Hey guys!

Happy new month! (Said in the tone of “Happy new year!”) Well actually, there’s 12 hours left til October 1st for me, but I know some of y’alls from all over the world have started the new month already! Even though it’s getting chillier, I am a bit more than a tad excited for fall. It’s kinda weird. I love seeing the oranges, reds, and yellows. It’s almost comforting in a way. And then certain foods start appearing again…like Starbucks and their pumpkin spice lattes….Trader Joes and their brussel spouts. Ah! So lovely.

Anyway, here is your new #ABTOBERFEST calendar! (Like the name? Yeah? Yeah?) This month I decided to hone in on your core a little more and give you extra cardio ab days. Whatcha think about dat!!?? Be sure to check the bottom of this post for the daily playlists!

AND! To trick your body and get out of any possibility for a plateau…I am changing up your rest days! You’re going 5 days on and 1 day off. The rest days are colored in mint. On rest days you are to stretch thoroughly and also try the recipe listed. This will help ease your mind, relax you, and nourish you.

The Exclusive Vid this month is called Fat Incinerator Cardio! If it’s October in your country already, you’ll see the Exclusive Vid in the #ABTOBERFEST Calendar in your Blogilates iPhone app as the 1st workout on the 1st of the month! This workout is a HIIT style quick fat burn routine that will make you sweat. I was dying when we filmed this. Will be an EXCITING start to the month. But if you don’t have an iPhone, no worries (I’m coming out with Android soon), you can still get the Fat Incinerator Cardio on shopblogilates.com to keep up.

The last day..HALLOWEEN…is a quick HIIT day!! I don’t know what your plans for Halloween but I think for many of us it involves scandalous costumes. Hahaha. Those parties are probably happening on Friday or the weekend so I’m giving you a FOR SURE fat melt right before you need to get into your outfit. Plus it’ll have you feeling confident and super energetic.

There you have it guys…I planned out your whole month for you. Are you ready to once and for all make all the changes necessary to live you life the way you want to live it? Now is the month. Let’s do it! I’m right here with you!

Oh and here’s your last workout of September for sculpting nice legs for skinny leggings!

Have a fantastic start to your week POPsters. I am so proud of you. You make me smile and I just love how motivated and inspired you are. You are the reason why this community is thriving. You are simply the best!

Much love and work hard!!!!

    Hi can anyone tell me the password for this moths workout calendar, my email deleted my inbox and my trash so I couldn’t get the password in time. help please !

  3. Kristina says:

    Hi Cassey!

    I really love your blog and all of the workouts! You really put so much effort into allowing the POPster community the opportunity to live and love a healthy, clean, positive lifestyle. I am fairly new to this community–I’ve been doing your calendars and following your blog posts for about 2 months now. I was wondering if you could do a video on your favorite beauty products and fashion retailers! I LOVE all of your workout outfits for the videos and dresses for Cheap Clean Eats! Your hair and skin also always look so healthy! Thank you for everything you do for us! WE LOVE YOU!
    Xoxo

    Hi you guys!! I did this in the summer and loved it except school happened and I was too busy. But I want to start again! so should I start on the October Calendar on October 29th? or should I start the beginners again.. :(.

    1. Kristina says:

      What ever you feel comfortable with! If you want to do a week of the Beginners calendar to see where you stand (strength wise) than that doesn’t hurt! Or you could start the October calendar now and jump right into the #NOVEMBURN! It’s really up to what you believe! BELIEVE IN YOURSELF! Hope this helps! Xoxo

  5. Demi says:

    Hey Guys! Can you tell me what kind of active am I by only doing blogliates calendar? I mean I want to calculate my BMR (AMR to be exact) and I need to know by how many I must multiply my BMR. So: moderetely active or very active?

    1. Nicole says:

      I think that has to do with a lot of other factors besides just doing blogilates. What are you doing the rest of the day? Are you on your feet? Are you sitting at a desk? I think generally, to be very active, you have to be active throughout the entire day, not just when you work out.

      1. tortor says:

        agreed, id go with moderately active , or even lightly if you are really sedentary the rest of the day!

  6. Amber says:

    I’m not sure if anyone is feeling this but I am doing the monthly workouts for the first time and man I am really feeling it in the knees with all those jumping lunges. I used to have knee injuries and it has stopped hurting for the past few months but with all these high intensity workouts I find that my knee achey-ness is back. Does anyone feel this? And if you do, how do you solve it?

    1. Sarah says:

      I’ve got the same problem, and I’ve been to the doctor with it. He said to feel when it hurts, and then stop. It’s a basic listen to your body, and stop when it’s starting to get painful. You don’t want to injure yourself.
      What I like to do is that I won’t do the lunge or squat all the way, but stop at the point where it hurts, and then come back up. I know it doesn’t give you the full exercise, but as Cassey says everything counts 🙂

      Hope it’ll get better! 🙂 xx

      1. Amber says:

        Thankyou! I havent been able to do lunge jumps but all i basically do is jump while flipping my feet back and forth haha! Hope it will get better soon as my legs (and knees) strengthen 🙂 x

        1. tortor says:

          make sure your butt isnt above or past your front knee as well, it could just be bad posture but hope it feels better!

  7. niniheera says:

    can you do a workout song rock and roll by avril lavigne, i would like to do that workout

    1. Andreanne says:

      YES! That song is so great! Also the video makes no sense at all, which is perfect!

  8. niniheera says:

    hye Cassey !, can you do a workout song “Rock and Roll ” by Avril Lavigne .. i would love to do that workout

  9. Barbora says:

    I think that it isn’t so hard to find the videos on YouTube. Have a nice day 🙂
    And thank you Cassey!

  10. Gabby MO says:

    For the last days of the months appearently the links are broken but you can still find them typing on the search tab (where it says “search this website” on the top right side of this page) the day month and year , i.e.: “october 23 2013” or the day you wish. Good luck 😉

  11. Jessica says:

    Hey cassey do you acturally look at these comments at all anymore? Cause we still cant see past day 21 on the calender? Theres no link to the pages? wtf?

    1. Jamie says:

      I’d imagine she does when she can considering her busy life, maintaining the whole of the Blogilates empire AND work as a pilates instructor. I say this in the least mean way possible, but really for a FREE workout program couldn’t you just take the 2 seconds to search for each video rather than post a rude comment? I mean, after all, this is FREE. Patience, friend, patience. She also was just traveling.

  12. Astrid says:

    Today is hard WO-day! Man, I am so sore… Couldn’t finish part 2 of the summer slimdown, I’ll try it again this evening. Now I need a shower and some clean food.

    Keep going, everybody!
    Love x

  13. Paige says:

    Hey my calendar didn’t download all the way and the above dates stop working on the 20th, can you please add those workouts too

  14. Kathie says:

    Made a youtube-playlist for october 23rd,
    http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2p8eoc06eIGyLErPV6lif5kmCVsdYycW&action_edit=1

      But as Samii said, you can also look for today’s videos on youtube by yourself, thanks to the calendar 🙂

  25. Kat says:

    Does anyone else have an issue with being strong enough to do moves, but extra fat getting in the way? My pooch is constantly making these workouts SUPER difficult. I’ve started to eat clean recently and I’ve lost some of this weight, but I kind of want to know at least one other person has this issue.

    1. Sille J says:

      I have that problem 2! i am good at working out. But i have fat getting in the way.
      But i find it really hard 2 eat clean

    2. Valerie says:

      You aren’t the only ones Kat and Sillie! It is super frustrating because it gets in the way. I often find myself modifying the moves to accommodate my big belly during a lot of the moves. I’ve been eating cleaner lately too and it has helped me to tighten up a little but I have a long way to go before me belly isn’t in the way anymore. We should just keep at it and maybe in a few months we will realize that this problem isn’t as big as it used to be!

      1. Sille J says:

        I’m glad that i’m not the only one. Hope you’re right! <3

  26. diana says:

    cannot access October 22 – 31 videos, is anyone else having a problelm

    1. Hanah says:

      me too.:( plz tell us what’s happening Cassey.

      1. Aastha says:

        I can’t either DDx

        1. Kylie says:

          Its because she hasnt added the links in yet.

          1. Vanina says:

            For those who do not have time, check your calendar and search the videos on youtube!;0 Lets have a great workout….

    2. Kelly says:

      she puts the playlists on as the dates come im pretty sure

      1. Sabrina says:

        The link above doesn’t work (yet), but if you enter Backless Dress Workout in
        the search field, the third or so brings you to the October 22 page 🙂
        No reason to not do the workout today 😉

    3. Caro Lolcat says:

      just use the link from day 21 and change the number in it 😉

  27. diana says:

    I cannot access October 22 – 31 calendar videos, is anyone else having the problem.??

  28. Marika says:

    Hi Cassey,
    I’ve been doing your videos for 2 years and I love them all!
    I’ve turned 17 this year and I still have baby fat on me because im still
    a growing teen so find it hard to lose weight! I eat clean most of the time like
    salads and all that but I do eat a lot of healthy foods like dinner. I excersise around 30-50 minutes a
    day depends what im doing I guess. I do boxing twice a week and runnin twice or three times a week.
    Im wondering if I will ever be able to lose weight because my sister when she was a teen like me she had a little baby fat on her buy like a year after she finished school it lik vanshished mysteriously, she eats clean but doesn’t excerise as much as me. So im not sure if its genetics and that I should not worry about it now? x

    1. Bethany says:

      If you’re concerned, talk to your doctor. But if your sister lost it that quickly, I wouldn’t worry too much. Weight gain/loss is largely genetics.

  29. sol says:

    Helo Cassey,
    Is it possible to put in the next workout calendar some “wake up and do things” ? I loved it in the beginner’s one. MAke feel the day start super activ and positiv !

  30. Jade says:

    cassey!! i signed up for the newsletter BUT for 2 months i never got the link to the password for the workout calenders

    1. Ebone says:

      You may have to search for “Cassey” or “Blogilates” in your email manually. I never notice the password or updates instantly either because all my other emails bog it down 🙂

  31. Rachel says:

    Can you do a workout to “Brave” by Sara Bareilles? It has a great message and a great beat. I’m trying to incorporate the ideas in the song into my own life. Check it out; you’ll love it!

    1. Aneesa says:

      YES I AGREE!!! BEST song at the moment! Please make a workout to this song!

  32. Demi says:

    Hey Guys, is there enough cardio in this calendar if I want to loose weight? 🙂

    1. Aastha says:

      Yes^^ Anything that makes your heart rate go up is cardio (:
      Doing some of the moves in Pilates may do that so BAM CARDIO :DD

  33. Alexis says:

    Hey, Cassey! I think you should do a HIIT like a girl series! <3

  34. Melissa says:

    After halfway doing the Abtoberfest calendar, I’ve decided to change all of the “Abs and Cardio and “Total Body Workout” days with POP HIITs (with new workout if it’s available) because I gained weight (fat, obviously, I ate too much processed food T_T)

  35. Hannah says:

    Please make an android app for this

    1. Ebone says:

      ^Yes please!!!

  36. Lilla says:

    Hi everyone! 🙂
    I started doing the october calendar on the 1st of ocotber, and i did the beginners calendar in august, and i realized, that my left leg is a litlle bit weaker than my other one. its not so visible but still i’d like to have even legs. Do you have any suggestions, ideas that could help me improve my left leg and make it equal to the other one?
    thanks so much

    1. Asha says:

      Single-legged squats maybe? You could either do them as extra, or just do single-legged squats with your weaker leg every time you’re supposed to do squats in the workouts.

      1. Lilla says:

        thank you 🙂 i was thinking the same, and maybe doing extra sets on my weaker leg. hope it will work 🙂

  37. Sara says:

    Hey Popsters!Can Someone help me figure out why do my right wrist hurt while I am working out??Its the region around the thumb that hurts the most!!I think it hurts the most when I am doing burpees!!Can some one please tell me what I am doing wrong??Thanks!

    1. Selena says:

      If you’re a beginner, you might be putting too much pressure on your wrists too soon. When I first started I underestimated how weak I (and my wrists) were so now I always have this sharp pain on my lest wrist whenever I do wrist intensive moves like ballerina twists or burpees that I can never explain but I know it’s there and it’s slightly uncomfortable. I’ve learned that it helps if you spread your fingers out starfish style and spread the pressure of your body weight over the ENTIRE hand and not just the palm. You can also use your fists instead of having your hands out 90 degrees and that really, really helps your wrists out. Always listen to your body! Stop doing the move if you know it’s doing you more harm than good. Hope this helps and good luck.

      1. Sara says:

        Thanks for your suggestion!!Keeping my hand in fists is really uncomfortable for me!But I have been trying not to put too much pressure on my palms while getting into plank!And spreading my fingers starfish style!!

  38. Macia says:

    I don’t know what to do! I’ve 17 years old girl from Poland. I’m slim but I want lose some weight and do my abs better. I don’t know what should I do first: exercise to ABS or do exercise from calendar. Please help me! I want to start as soon as possible.

    1. Dijana says:

      Remember the first step is to eat clean. A combination of cardio + abs + total body will get you toned up!
      You could do the calendar or just put together an hour workout yourself, just keep in mind that you need to have a combination of strenght and cardio to get the results you want.! Check out Cassey’s FAQs

  39. Toni says:

    I’m doing the calender to improve my overall fitness. I weigh 110 pounds and am 5.5 and I’m pretty sure i don’t need to lose weight nor do I want to. Its hard coming onto sites and getting influences from other people because most people on here are trying and I find myself thinking I should lose weight too! Anyway I’m hoping to get toned from following this calender and nothing else. I run 1-3 times a week and run from 6-9km (depends on whether ive had a “YOLO” meal that day to be honest) Combining this with at least 30 min of pretty fast walking and this calender, should I be eating 2000 cal to maintain my weight???? Some sites have told me to eat 2500 and others 1600. If i go over 1700 i freak out and i have serious anxiety issues when it comes to food and don’t have much control. Overall however my diet is pretty clean, i eat tonnes of fruit and vege. I want to keep my metabolism pumping coz living off 1400 or whatever calories is no fun, I’m 18 and want to enjoy life and have a healthy relationship with food! Any feedback would be so much appreciated!xxxx

    1. Dijana says:

      You should calculate your BMR first, it will tell you how many calories your body burns while in rest. That means just for vital body functions for an entire day. Never go below that calorie count so let’s say if you workout and burn 300 calories in a workout you should eat your bmr + 300cal so that your net is not below your bmr.
      usually you tend to eat 1700-200 calories to mantain your weight, but everyone’s body is different.

      Ps: If you want to tone up combine cardio with strenght exercises
      Have fun on your journey :’)

    2. Asha says:

      You need at least 1900 calories per day to maintain your weight (on non-workout days). On days when you run, you should probably eat close to 2300 calories, and 2100 on days that you just do the Pilates. Or just average it out based on how much you’re working out.

      Here’s where I calculated it from: http://www.active.com/fitness/calculators/calories

  40. Jennica says:

    Hi! Can someone please help me figure out on how to use this calendar 🙁

    I’m a little lost with all the titles. Are they titles to videos?!

    1. Heather says:

      Each checkbox on the calendar has the titles of her videos. If you print the calendar then you can search the workout title on YouTube. You can also few the playlist of her videos for the day if you go to the calendar directly on Blogilates.com and then scroll down you will see a link for each day. Hope this helps you out 🙂

    2. Macia says:

      Under calendar are the DAILY PLAYLISTS ( 1 October, 2 October…). You choose which day is today and click. Then you see a site with workout videos .

  41. alex says:

    Hey Guys..

    Started doing the calendars the last week of September and am loving it! However, should I aso be supplementing these workouts with cardio as well or will I lose weight by just doing the workouts alone? I know adding cardio to workouts will obviously be more effective, but I don’t a ton of time. I try to spin once or twice a week and go on crazy long hikes at least once a week but I truly hate running. I’m also eating super clean, yet I’m not seeing much results.. HELP ME PLEASE!!

    1. serena says:

      i don’t if this will help you but i do cardio + cassey calendar and if i dont have time i don’t do the longest video of cassey and i’m seeing results , don’t worry you will seeing results soon 🙂

  42. Paula Sofia says:

    cassey how do i know how many calories I am burning with each video? please if anyone know can you tell me? Thank You!

  43. Maria says:

    I’m loving this calendar!!!!!! omg super excited already lost more 4 pounds!!!!! Lets go POPsters!!! work hard, it works!

  44. OKAY!! Let me just say that this Calender is SOOO SUPA cute!!! ^.^ I am LOVING Fall and I need a DAILY routine!! I first started out with Amanda Russel (who is still amazing) with her workout plans but after 2 days she told me I had to sub for $10 or $50 for a year…..I did 2 of her workouts and they do work but when I started doing my own routine my leg started hurting :/ Iv known Cassey Ho’s workouts for a long time and have been waiting for these types of plans!! 99 cents a month is deffo affordable but better yet FREE!!! I have school to pay and things to buy and even tho $10 a month isnt bad I just think 99 cents is better! Amanda is planning to increase it once a month to probably $40 or more a month so its limited for now but thank God Cassey is FREE and always will be!!! 🙂

  45. Aastha says:

    Clean Hot Cocoa?:D

    1. Lexi says:

      I know a yummy hot cocoa recipe!
      1 tbsp cocoa
      1 tbsp pure maple syrup
      1 cup skim milk, almond milk, soy milk, coconut milk

      Mix the cocoa and maple syrup to form a syrup, then pour in microwaved milk! Yum 🙂

      1. Asha says:

        Ooh, I’m gonna have to try that, it sounds good (except I don’t have maple syrup at the moment, so I’ll have to use honey)… I think I’m gonna make right now….

        1. Asha says:

          Yup, it’s good 🙂

  46. Bárbara says:

    Today i was very sweaty, trembling but happy! i did all and complete! Sore but proud!!

  47. Carmen says:

    So I am thinking I’ll want to have a baby in a few years… please Cassey make some videos for the pregnancy period… I don’t want to make a long pause then. And surely there are other pregnant ladies who would love that. Perhaps we won’t have that belly pooch or much extra fat after having the baby! Post pregnancy as well, of course.
    Thanks for everything!
