Hey POPsters!
The September Workout Calendar will be released tomorrow so make sure you’re all signed up!
A little sneak peek into what may be headed your way…I’d love it if you could fill in the blanks below with the names of your fave celebrities.
I WANT:
- A Butt like …
- Abs like …
- Legs like …
- Arms like…
- A body like …
Get ready for new moves, new creative equipment, and awesome hardcore routines!!!
For the unmotivated…
Also, a quick note for those of you who may be feeling a little bloated or sluggish lately. I was feeling this way after I got home from London. And it took me a good week and a half to shake it off. My advice to you?
Just start eating wayyyyy more veggies, drink tons of water, and hit your workouts. Even if you have to go slow, just go. Do it. Don’t skip it or you’ll feel even worse physically and emotionally. You’ll see a difference in your body and mood! Promise.
I know. I know it sucks to get up and workout when you don’t feel good, look your best, and simply feel like you don’t have time. But seriously, get your butt off the computer chair and JUST DO SOMETHING ACTIVE.
I didn’t tell you guys on the blog, but for the past couple weeks I was seriously in a workout rut!!! I even went 2 or 3 days without exercise in a row. (That’s a hugeee rarity for me, esp. since I am a fitness instructor/the gym is my 2nd home.) If you have been following my tweets you may have picked up on it.
Anyway, you know how I battled it? Here are some tips to get motivated to go to the gym and have a SPECTACULAR WORKOUT:
- Set a date/time with yourself to hit the gym or hit the mat. Write it on a post it like “6:30pm WORKOUT” and stick it next to your computer.
- Write your workouts out first!!! This works sooooo well!!! It’s like a personal trainer on paper. If you tell yourself to do 4 sets of 12 bicep curls, then you will more likely stick to your plan versus just winging it until it hurts. I do this all the time when I do at-home workouts that consist of a bunch of HIIT movements. (Oh yah, you bet I get mad at myself for writing Burpees – 1 min)
- Trick yourself into a hard workout. What? Okay listen. I figured this out last week. It was 7:45pm and the gym was gonna close at 9pm and I said, ehhh, maybe I’ll just skip it. I fought with lazy Cassey in my head for a good few minutes and ended up with a compromise. I told myself, “Okay just go easy, do elliptical for 30 min and weights for 30 min, no biggie.” It made it easier to go to the gym when I didn’t think it’d be some crazy intense routine with tuck jumps and a million duck squats. But you know what happened? Once I got to the gym, first of all, half the battle was won, but then I suddenly felt like I needed to go hardcore. So I replaced the elliptical with 30 of sprints on the treadmill and sweated like crazy! See what happened here? Tell yourself whatever you need to tell yourself to get out of your chair, and once you’re there, you’ll see that your mind is clear and you’re ready to rock it.
Hope that helps you!!!
Hmmm…and to start the motivational process…
For the first time ever, I’m doing a WORKOUT COMMAND on the blog!
15 single legged t-squats each leg! For nice quads and butt! GOOOOOOO!!!!! Demo here.
Good work! Let me know below if you did them 🙂
Have a fab day!
<3 Cassey

I have been doing your workouts for a while not very consistant i might add, but you are a very inspirational person. My problem is my thighs and sweets, I wish to develop clean eating habbits everything goes to my thighs and butt. Presently dealing with divorce, 2 kids and work but emotional stress has seem to take over me. Any advice will help am sure because I need to come out of this rutt.

Danielle Peazer is a professional dancer.Eleanor Calder is a girlfriend of Louis Tomlinson.Danielle is famous and so is Eleanor I guess but I really want Danielle’s body!!She is perfection!!!And so is Eleanor!!!
I have too many days I feel sluggish..whoops. But I will keep in mind what you posted here.
Writing out/ planning ahead the workouts works better in my case. so THAT INDEED I agree.
“Tricking” the brain is such a big think. Sometimes if I am having negative thoughts in my mind, I talk out loud positive thoughts such as “I can do this.” “I want to do this.” “I know I will feel better after this workout.” “I am beautiful.” etc. etc. so I can convince my negative/ sluggish mind I am capable of doing the workout.
But I HAVE to say it out loud…
Anyhoo. Thanks for sharing this Cassey.

Hi! I’m a POPstar from Spain! I personally think we shouldn’t compare ourselves with anyone else since comparations can only lead us to unhappiness! We should want to be just like ourselves, like the BEST version of ourselves! Everyone has a different kind of body so trying to get someone else’s body can be frustrating because it’s impossible.
Cassey, you’re always so positive… And I love your web, but I disagree with this post because it reminds me to the common posts that can be found in blogs written by girls with eating disorders 🙁
Hi, Spanish POPster! The post is about the coming september workout. It’s nothing to do with comparing yourself with celebs that train insanely hard to, well let’s face it, make money and looking good on camera. Maybe Cassey didn’t write it clear enough to everyone to understand it, but she did say it in the beginning of the post, and I quote ‘for September workout calendar’.
Cheers and can’t wait for the new workout calendar! -Swedish POPster 😀
that’s true, I think Cassey just wanted some inspiration for celebrity-related workouts like the abs-like-miley-cirus one.
That’s actually why I didn’t answer to this bc I clearly would have said “abs, arms, legs, butt and body like …Cassey!!!” but I don’t think she would do a here’s-how-you-can-get-my-supertoned-body workout 🙂 as this might easily come out as narcisstic or arrogant or something (if you know what I mean). So she needs a bunch of celebs to relate to.
Bottom line: don’t worry! 🙂 I’m sure Cassey – and all us popsters btw – is totally with you on the thing with the best version of yourself instead of comparison.
cheers from Switzerland

Thanks so much for the motivation. I’ve been on vacation for the last two weeks and haven’t really been getting a workout in. I’ve also been super slacking on wanting to work out and you’re tips were so helpful! I’m bribing myself with a Starbucks frapp light as a finish to my walk around town.
My celebrity body crush is Bar Refaeli!! I especially love her abs. They are my dream abs 🙂 I’m quite slim, and generally happy with my body, but I have a lower belly pooch that I’d like to get rid of (thanks a lot mom :p). And of course there are those ever annoying inner thighs, I’d like Gisele Bündchen’s legs.
Did your workout command BTW, I was just finished with my workout, so the timing was perfect. Although I must admit I looked horrible doing them :p My flexibility isn’t quite there yet, but I’m working on it every day 😀
I owe you a huge thank you, for making me LOVE exercising. Never thought it would happen. All I’ve got to do now is increase my cardio, I’m thinking of taking up running, which is huge for me, because I’m NOT a runner :p
So that’s it, Thank You, Love You!!
i would like to have the abs, the legs, the ass, the arms and the hair of JEN ANISTON…
Butt Like – Jennifer Lopez

Oh gosh I’m over thinking D: I picked the weirdest combination.
My problem is lack of time.
I wake at 6.30 am to go to work, sitting in from of a computer all day long. And I get back home at 6.30 pm.
From that moment on I do plenty of things and I never manage to go to sleep before midnight. I feel demotivated just by thinking that workout means I will sleep even less hours. ó_ò
A Butt like … Adriana Lima
Abs like … Candice Swanepoel
Legs like … Twiggy/Audrey Hepburn/Miranda Kerr
Arms like… Twiggy/Audrey
A body like … Any of the above
Did the squats. Never did them before so a bit tough.
I don’t pay a ton of attn to celebrity bodies. I have always like Jennifer Lopez and shakira for their music and I know they have great bodies so thats what I pick but really just improving my body would make me the happiest of all! Have a great day looking forward to next months calendar. I found you last week and started doing some of your challenges and really enjoy your videos and posts. I was wondering for some of the leg work you want legs to be straight up in the air and I can’t do that. Are there any stretches you could share that would help with that or if you have a post or video that goes over that I you could tell me. Thanks so much cassey! Have a great day!
I think a lot of celebrities are way too skinny. Like Leeann Rimes and Jessica alba and Kate Hudson, they are all wayyy too skinny, i just see skin and bones. I think people like Demi Lovato, Kate Upton, and Jlo have beautiful curvy womanly bodies, and that’s the kind of body I want. I will say though I love Carrie Underwoods legs!
Please! For one of the workouts can you involve the song “Black Heart” by stooshe! It is my song of the moment ! Xo
I just want my body because Pilates made it stronger and more beautiful <3
I just did the single legged t-squats 😀
Kiiiiisssssssssesssss:*
I always trick myself to work out hard!! I thought I was the only one. I always tell myself I’ll go easy but once I actually get to the gym and am surrounded by all those other fitaholics then there’s no turning back!! I always seem to surprise myself. I love it. =)
I wouldn’t want anyone else’s body. I just want to get the best out of my body and live healthy
<333 Tina I applaud you!
Girls You’re right:), I also wanted to say that I want do my best body, and I’m quite close:D
xoxo
Me too! I’m over 30 now, and I feel I’m at my best. I was so much skinnier at the age of 25, but now I FEEL better and that makes me look better. Thanx to Cassey and her motivational videos!
xoxo

PS- I performed the T Squats. Muahahahahahaha!
PPS- I am not perfect; I struggle being a four foot nine eighteen year old girl, who is barely recognized for her age (ie, I more or less can pass for a tween any day). Honestly, too much curves really give away my height. I believe there are different exercise guidelines for petite women. I do not want to be over or under weight- actually I could care less about a number-, but I do want to look more defined and toned. But, with this body that I have, I do looooovvvveeeee my legs, oddly enough. I love my flexibility, my curly (albeit often wild) mane of long, curly hair, and naturally swift metabolism. I love that I am double jointed, and that I am naturally flexible. I love that I am a little creature with colossal goals and dreams for life.
GO Samantha! I love that you love so much about yourself. I’m on a quest to learn more self love and you have inspired me! Thank you, girl. <3

Love the suggestions for working out when you are not really feeling it. I always write down my workouts so I don’t get distracted or waste time. It keeps me focused. Also I noticed that I need to constantly change up my workout by doing my routine backward, doing cardio in between sets, etc. It’s shocking at how easily your body adjusts to the workouts – you need to constantly be tricking it into shape and that lovely soreness afterward.
A Butt like … Candice Swanepoel
Arms like… Jennifer Aniston
The other body parts, no one in particular 😉
I am becoming on of those unmotivated ones you were talking about :/ I have been going on a mile or so walk/jogged/run, pushing my son in his stroller and then I just skip working out. And eating pretty badly 🙁

Great tips and I totally just did the one legged squats – great way to start the day!
I did the squats! My legs are burning now haha.
As for the body-parts… I must say that I’m not really up to date on everyone’s bodies, but all the suggestions made before me sound good! Very curious about the september workout calendar!!!
This came at the right time for me..reading your posts is always motivational but it’s good to know that you also have difficulties sometimes…today my sister has a party here at home and I will eat my yummy and clean salad instead of the cookies we’ve made and I’m gonna go running and feel good in my body:) thanks Cassey I love you:)
Hey Cassey
I totally agree with the three points you mention about self-motivation. I use these techniques, too!! 🙂
In addition, I also have these ones “in stock” and they work pretty well for me:
1. Think of the post-workout feeling vs. the feeling after skipping a workout: This works particularly well if you write your feelings down when you’re actually having them so you can read them as an “authentic” reminder next time.
2. Stop thinking: Ignore your lack of motivation and tell yourself that it’s absolutely and completely irrelevant that you’re not feeling motivated. Then make those feet drag that butt to the gym and just get it over with no matter what. Usually, motivation comes back as soon as you’re in the locker room 🙂
(I read that one in a magazine and as weird as it sounds, it actually works!)
The second one is my favourite because it works so well for me.
What about the other POPsters? I would love to hear about your motivation techniques 🙂
Those are really good motivation techniques! I might try to incorporate them into my methods. 🙂 Particularly that second one!!
The one motivation technique I use is kinda normal: I watch what I eat.
For example, if I’ve been eating a good balance of nutrients throughout the day/morning for me (I don’t work out first thing in the morning – 4 month old kitten has other plans), I *want* to work out. I’m feeling pretty good – got the energy and clear head to do my workout and just feel *good*. It kinda blends in with Cassey’s motivation to do more. When I feel good, I’m like “I can do 15 mins of cardio, no problem” (I’m still a beginner), and I end up doing so much much.
On the flip side, if I’ve been eating crapy, I kinda guilt-trip myself into doing something – anything exercise related to make up for it. That’s not the best motivation (do not recommend negativity!), but it kinda kicks my butt back into eating better. After a workout, I just want to eat balanced – my tastebuds demand nothing else. It’s odd … and then it means I have to cook.
you know what, I never even thought about that, but it you’re so right!!
it’s like a “good vicious circle” (ok, that would be a virtuous circle, but good vicious circle sounds more epic, haha):
eating clean –> feeling good –> working out –> wanting to eat clean again.
yay! 🙂
Thanks for mentioning this! Now I have even more reasons to eat clean 😉

Hi Cassey,
I’ve always admired your contagious, positive energy and your ability to inspire women all over the world to honor their bodies and challenge themselves. With this post, however, I am truly disappointed.
In an already media and celebrity-obsessed culture, reading your encouraging women to desire body parts of celebrities is disturbing to me. We should never desire to look like or emulate any other person. Rather than encouraging women to desire the body parts of other women, shouldn’t we be focusing on improving ourselves from the inside out? At the end of the day, exercise should be something we do for our souls – for a beautiful release from life; to simply forget about our worries and challenge ourselves.
Many of the women you help every day are plagued insecurities and eating disorders and, speaking as someone who formerly battled and conquered an ED, this is a trigger beyond belief.
I’m not trying to start drama. I’m truly not. I simply couldn’t read this post without commenting on it. I hope that you take these words to heart and reconsider the idea above.
Sending you love and hugs,
Heather
If you’re ‘triggered’ by this post then why do you read this site? Everything on here is about looking good, losing weight and looking fit and sexy(which I find absolutely nothing wrong with). I don’t think blogilates is the place for you unfortunately is everything sets you off. It’s like telling a food site to stop posting recipes cos they make you want to binge eat…ridiculous.
You know what I totally agree with the tricking yourself into working out. I live at the top of a hill on all sides so as soon as I think about working out, I get on my bike and go. By the time my lazy side realises what has happened I’m on my way and have to ride up a steep hill if I want to go home and be lazy again.
And filling in the gaps, I want

arms like Victoria Justice,
and body like Nina Dobrev, again.
I love your workouts, just saying. It’s not easy, I know, but I see the difference everyday. You’re an inspiration for me, Cassey 🙂
◦A Butt like … Scarlett Johansson
◦Abs like … Jessica Alba
◦Legs like … Adrianna Lima
◦Arms like… I’m not sure.. someone who has strong arms but not body builder like!
◦A body like … Megan Fox
<3Hey there Cassey!
I have probbaly been doing your workouts for just over 2 weeks and I feel a difference! Thank you so muchh!
I want a butt like Megan Fox, abs like Irena Sheyk , arms like Cameron Diaz, legs like Kristen Stewart, & a body like Miley Cyrus.
I never really thought about it like that. I just want whole body to be like it is just firmer. It’s weird but nowadays thanks to you I’m like a workout junkie. If I wake up and a part of me doesn’t hurt, I feel like something it’s not right. So on my next workout I go harder lol. Oh Cassey, what did you do to me? lol
But, if I have to fill in those blanks I’d say this:
A Butt like …Cassey
Abs like …Cassey
Legs like …Cassey
Arms like…Cassey
A body like …Cassey
Why? Because you’re firm all around! I always notice how your muscles flex beautifully on your videos and I think: “That’s what I want!” 😀
Exactly, right?!
Yeah, well that’s how I feel. However, I’m afraid my answer didn’t really help Cassey to name her workouts lol. I wouldn’t mind if she just added her name in front of every workout. 😀
Hey 🙂
I could not do a single regular push-up. But then I did your videos, followed your workout calendar. And I just tried again and managed to to three in row.
Yes! Big Win!
Thank you 🙂 !
PS: I also did the T-Squats. A command’s a command 😉
◦A Butt like …Rihanna
◦Abs like …Jennifer Anniston
◦Legs like …Rihanna
◦Arms like…Mine.

Did the squats, killllerrr after my workout. As for filling in the gaps, well I kinda don’t pay much attention to celebs….so I would have to say I would just like the best abs, butt, legs, arms and body that I personally can get <3 Much love to you Cassey <3
Sarah-Jane! Can I just say I APPLAUD your attitude and your awareness that each body is different and each body can attain different things. It’s about what YOU can attain, not the celebrity body you may aspire to attain. I am seriously so impressed by your response to this post and I hope I can internalize your confidence and be more like you in my quest to love myself and my body!
Yesterday I was in the same situation. I felt lazy to do some jogging in the park and exercise there, so decided to do some pilates at home – just few videos.. few minutes later I realized I want more. So I had almost 2 hours of pilates videos and half an hour jogging to the park and back 🙂
Your advice is really working! 🙂
