exercise all without losing your breath is completely amazing. I do like the physical and mental training together.
I LOVED the old-school blogilates vibe of this video, it's so nice working out with an inspirational message and it really helps me feel motivated and energised- please keep them comming!!!
I think we can all appreciate Cassey for making these videos for us. And for talking the entire time during this one to distract us from the pain. Thanks girl love you!
I have to modify this video a lot, but I won't give up! I used to put myself down for doing the modified positions, but I just have to remind myself that I am still strengthening my abs. We can do it!
i thought you were just a very good teacher, funny and beautiful. I'm leary to trust people with their intentions, but this sealed my thoughts. You are a very kind, good person! Thank you for all ur help!
I've been dealing with a lot lately, so many things happening and honestly every time after I am done with a video I feel better than before. My mood is completely flipped a 180 and it's very helpful for when I feel like things are falling apart.
Cassey, you are always beautiful, but today you looked absolutely RADIANT! Thanks for making such amazing videos and being a positive influence in our lives
Made it to day 5 of the beginners calendar which is more work than I had ever done for my body. I did the other video listed for today but by this one I was pooped. I’m still really proud of myself for coming this far. Thank you for putting this out for free and for being so kind to all your viewers and giving me the motivation I need to keep going
Following the beginners workout calendar now that we're under quarantine and wow! This was the hardest day so far. I could barely do the moves and had to take a lot of breaks but I'm proud of myself for not just quitting halfway through the videos. Day 5 and going strong!
I'm embarrassed to say this but I was seriously considering skipping my workout today but then I saw this on my subscriptions box. Now I'm in my active wear ready to kill this 💪 might even throw in some dance practice afterwards 😏 seriously seeing Cassey being so happy because of pilates motivates me to exercise. I want to be healthy and happy like her too!!
i love how you have a lesson/something to teach in verbal with every move. it really helps the learning while exercising at the same time. it really helps, and i think you're such an inspiration. thank you so much
I'm 12 years old and I love your core and ab workout videos because it really challenges me to push myself out of my comfort zone a bit more. You're my inspiration ❤️
I love this series! Sometimes if the move is hard it's easier when I'm listening to you talk :) also I think you're very knowledgeable so I love to hear what you have to say!
Thank you Cassey! You are such an adorable, fun, inspirational fitness instructor who always keeps it real! Honestly! My 10 year old daughter likes to do workouts with me and we always choose to do yours together. I feel like you are always building us up, teaching us to love ourselves no matter what, and working out to be healthy and the best us we can be. NEVER focusing on how you look or what others think of our bodies. These are the fundamentals I want my daughter to understand. So thank you, thank you, thank you!!! ❤️
This is the greatest way to do this. I'm terrible at committing to a work out if I'm focusing on the movements or the workout. The narration during it, takes the focus off of the move and, for me, means it's a lot easier to get through the whole workout. If there's something else that has my attention, I stop focusing on the burning and the pain of doing these moves (because definitely not as fit as Cassey!) and just do them!
Thank you so much! I haven't been working out lately and have noticed that I've been getting stressed and uncertain about certain decisions I need to make. This really helped me get back on track and I feel motivated to do what I'm good at and to keep learning.
You are a legend ! Thank you so much for all that you do! You helped me to become the person I wanted to be. Thanks for helping me get fit ! Love you Cassy !
Cassey, you are just awesome!! Thank you for being a positive influence!! I’m 37 and you are an idol to me! I look forward to every workout.. even though I know I will be hurting so bad after.. it’s definitely worth it!!!
Cassey my girl, I haven't worked out in a long time due to a very traumatic death in my family. Your workout had me shivering and shaking but I'm so glad I did it.
Cassey, this video gave me the energy to continue the other workouts for the day. Although the second move was kind of hard for me, but it was good and I enjoyed it. Cassey can you please do more of these videos. Thanks By the way cassey you looked gorgeous.
I love the positivity and the work out, I would love to see the positives on a write-up that can be shared without the work out for those who might have issues with over exercise or something of that nature.
What if we can't get rid of the negative people. Like, for example my hobby is swimming and I love swimming but there is a negative girl in swimming training who keeps on trying to bring me down. What should I do?
I suggest reading or listening to the subtle art of not giving a fxxk by Mark Manson. While I LOVE Cassey and her positivity, Mark gives a very different perspective on how we react to the world's negativity. He addresses something like this in one of the chapters. There are a lot of factors in the world we can't control, but don't feel like a victim. We, ourselves, are responsible for our own feelings and how we react to the world. Take control and simply don't give a fxxk about the negativity. That is not an easy thing to do but that is just a part of life. It isn't supposed to be easy. Anyway, highly recommend reading the book. Also... I'm going to assume you are in high school? Correct me if I'm wrong. Coming from someone who just graduated from college... Man! I can't believe I even gave a fxxk about any of the stuff I was worried about in HS.
Ask her to stop being so negative out loud because it just brings other people down? She can't fix herself if no one tells her it's a bad habit. But that might just be me preferring honesty rather than seemingly sparing someone's feelings. Try, "You keep being so negative and I think it's holding you back. It's definitely not good for the people around you." ??
I had a girl like that on my high school swim team. She would nitpick the little things I did and always tell me that I was doing something wrong. The best thing to do is to not let that girl's words get to you and focus on doing what you love. I have to say one of the major things I miss about being on the swim team wasn't the people but the sport itself. I didn't have many friends on my team and none of my family members came to watch my relays because they worked, so I stopped putting my heart into it and only focused on when it would be over even though swimming is something I have always been passionate about. Now it's hard for me to find time to go to the pool and I really regret not taking advantage of the program and getting to swim when I had the chance. To sum it up just focus on doing what you love(which is swimming) and be nice to that girl. Let her be a jerk because everyone else will see it and it will only make her look worse.
Shes only picking at you because she's intimidated by you she probably wants to be the best swimmer but she has some "compettion" (and it's you by the way)
Can I just say I’m still doing these videos and LOVING IT - something about your positivity whilst doing Pilates always keeps me going Cassey!! Forever grateful 🫶🏽✨
Day 5, Part 2 done! Today's been tough as the situation in Spain is getting worse, plus it's almost the weekend and I think being inside will be more difficult psychologically. Regardless, I got through the routine and will be back tomorrow for Day 6 :)
I don't know where I would be without you, Cassey! You are so inspiring. I learned so much from you. Thanks to you I know that I have to work on me every day to be a better and stronger person and I should never stop. I lost about 30 pounds in 3 years. I am so much stronger now. I learned that no body is perfect (what is even perfect? how do you define perfect?) and that every body is different. You give such good advice and I don't mean only the fitness tips. I love your positivity and honesty. Thank you for motivating me every day! Have a nice day! Love you 💞
Wow! Wow! WOW! thank you for this!! This video is fantastic and appreciate this workout and your radiant energy, I truly enjoy when you talk to us. You say you're no good at public speaking but we POPsters see you practicing and pushing yourself! Thank you from my heart xoxoxo
I remember I started watching you in 2012-2015 when I was in high school and years later coming back to you to motivate myself to get back into this journey
I just started high school a week ago and I'm currently in the process of losing weight and I was so shy and insecure the first week worrying about what others thought of me.😔 I couldn't even raise my hand to answer questions. This honestly helped me so much Cassey thank you so much😘
January 2018 calender anyone? :) btw. this was so hard for me.. my neck don´t usually hurt during doing abs, but twisted crunch, boat crunch and single leg situp were killers... do you have some tips? i was focusing on my back (to dont lift them up ) and ofcourse dont lift myself by neck but by my abs ..but it still hurt af :/
(Lenka Stieglerová) Relax your neck. Don't focus on it so much, just let it do what it's doing. Let it rest on your shoulders, and let it free. Just do the workout without focusing on the neck.
I'm usually not too good at complimenting myself - I'm sure many girls aren't - but today I'm proud of myself because I did this workout and I feel stronger now! Thanks Cassey for making those videos and reminding us that confidence comes from within.
Cassie I wanna thank you, for all this amazing videos for begginers , I use to think that I’m a pro at Pilates but know that I have found you made me realize that Pilates is more about movement , is connection with your body and mind. .
I really love having this kinda old Cassey back, advicing us about life in general. I felt the entire workout, and I leave the video with a terrific feeling of satisfaction and happiness. Thank you so much Cassey, you've taught me so many things, I'm super proud of you. :)
When I homeschooled my children we belonged to a speech and debate group. One of the events was impromptu speaking. The kids are given a topic and have 5 minutes to prepare a 10 minute speech. You would've rocked it! And yes, you talking through the exercises really does help!
I can't even sit in that position where my knees are bent and back is up! Do you have any exercises for abs where you stand up? And yes, there is a huge difference from being confident and cocky!
I love that you blog about life during these. I work so much I hardly have time to listen to motivational talks. It's great to get two in one. Besides that, I would love to talk easily like you as I workout. That's one goal these year for me as a public speaker and performer. Thanks for the advice and good workout Casey!
Cassie this video is exactly what I needed right now. I love that you equally value physical and mental well being. You are truly an inspiration and thanks to you I am always motivated to keep improving myself through wellness and self care.
Dear Cassy, Hey! I'm a fellow popster and I just wanted to thank you. You have been such a motivation to me, I can't explain how much that means! You're such a beautiful, positive, kind, and lovable person, I don't even know how people can hate on a person like that. I used to be very unhealthy, skinny, and very unhappy. Your workouts made me much more than skin and bones, they made me who I am. You have such good advice, and I love how you talk through each of your videos. (If you hadn't I probably would've passed out by now) You are one of my greatest role models. Ily so much, never change! 😘
Hi guys!! I am doing the August calendar. This is my first time following her calendar, and I am curious if there is any results with this?? I use to workout to just random videos, mostly strength with weights. I was getting really bored with working out and I wanted to try something new. I am eating healthier along with working out strictly to her calendar. Please, let me know if you have seen results with this!! If you would like, I can update you on how things go for me.
1 full week update: I was sore everyday the first week. I am definitely feeling like I am getting stronger, I see definition/more toning in my arms and legs - I believe. The abdomen and hips are a tricky spot for me; therefore, no visible changes yet.
Week 2: Feeling a lot stronger and able to do the moves better and for longer; however, some are still out of my reach, strength, and flexibility. I see definition in my legs - they're toning out with more muscle - haven't slimed down much if any. Arm looks toned, but stomach still has no abs. Stomach is feeling a lot flatter. My scale says I weigh a pound more than last week.
Week 3: I know I'm a tad early; however, I am too excited not to share!! I am seeing definition in my quads and I love it! Arms are toned and stomach is slimmer. I feel like I have lost a little fat around my waist when trying my usual shorts on. I measured my thighs AAAANNNDDD I LOST A HALF AN INCH!!!! My one shorts that were previously snug fit again!!! Have yet to weigh myself but will tell you if I lost or gained pounds since last week!
Week 3 - continued: hey guys! So, to inform you guys, I did not weigh myself at the beginning of this journey; therefore, I don't know exactly how much I lost/gained. I weighed 121 last week, and today I weigh 120 - so a pound down!! Now, keep in mind, I do make sure I burn more calories than I consume; however, I still eat things I enjoy! I don't want to deprive myself because food does make me happy. Last night I went to Red Robin and earlier this week I had pizza with the family for a solar eclipse watching party. I would most likely see more results if I ate a strict healthy diet. However, I feel great and strong. I feel more confident in my clothes and I'm happy - what more can I ask for.
This is the first video where I actually cried. I'm on the Beginner's Calendar and I was getting frustrated that I couldn't sit up all the way for some of these moves and I had to modify them for myself. But the one nice thing I will say to myself is that I tried and gave it my all and didn't quit. That's how I will get stronger. 💪
Hey Cassey, I just wanna say thank you for this video. Sure it was 5 years ago but it really helps me. Even though I already know all these things, sometimes I need to hear it from someone else other than myself for it to solidify within me. It's hard struggling with imposter syndrome and chasing after what I want. There's a lot of unlearning and untangling I have to do. The funny thing is that it's so easy for me to give compliments to people but hard to do that for myself. But that's my own journey to self-love. Thanks again for the video!
As someone who usually HATES ab workouts, I really enjoyed this one! The moves weren't complicated, I knew how long I was going to be doing them, AND I learned some helpful confidence tips along the way. Great tips and great video! Thanks, Cassey!
Hi Cassey!!! I just want to say thank you so much for each and every one of your videos!! They motivate and inspire me so much! I love how positive you are and it always brightens my day whenever I excercise with you. Granted, the excercise isn't the easiest thing but I end up feeling so proud in the end! You have no idea how much you've done for me and countless others. We love you so much and thank you for everything!!!
nothing to be proud of when it causes back pain. pectoral workouts may help? I am working on the same, also looking into workout and daily bras with better support.
Yes, you can control your breast size if your breasts are the result of weight gain. You would have to lose fat and you can't really target fat loss in certain areas. Breasts are VERY fatty, so you would need to exercise (cardio, pilates, strength training) AND a healthy diet to maintain or gradually reduce your caloric intake.
Cassey! I hope you have a wonderful Friday because you helped me start my Friday wonderfully. Thanks for your beautiful smile, positive messages, and motivating workouts. Sam is a lucky man to have a ray of sunshine as his girl!
This is the first video of Cassey's that made me realize how INSANE SHE IS!! She did all these moves flawlessly with a smile on her face and talking the whole way. What a queen!
Agreed 😂💪🏾
I'm doing the beginner calendar and I couldn't do all the moves, had to modify some but I"m happy I finished😭 Day 5 done😭
yes girl! I'm going through that now
Yepp I modified it too. They were so hard?
Yes this is my fifth day too but I couldn't do most of it. I don't know she makes them easier for beginner because I might hurt my neck tryna do these. I cannot even get up and stand tall especially in the fifth move. I hope you haven an advice
same! Its my 5 day too
Mee to in 5 the day
Do you guys like the moves and tips combo? Should I keep doing that?
Always love/hate all the moves - and doing little pulses - and then holding for 5 - 4 -3 -2 - ahhh I'm dying - 1
blogilates I'm loving it! Makes time just flyyyy by and it's super duper inspiring and motivating! I vote for a whole series of tips and moves
blogilates Yesssss :3 It was super fun and motivating Love it :))
blogilates yes please! It distracts me from the actual burn! & next thing I know it I'm done:)
blogilates yes definitely!
I tend to be a bit harsh on myself, so here I go... Time to appreciate myself a bit!
- I am an anorexia survivor, that takes strengh. I am mentally strong
:')
I almost never comment, but you sound like an amazing person and someone I would love to know in real life. Keep loving yourself and I truly hope you have the happiest life anyone could have.

Awww, Casey! I have been watching your videos since 2012/2013 and you never fail to be so amazing/positive/genuine/uplifting! Its so transparent how much you care about your popsters and its clear you care about us beyond just our physical fitness, but our mental health and quality of life. Thank you for being who you are!
Why are you so amazing❤? I really loved how your confidence tips distracted us from the workout so we cannot feel the intense and it's a real time pass!
Mirette George yeah it made time pass for me too!
Umm so why would you just keep your thoughts to yourslef because no one has actually wanted to know them :). But you know what, I find her voice so appealing so yeah😉
That is very rude this great woman came up with all of this and if you don't like go find the door because we don't need negative people (and her sweet voice is the one thing that keeps me going during these workouts thank you very much )
Zlipster Royals you could just mute it as you work out
honestly i dont really get anything from this workout past the first move because I'm not strong enough to do sit-ups and this is practically just different forms of sit ups. i feel sad cause i feel like this would be a really good workout if i was strong enough to do it.
Same T___T But aaahh hopefully if we keep on pushing through the other forms of core-strengthening routines we'd be strong enough to do this workout soon!
Me too I’m shaking without any effort
Same, but I simplified it to not be boat crunches but simple crunches, that way I could kind of do it. I also have a hard time straightening my legs up, but I reckon is better to try, thinking some day i will be able to achieve it, than just leaving it out all together, I have confidence the day will come if I stick with it, you should too, we are all suffering this together, cheer up, you can do it one baby step at a time like me.
I did a one month plank challenge to help strengthen my core and now I can do them
So much easier when you're talking to us! Love it and you!!
I love the light that you bring to the thousands of people who watch your videos and make the commitment to their mental and physical health. Go all of you! xx
I've been working out continuously for two weeks. I started beginners calendar and I already noticed some changes in me, emotionally and physically. Thank you so much for motivating me. I love you so much. Stay happy 😘😘❤❤
I really love when she shows the moves we're going to do at the beginning. Helps me mentally prepare :D
You're genuine kindness, effort, care and everything positive is so contagious! Thank you for a workout that not only makes me feel physically strong, but emotionally lifted!
Thank you sooooooooo much cassey for talking to us like a friend, that's what drew me to your channel. I felt I had a friend beside me working out and eating healthy with. Thanks for going back to those days.
Your outfit is absolutely gorgeous! I know you told us to give you a compliment, but I was going to say this anyway! Thank you for being so generous by giving people on the internet free workout and stretching videos. You're taking care of our bodies and minds and promoting a healthy lifestyle. You are one in a million, Cassey, thank you!
Cassey's positive attitude makes her workouts fun😁
I’m really proud of everyone who has done this video. You are taking one more step to loving yourself, and you deserve that. Thank you
Ive heard it put this way : "Ego is self serving. Confidence serves others"
Love that!!
I don't know how you do it, but, the fact that you are able to talk and exercise all without losing your breath is completely amazing. I do like the physical and mental training together.
I LOVED the old-school blogilates vibe of this video, it's so nice working out with an inspirational message and it really helps me feel motivated and energised- please keep them comming!!!
I think we can all appreciate Cassey for making these videos for us. And for talking the entire time during this one to distract us from the pain. Thanks girl love you!
I have to modify this video a lot, but I won't give up! I used to put myself down for doing the modified positions, but I just have to remind myself that I am still strengthening my abs. We can do it!
Just wanted to say that in over 5 years of being a POPster, this series is by far my favourite. I love your advice and tips
i thought you were just a very good teacher, funny and beautiful. I'm leary to trust people with their intentions, but this sealed my thoughts. You are a very kind, good person! Thank you for all ur help!
Aww this means a lot to me!
I've been dealing with a lot lately, so many things happening and honestly every time after I am done with a video I feel better than before. My mood is completely flipped a 180 and it's very helpful for when I feel like things are falling apart.
Cassey, you are always beautiful, but today you looked absolutely RADIANT! Thanks for making such amazing videos and being a positive influence in our lives
Aww thank you!
Darra R omg at first I thought you said ratchet and I was about to go off on you😂😂
Made it to day 5 of the beginners calendar which is more work than I had ever done for my body. I did the other video listed for today but by this one I was pooped. I’m still really proud of myself for coming this far. Thank you for putting this out for free and for being so kind to all your viewers and giving me the motivation I need to keep going
Before doing video: "oh these moves will be easy"
3 minutes in: "omg I can't"
Following the beginners workout calendar now that we're under quarantine and wow! This was the hardest day so far. I could barely do the moves and had to take a lot of breaks but I'm proud of myself for not just quitting halfway through the videos. Day 5 and going strong!
I'm embarrassed to say this but I was seriously considering skipping my workout today but then I saw this on my subscriptions box. Now I'm in my active wear ready to kill this 💪 might even throw in some dance practice afterwards 😏 seriously seeing Cassey being so happy because of pilates motivates me to exercise. I want to be healthy and happy like her too!!
i love how you have a lesson/something to teach in verbal with every move. it really helps the learning while exercising at the same time. it really helps, and i think you're such an inspiration. thank you so much
I'm gonna watch this even tho I'm not gonna workout
NAOMI VDB I'm watching this in bed lol
saaame i always just watch workout videos and never do them
NAOMI VDB IS THAT GRAYSON DOLAN
Come on bromieomie you can do this workout
I'm 12 years old and I love your core and ab workout videos because it really challenges me to push myself out of my comfort zone a bit more. You're my inspiration ❤️
I love this series! Sometimes if the move is hard it's easier when I'm listening to you talk :) also I think you're very knowledgeable so I love to hear what you have to say!
Thank you Cassey! You are such an adorable, fun, inspirational fitness instructor who always keeps it real! Honestly! My 10 year old daughter likes to do workouts with me and we always choose to do yours together. I feel like you are always building us up, teaching us to love ourselves no matter what, and working out to be healthy and the best us we can be. NEVER focusing on how you look or what others think of our bodies. These are the fundamentals I want my daughter to understand. So thank you, thank you, thank you!!! ❤️
I love the thumdmail ❤️ confident Cassey
true trini thanks!!!!
Thanks cassey for all your videos, you inspire me to be the best version of myself! You look great!

This is the greatest way to do this. I'm terrible at committing to a work out if I'm focusing on the movements or the workout. The narration during it, takes the focus off of the move and, for me, means it's a lot easier to get through the whole workout. If there's something else that has my attention, I stop focusing on the burning and the pain of doing these moves (because definitely not as fit as Cassey!) and just do them!
THAT WAS REALLY HARD , but I didn't give up I kept going and I am happy
I've been doing this workout for a week everyday to start off my morning and your positivity just makes everything better
YOU ARE THE MOST MOTIVATING AND INSPIRING FITNESS GURU I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE 😍
Thank you so much! I haven't been working out lately and have noticed that I've been getting stressed and uncertain about certain decisions I need to make. This really helped me get back on track and I feel motivated to do what I'm good at and to keep learning.
You are a legend ! Thank you so much for all that you do! You helped me to become the person I wanted to be. Thanks for helping me get fit ! Love you Cassy !
Cassey*
Cassey, you are just awesome!! Thank you for being a positive influence!! I’m 37 and you are an idol to me! I look forward to every workout.. even though I know I will be hurting so bad after.. it’s definitely worth it!!!
Can you please do another cheap clean eats
yes i can!
Cassey my girl, I haven't worked out in a long time due to a very traumatic death in my family. Your workout had me shivering and shaking but I'm so glad I did it.
Cassey, this video gave me the energy to continue the other workouts for the day. Although the second move was kind of hard for me, but it was good
and I enjoyed it.
Cassey can you please do more of these videos. Thanks
By the way cassey you looked gorgeous.
I love the positivity and the work out, I would love to see the positives on a write-up that can be shared without the work out for those who might have issues with over exercise or something of that nature.
What if we can't get rid of the negative people. Like, for example my hobby is swimming and I love swimming but there is a negative girl in swimming training who keeps on trying to bring me down. What should I do?
I suggest reading or listening to the subtle art of not giving a fxxk by Mark Manson. While I LOVE Cassey and her positivity, Mark gives a very different perspective on how we react to the world's negativity. He addresses something like this in one of the chapters. There are a lot of factors in the world we can't control, but don't feel like a victim. We, ourselves, are responsible for our own feelings and how we react to the world. Take control and simply don't give a fxxk about the negativity. That is not an easy thing to do but that is just a part of life. It isn't supposed to be easy. Anyway, highly recommend reading the book.
Also... I'm going to assume you are in high school? Correct me if I'm wrong. Coming from someone who just graduated from college... Man! I can't believe I even gave a fxxk about any of the stuff I was worried about in HS.
Punch her in the face (jk)
Ask her to stop being so negative out loud because it just brings other people down? She can't fix herself if no one tells her it's a bad habit. But that might just be me preferring honesty rather than seemingly sparing someone's feelings. Try, "You keep being so negative and I think it's holding you back. It's definitely not good for the people around you." ??
I had a girl like that on my high school swim team. She would nitpick the little things I did and always tell me that I was doing something wrong. The best thing to do is to not let that girl's words get to you and focus on doing what you love. I have to say one of the major things I miss about being on the swim team wasn't the people but the sport itself. I didn't have many friends on my team and none of my family members came to watch my relays because they worked, so I stopped putting my heart into it and only focused on when it would be over even though swimming is something I have always been passionate about. Now it's hard for me to find time to go to the pool and I really regret not taking advantage of the program and getting to swim when I had the chance.
To sum it up just focus on doing what you love(which is swimming) and be nice to that girl. Let her be a jerk because everyone else will see it and it will only make her look worse.
Shes only picking at you because she's intimidated by you she probably wants to be the best swimmer but she has some "compettion" (and it's you by the way)
Can I just say I’m still doing these videos and LOVING IT - something about your positivity whilst doing Pilates always keeps me going Cassey!! Forever grateful 🫶🏽✨
Cassey, I admire how generous you are with life advice and how you help build positive people with that advice 😊
Day 5, Part 2 done! Today's been tough as the situation in Spain is getting worse, plus it's almost the weekend and I think being inside will be more difficult psychologically. Regardless, I got through the routine and will be back tomorrow for Day 6 :)
I don't know where I would be without you, Cassey! You are so inspiring. I learned so much from you. Thanks to you I know that I have to work on me every day to be a better and stronger person and I should never stop. I lost about 30 pounds in 3 years. I am so much stronger now. I learned that no body is perfect (what is even perfect? how do you define perfect?) and that every body is different. You give such good advice and I don't mean only the fitness tips. I love your positivity and honesty. Thank you for motivating me every day! Have a nice day! Love you 💞
Wow! Wow! WOW! thank you for this!! This video is fantastic and appreciate this workout and your radiant energy, I truly enjoy when you talk to us. You say you're no good at public speaking but we POPsters see you practicing and pushing yourself! Thank you from my heart xoxoxo
I remember I started watching you in 2012-2015 when I was in high school and years later coming back to you to motivate myself to get back into this journey
First I hated ab workouts, but now (thanks to Cassey) I really love it! :)
I just started high school a week ago and I'm currently in the process of losing weight and I was so shy and insecure the first week worrying about what others thought of me.😔 I couldn't even raise my hand to answer questions. This honestly helped me so much Cassey thank you so much😘
January 2018 calender anyone? :)
btw. this was so hard for me.. my neck don´t usually hurt during doing abs, but twisted crunch, boat crunch and single leg situp were killers... do you have some tips? i was focusing on my back (to dont lift them up ) and ofcourse dont lift myself by neck but by my abs ..but it still hurt af :/
(Lenka Stieglerová) Relax your neck. Don't focus on it so much, just let it do what it's doing. Let it rest on your shoulders, and let it free. Just do the workout without focusing on the neck.
I'm usually not too good at complimenting myself - I'm sure many girls aren't - but today I'm proud of myself because I did this workout and I feel stronger now! Thanks Cassey for making those videos and reminding us that confidence comes from within.
You are my hero Cassey! Your whole being is so positive and beautiful :)
Cassie I wanna thank you, for all this amazing videos for begginers , I use to think that I’m a pro at Pilates but know that I have found you made me realize that Pilates is more about movement , is connection with your body and mind. .
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL video in EVERY aspect!
I really love having this kinda old Cassey back, advicing us about life in general. I felt the entire workout, and I leave the video with a terrific feeling of satisfaction and happiness. Thank you so much Cassey, you've taught me so many things, I'm super proud of you. :)
I think we need more of these kind of videos
When I homeschooled my children we belonged to a speech and debate group. One of the events was impromptu speaking. The kids are given a topic and have 5 minutes to prepare a 10 minute speech. You would've rocked it! And yes, you talking through the exercises really does help!
I can't even sit in that position where my knees are bent and back is up! Do you have any exercises for abs where you stand up?
And yes, there is a huge difference from being confident and cocky!
I love that you blog about life during these. I work so much I hardly have time to listen to motivational talks. It's great to get two in one. Besides that, I would love to talk easily like you as I workout. That's one goal these year for me as a public speaker and performer. Thanks for the advice and good workout Casey!
2019 comment here, compliment to you for a beautiful human being you are
Cassie this video is exactly what I needed right now. I love that you equally value physical and mental well being. You are truly an inspiration and thanks to you I am always motivated to keep improving myself through wellness and self care.
This video made my day!!! THANK YOU
Dear Cassy,
Hey! I'm a fellow popster and I just wanted to thank you. You have been such a motivation to me, I can't explain how much that means! You're such a beautiful, positive, kind, and lovable person, I don't even know how people can hate on a person like that. I used to be very unhealthy, skinny, and very unhappy. Your workouts made me much more than skin and bones, they made me who I am. You have such good advice, and I love how you talk through each of your videos. (If you hadn't I probably would've passed out by now) You are one of my greatest role models. Ily so much, never change! 😘
Hi guys!! I am doing the August calendar. This is my first time following her calendar, and I am curious if there is any results with this?? I use to workout to just random videos, mostly strength with weights. I was getting really bored with working out and I wanted to try something new. I am eating healthier along with working out strictly to her calendar. Please, let me know if you have seen results with this!! If you would like, I can update you on how things go for me.
1 full week update: I was sore everyday the first week. I am definitely feeling like I am getting stronger, I see definition/more toning in my arms and legs - I believe. The abdomen and hips are a tricky spot for me; therefore, no visible changes yet.
Week 2: Feeling a lot stronger and able to do the moves better and for longer; however, some are still out of my reach, strength, and flexibility. I see definition in my legs - they're toning out with more muscle - haven't slimed down much if any. Arm looks toned, but stomach still has no abs. Stomach is feeling a lot flatter. My scale says I weigh a pound more than last week.
Vanessa Black Keep it up!!
Week 3: I know I'm a tad early; however, I am too excited not to share!! I am seeing definition in my quads and I love it! Arms are toned and stomach is slimmer. I feel like I have lost a little fat around my waist when trying my usual shorts on. I measured my thighs AAAANNNDDD I LOST A HALF AN INCH!!!! My one shorts that were previously snug fit again!!! Have yet to weigh myself but will tell you if I lost or gained pounds since last week!
Week 3 - continued: hey guys! So, to inform you guys, I did not weigh myself at the beginning of this journey; therefore, I don't know exactly how much I lost/gained. I weighed 121 last week, and today I weigh 120 - so a pound down!! Now, keep in mind, I do make sure I burn more calories than I consume; however, I still eat things I enjoy! I don't want to deprive myself because food does make me happy. Last night I went to Red
Robin and earlier this week I had pizza with the family for a solar eclipse watching party. I would most likely see more results if I ate a strict healthy diet. However, I feel great and strong. I feel more confident in my clothes and I'm happy - what more can I ask for.
I'm so loving your positivity! You radiant happiness and "real"-ness! Thanks Cassey!
Please do healthy breakfast or school lunches please
Been following you for almost 7 years, and its been so nice seeing you bloom into this amazing person! Keep inspiring!
i love you cassey!
This is the first video where I actually cried. I'm on the Beginner's Calendar and I was getting frustrated that I couldn't sit up all the way for some of these moves and I had to modify them for myself. But the one nice thing I will say to myself is that I tried and gave it my all and didn't quit. That's how I will get stronger. 💪

Hey Cassey, I just wanna say thank you for this video. Sure it was 5 years ago but it really helps me. Even though I already know all these things, sometimes I need to hear it from someone else other than myself for it to solidify within me. It's hard struggling with imposter syndrome and chasing after what I want. There's a lot of unlearning and untangling I have to do. The funny thing is that it's so easy for me to give compliments to people but hard to do that for myself. But that's my own journey to self-love. Thanks again for the video!
January 17, 2023 😘
As someone who usually HATES ab workouts, I really enjoyed this one! The moves weren't complicated, I knew how long I was going to be doing them, AND I learned some helpful confidence tips along the way. Great tips and great video! Thanks, Cassey!
please talk more motivationally like this!!! i wasn’t concentrated on the pain at all!
Thank you Cassey for being such a GREAT fitness instructor and also a life coach! You’re just amazing, love you!
Tbh my thighs hurt more than my abs 😂
Hi Cassey!!! I just want to say thank you so much for each and every one of your videos!! They motivate and inspire me so much! I love how positive you are and it always brightens my day whenever I excercise with you. Granted, the excercise isn't the easiest thing but I end up feeling so proud in the end! You have no idea how much you've done for me and countless others. We love you so much and thank you for everything!!!
Breast slimming tutorial please!
JooHyun Kim yes please
JooHyun Kim That is part of arm and back workout, you cannot possibly work only on your breast
Fluffy Fairy :)) good words, true, and nice picture
Are you an otaku ...or maybe even kpop lover? :)
nothing to be proud of when it causes back pain. pectoral workouts may help? I am working on the same, also looking into workout and daily bras with better support.
Yes, you can control your breast size if your breasts are the result of weight gain. You would have to lose fat and you can't really target fat loss in certain areas. Breasts are VERY fatty, so you would need to exercise (cardio, pilates, strength training) AND a healthy diet to maintain or gradually reduce your caloric intake.
Cassey! I hope you have a wonderful Friday because you helped me start my Friday wonderfully. Thanks for your beautiful smile, positive messages, and motivating workouts. Sam is a lucky man to have a ray of sunshine as his girl!
Your bed, couch and toilet is lava
