WORKOUT DETAILS
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!
Much love and work hard!!!!
Here are the DAILY PLAYLISTS:

Thank you for sharing excellent information. Your web-site is so cool.
I am impressed by the details that you have on this website.
It reveals how nicely you understand this subject. Bookmarked this web page, will come back for
extra articles. You, my pal, ROCK! I found just the information I already searched all over the place and simply couldn’t come across.
What a perfect web site.
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 !
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.. :(.
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
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?
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.
agreed, id go with moderately active , or even lightly if you are really sedentary the rest of the day!
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?
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
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
make sure your butt isnt above or past your front knee as well, it could just be bad posture but hope it feels better!
can you do a workout song rock and roll by avril lavigne, i would like to do that workout
YES! That song is so great! Also the video makes no sense at all, which is perfect!
hye Cassey !, can you do a workout song “Rock and Roll ” by Avril Lavigne .. i would love to do that workout
I think that it isn’t so hard to find the videos on YouTube. Have a nice day 🙂
And thank you Cassey!
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 😉
this is the link for today: https://www.blogilates.com/october-23-2013
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?
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.
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
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
this is the link for today: https://www.blogilates.com/october-23-2013

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.
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
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!
I’m glad that i’m not the only one. Hope you’re right! <3
cannot access October 22 – 31 videos, is anyone else having a problelm
me too.:( plz tell us what’s happening Cassey.
I can’t either DDx
Its because she hasnt added the links in yet.
For those who do not have time, check your calendar and search the videos on youtube!;0 Lets have a great workout….
she puts the playlists on as the dates come im pretty sure
https://www.blogilates.com/october-22-2013
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 😉
just go to it directly: https://www.blogilates.com/october-22-2013
just use the link from day 21 and change the number in it 😉
I cannot access October 22 – 31 calendar videos, is anyone else having the problem.??
here’s a link: https://www.blogilates.com/october-22-2013
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
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.
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 !
cassey!! i signed up for the newsletter BUT for 2 months i never got the link to the password for the workout calenders
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 🙂
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!
YES I AGREE!!! BEST song at the moment! Please make a workout to this song!
Hey Guys, is there enough cardio in this calendar if I want to loose weight? 🙂
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
Hey, Cassey! I think you should do a HIIT like a girl series! <3
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)
Please make an android app for this
^Yes please!!!
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
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.
thank you 🙂 i was thinking the same, and maybe doing extra sets on my weaker leg. hope it will work 🙂
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!
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.
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!!
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.
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
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
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 :’)
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
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?!
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 🙂
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 .
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!!
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 🙂
cassey how do i know how many calories I am burning with each video? please if anyone know can you tell me? Thank You!
I’m loving this calendar!!!!!! omg super excited already lost more 4 pounds!!!!! Lets go POPsters!!! work hard, it works!
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!!! 🙂
Clean Hot Cocoa?:D
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 🙂
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….
Yup, it’s good 🙂
Today i was very sweaty, trembling but happy! i did all and complete! Sore but proud!!
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!
I printed this out in color as I like it to pop. Unfortunately it is blurry? I cant read it. 🙁 The last one I printed was clear and beautiful??? help…
maybe you have low ink 🙁 mine is perfect
APPLE PICKING!!!!!! That’s what I am excited about for fall.
Hi Cassey, after doing the beginner’s calendar, can i jump right away into October’s calendar? Will it not be very difficult for me since I am a beginner? Hope to hear from you soon..
The beginner’s calendar is to get you ready to follow the monthly calendars, so yes, you can jump right into October’s calendar. It will still be really hard, though.
When the calendar lists “new workout” does that mean she will be posting something new on the website that day?
Yes, she posts a new video on her youtube on that certain day 🙂
I am a beginner and I don’t know how should i do these exercises.I have to take short breaks between the videos or do a few in the morning and the rest in the afternoon.
Both of those are fine (the best of those methods is the one that lets you use the best form during all the videos, so you get the best results)
is it okay if i just start from the 5 oct ? since its already the 5th october ! or should i start from day 1 (oct1)???
start from whatever day you are on. don’t worry if you “missed” the first days
sooooo can anyone answer my question? ive been doing blogilates for a few months now, but this is actually my first month following a calendar. it may be a silly question, but i was just wondering on a day a song challenge is scheduled, do you do that song in between each other workout, or just that once? im sure it wouldn’t hurt to do it more than once at all, but there’s some days im not feeling as up to it lol. answers much appreciated <3
I just do it once. If it’s listed on the calendar to do it once then once 😀 If you want to do it after every video feel free to do so, but it’s not necessary ^^
okay, thank you much! 🙂 that sure saves me a lot of time at least XD
Yeah, no problem :DD
Yes, yes it does xD
Work hard~!!
hey Cassey! I love your workout videos and your monthly plans, I get excited at the end of each month because I know you’ll come out with something fantastic for the next! YAY! I’m just wondering, could you possibly make a meal plan for people who are allergic to eggs, please? I have a sevcere allergy, and some of your recipes I really want to try because they sound so delicious, but I can’t because of my allergy. 🙁 If you could do this I will love you and your program for forever and an eternity (more than I already do :D)
Thanks for getting me (and keeping me) motivated for a super lovely body for Summer! YEAHH! 🙂
Georgina (15, Australia) xo
I really like your workouts, but have trouble with my internet. I can’t watch many videos as my internet is very slow. Would you be able to create printable versions of the new workouts?
ı cant open the videos can me send me calendar again .
Trying to figure out how the calendar workouts work. Do I do all the workouts for each day listed or only choose one of the options and do it?
hey kaycee! you are supposed to do all the videos listed for the day. but if it’s too hard for you just try the beginner’s calendar first, there are less work outs per day and it’s great for preparing your body to working out daily 🙂 hope i could help you!
Thank you so much for these vid-playlists! I suggest you relativly new song Alexandra Stan – Lemonade (Cahill edit) 🙂 Perfect for dancing cuz it’s speed …♥
Hey Cassey I was just wondering if you knew any good ways to elongate your muscles…Love the new calendar!
Hi Cassey, i love to go running, could i go running and do the calender as well? i am actually trying to gain weight because i think i am to skinny.. but i want to gain muscle. do you think that would be to much cardio? i’ve just always been an active person..
As long as you eat enough calories, you should be able to gain weight doing that (try having a protein shake every night, made with milk and a banana – 300-400 calories depending on the protein powder).
The day is gonna be over and I dint know where to get the inner thigh clarity
Icant find which one is the inner thigh clarity???? Someone help me
Hey, I was wondering, can you make a gluten free meal plan? That would be really nice 🙂
won’t be ale to workout for a whole one weekkkk…..oh myyy…:(((
won’t be ale to workout for a whole one weekkkk…..oh meee…:(((
Hi Cassey! No meal plan this month?!??!?! Please!
HELP!! I just deleted the app by mistake and now everything is gone!!!!! I lost the ab video of last month and I have to pay again for this month! What can I do????
+ when I suscribed again the calender still couldn’t work!!!!!
Im new. Can someone tell me where do I find these workouts on the list?
Just go above and it’s the playlists, it has the link to the all the workouts for each day! Good Luck!
thanks! 🙂
Is it normal that on my calendar I can’t see the workouts of all the days this month? And also the new video “Fat Incenerator” is not downloading, what can I do?
Blogilates has really helped me! Everytime i’m about to eat a yolo meal, i think back to Cassey! And i normally exercise at night and that’s when i’m laziest, but whenever i don’t exercise, i feel really guilty! I haven’t really lost anything cause i’m always lazy but Blogilates has changed me for the better! And to the rest of you lovely people out there, i hope that you all achieve your goals and Cassey, if you do see this, i hope that you never stop what you’re doing! Take care everybody. (:
Aww same as you, it’s nice to see a kinda-lazy-but-super-motivated fellow popster haha take care xo
Hey Cassey 🙂
Have you herd Britney Spears new song? “Work Bitch”, it’s a really workout song!
Well, gonna do the workout calendar now, two days in one, since I’ve been traveling the last 4 days, wish me good luck! <3
I’m so excited for this month not only is it my favorite month but also im gonna kill it in the workouts! I also love the color coordination with the “Abtoberfest” calendar, it’s like checkered in a way and totally feeling the season of fall with this calendar! LOVE IT!
– JessieG
Hey Cassey & POPsters,
I’ve downloaded the Blogilates app on my iPod as I don’t have an iPhone. I’ve paid for the monthly calendar but I’m unable to watch the exclusive videos. Every time I try to watch the vid, it crashes a few seconds in and closes the app. I had the same problem last month too. Is anyone else having this problem? I’m not sure how to fix this and I hate missing out.
I’m in exactly the same situation! I thought it might’ve been my internet connection so I didn’t persist but seeing as you’re on your ipod (like me) that might be the source of the problem? Sorry I don’t have a solution, but I would be keen to find out. Love the app though =D
Cassey! you should totally give us a clean pumpkin spice latte recipe, aaaaaand some kind of clean pumpkin bread/muffin/pie/dessert thing!
i second this!!
I third this!
AGREED 😀
so im new to this and on the first day its says Fat incinerator cardio what do they mean by that if its not a video
its an exclusive video, so if you have the app and paid 99 cents this month you get access to her exclusive video.
I dont know if i should follow i need to loose weight and fat not get abs!!
A healthy, clean diet is 80% of weight loss. Also, you burn fat by gaining muscle. Pilates creates tone and lean muscle that is not bulky. I would suggest doing some research or trying the calendar for a bit to see if it works for you. xx
Hi all!! You all have such great feedback so I thought I would throw out a question. This is my first calendar I’m trying. The calendar does add on some cardio but I like to run (30-45 minutes and sometimes sprinting) so I would love to incorporate that into my schedule. For best weight loss results, how many times a week should I run while also attempting this calendar? Is is better to sacrifice one type of workout for the other or should I attempt both in one day? Are there better days to run than others?
I love all of the positivity here!! Picture yourself in 6 months! xx
I remember in one of Cassey’s videos she says that you should do cardio 3-4 times a week for about an hour. I really liked last month’s calendar because she put heavy focus on cardio. Also, I think it’s fine if you sacrifice a workout for another because this calendar is just a guideline for you when you don’t know what videos to do. Sometimes I take out a day and just do an hour of cardio vids 🙂 Hope that helped!
Yes!! So helpful, thank you! I read some more comments on other articles and it sounds like popular options are 1 hour of Cardio or a POP Cardio vid (or the food belly video) 4 times in a row. Now I’m just torn because I want to complete the whole calendar but I also want to run. This is a very positive rock and a hard place!! xx
This is my first month to follow and see a calendar. Do all I do all the workouts she lists in a day? I wasn’t sure if you were supposed to pick one or do them all. Thanks!
I’m a runner too. I usually follow the calendar and run 3 or 4 times a week on days where Cassey hasn’t planned out a lot of cardio.
Do these workouts really help to get in shape? Cassey is athletic and enduring but her body isn’t perfect. She has a strong core … and a round tummy.
I’m sorry, but how is her tummy at all round in any way or form? And even if it was, that doesn’t mean she isn’t fit.
You’re insane, Cassey has a toned and flat stomach…
That’s just plain rude. First, if ‘athletic and enduring’ is not in shape, then I don’t know what is. Second, everyone’s ‘perfect body’ is going to be different, and normal people don’t have a perfectly flat stomach all the time. But if you insist on looking like an anorexic model then I suggest taking up the crazy diets Victoria’s Angels use to wreck themselves. Then at least we’ll be rid of your asinine comments.
how could you say that? cassey has the most perfect body.. she has the body im working to achieve, she looks fit and healthy! she has a flat, toned stomach, so i have no idea who your talking about!
Wow, Ali, way to bum everybody out! Maybe you should post a pic so we can all pass judgement on your body? What Cassey is doing is amazing and inspiring, I wouldn’t mind at all having her abs at all.
I don’t get how her tummy is at all ’round’. She has a flat stomach.
See these photos (when her stomach isn’t being puffed out by a difficult ab move, which has to be why you said she has a round tummy..): http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wz-V4n3uPHc/US8OKK_L3wI/AAAAAAAAAQM/yWR-RFPWUEc/s1600/DSC_0348.jpg

And refer to this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XfFycMQWr4
Her abs are about as flat as abs can get, and she has a perfect body.
Hey Cassey!
I’m pumped to start the abtoberfest calendar!
I was wondering if the exclusive video will ever be available on YouTube for non-smartphone users.
I saw the clip for it and I’d reeeeeally like to try it out, but I don’t have a smartphone at all.
2nd this?
I love October.. For the first time, I’m going to try and follow the calendar!
Although, I have one question.. What would you do when you are having a cold? I mean, breathing is a lot harder, so working out can be a problem.
Any ideas? Thank you!
“Boys and girls of every age, wouldn’t you like to see something strange? Come with us and you will see, this our town of Halloween!”
As long as your symptoms are from the neck up, working out is okay! I actually find that it clears my congestion (albeit temporarily) when I work out with a cold
I second this! I got a cold like two days ago and couldn’t stop coughing but working out actually help me feel better 🙂 Just don’t push yourself if you’re not feeling it xo
Hey Cassey! So i’m new to the POP Pilates and I just have a few questions. I’m doing the Abtober calender and i’m also doing your 90-day meal plan starting today. So my first question is: Do I only do the videos listed out for the day one time or do I need to do them more than once? Because I read on someone’s comment somewhere that you should either work out for an hour or do the moves 15 times. SO which is it? My second question is: I like to go to the gym. So would it be okay for me to do these workouts and also go to the gym. I would be doing 30 minutes of cardio (I believe the machine is called an eliptical-that is cardio but also works your legs) and then I would be doing weight machines. And I could always concentrate the weights on whatever we are working on that day. SO would this be okay or no? And my last question is: Since I am following the 90-day meal plan, and in that plan, every day we are supposed to drink a protein shake, do I save all my working out for that time of the day when i’m supposed to drink that, or can I workout whenever and drink the shake whenever??? How will this work exactly?
Thank you for being you and for being so motivational! 🙂
You do each of the listed videos for that day once and then tick it off. I’m not Cassey but I think additional workouts would be fine so long as you don’t overdo your self! You can drink the shake whenever or just switch a few of the meals around so that you have the shake after or before you work out.
Thanks for the help Kai! Much appreciated. 🙂
Great start for October ..This is my Third Calendar and though i was not able to perform Sweatember regularly !! i hope this one goes till the end :)love u cassey !!!
Hello! I’m sorry and I know you have so much to deal with in your POP Pilates life, but I have a few questions.
I was wondering if I should do the workout videos all at once or throughout the day..I currently do one or two videos from the calender within half an hour of waking up to jumpstart my body, then I do the other videos throughout the day with a few hours inbetween. I feel like that’d keep my body working, it’s just like eating a little every few hours! Do you think that is better or worse than doing the videos all right when I wake up? Or does it not make a difference cuz either way I’m doing the same amount of work? (Although if it’s all at once, I’m gonna be dead tired by the time I’m done so that may be more work..)
Before I go to bed, I do fifty squats (should I do more? And do you have tips to do them cuz I really suck at it v.v) So that’s what I do for my exercise. I’ll start running every other night (I used to but I can never stick to a routine.) Is this enough exercise to lose weight?
I feel like I should be doing more, but I don’t want to overwork myself. I’m not new at this, and I’ve taken total body fitness classes in highschool, but nothing seems to help me lose weight. Although if I’m honest with myself, I need to fix my diet. So this month I will work on that! You motivate me so much, as with countless other people, and I cannot tell you how much I appreciate it!!
My other question is how do you get your legs so straight when you exercise? I find my legs are bent, so I lower them and make them as straight as I can then lift them up, which unfortunatly isn’t much when they’re straight..What do you do, or have you done, to make yourself flexible? I know stretching, but what specifically?
I REALLY want to do my absolute best this month, and if I get discouraged I’ll read the success stories POPsters have written and I’ll think about how much you motivate me and how much I look up to you and will eventually be able to workout like you do as long as I keep it up! Thank you very much for all your help and everything you do! <3
heyy!
you’ll lose weight if you go running and do monthly calendar! i guess its ok to do the videos separately but when you get more strenght try to do like two videos in a row etc! but you need to clean your diet too! 🙂 i think you should watch this video about how many calories you need if you want to lose weight (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUybMyx4KBM) the video has helped me with my weight loss! 🙂
you can get your legs straight by stretching them regulary. i also have the same problem i cant get my legs fully extended. i have found casseys ‘stretching for flexibility’ and ‘how to do the splits’ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmYanbqNSGA&list=PLSCcAGyv98ie1vVLwBTq4HgNMqrv3Aini) videos good for my legs! try stretching after pilates (thats what i do) but i guess you should do before and after. 😀 oh and its your hamstring what you should stretch!
you’ll find the right way to do casseys videos and healthy eating! it always takes time to create routines. do what feels best for you! =) keep up the good work! x
Thank you very much Lotta 😀 I know I, like everyone, need to take it slow at first and I think that’s my problem, I just jump into everything thinking, “Oh, I can do all this!” Then it ends up being too much and I get discouraged.
I will do those videos before and after each time I workout, thank you for the suggestions 🙂
Thank you so much, and goodluck to you too!! 😀
Need some honest answers : y m I nt losing weight while dress size is down by 1 pls? This not the ‘Plateau’ I’ve been hearing so much of???
Sometimes when you lose body fat, at the same time you gain muscle, especially if you’re working out a lot. Muscle is smaller than fat, so 1lb of muscle takes up a lot less space in your body than 1lb of fat. If you’ve gone down in your dress size, then you’ve definitely lost some body fat. I wouldn’t worry about it. If you continue to lose body fat, the scale will start to go down, but really, measuring yourself is sometimes a better indicator of fat loss than weighing yourself.
Since muscles weigh more than fat, it’s not even sure that the scale will go down that much..
Thank you, Dena and Juliane!
Casey or anyone who could reply!
If this is the first calendar that im doing would you recommend i do the beginners one or start straight with this one??
thanks need some advice for no more excuses!
I really depends on how you feel, how active you are. But I’d suggest to try the regular calendar first, you never know, maybe the beginner’s one is too easy for you 🙂 If you can’t keep up with the monthly calendar, swithch to beginner one and you’ll be ready in no time 🙂
I’m so excited for this month! I started working out two months ago but was just telling a friend over the weekend that I feel like I haven’t made any improvements with my abs. ABTOBER is exactly what I need right now. 🙂
Do you all do cardio in addition to these workouts? I know in the past in her videos she has always said do the toning videos with a little bit or cardio. Is that still the case on the calendar or is cardio already taken into consideration?? I’d apprecaite any advice!!
Thanks!
I think that it is not necessary to do any additional viodes to the ones she listed to each day unless you want to 🙂
Didn’t end up finishing the beginner’s calendar, but I’m DYING to get started on this one, so I’m ditching it, and printing the new one!
OMG! I have been dying ’cause the blogilates app is not available for android, but now… Can’t wait for the app to come for android too ! I live in Finland so it’s already pretty cold in here and it’s raining pretty much all the time. That’s why I’m even more excited because of these pop pilates videos ’cause I don’t have to feel so bad if I don’t feel like running in the rain 😉 .
Just want to confirm … no yolo days this month for food? I’m totally fine with that ’cause I’m headed to Mexico on the 2nd of Nov but just wanted to double check.
You are too good to us Cassey.
Bisous!!
I’m so exited, i just finished the beginners calendar 🙂 And now i want to kill the ABtoberfest one!
yeey, so happy – i hope the android app is comming soon, i would love it!
oxx, Katrin
Done! Yay me! 😀 This is my third calendar, but it’s the first one that I got to start on time, and hopefully the first one I’ll be able to fully complete also on time. XD I’ve decided to tweak it a bit though. I wanna workout my abs and butt on alternative days, so today, I replaced BB3 (bcoz I dont like the paper plates thingy :P) with the Bubble Butt WO. Tomorrow, I’ll be adding or replacing one vid with an ab routine.
Awaiting the blogilates android app, but I’m pretty sure I’d still always be using the calendars here. So pretty! <3 Thanks as always, Cassey. xxx
Wauuu! It looks like a very incisive ABS plan!
Thank you Cassey!
I finished the beginner’s calender just in time for the october calender! A month ago I’ll be sweating just talking about doing exercise today I finished all the videos – sweaty but happy and on my road to being happy and fit!
thank you so much cassey!!!
Hey Cassey thanks for posting I’m super excited for this month! I really like the first month’s type of calendar, the little rectangular one, instead of the list. Can you bring it back please?
Thanking the heavens that there’s only one day of POP HIIT on this calendarrrr! YAYYYYYYY!
I’m excited to see that the focus for this month is abs exercises! Those are always my favorites!
No kidding! I love HIITS afterwords. But not prior to or during. Haha!
I love the new calender!!! I am so excited about it!!!
Thank you so much, Cassey! Last month I started with the beginners calendar and it was fantastic! I feel great and can’t wait to workout in the evening. You truly are such an inspiration for me.
Yay! Yay! Cassey I’m super excited for this. I’m really pushing to succeed from the inside out. It’s super hard to get focused on yourself during senior of college but I’m going to give it all I’ve got. Plus the blogilates community is great! 😀
Loves it!!! Let’s get fierce. I’m bringing fierce back…in my abs.
Is it alright to include POP HIITs in addition to what the calendar says, or would that hurt rather than help progress?
It’s perfectly alright to add Pop HIITs, but you should have the extra time since most of them takes about almost an hour long to complete, same as the WOs for each day. I suggest doing any HIITilates vids, Food Baby or other shorter HIIT workouts instead if you dont have the time. I’ve also read before that some Popsters add Pop Cardio on their daily workouts. 🙂
I’m so excited for this! I’m getting married in exactly 6 months, I have to make sure I look great on my honeymoon. The change starts now!
Thank you so much for all of the hard work you put into this Cassey!! I love you so much! xxxx
Woohoo let’s do this!
This time of the year is DEFINITELY my favorite. Like you said, the oranges, and browns, and reds are so relaxing and they just make New York prettier _>) and I’m so ready to go beast and work my corrrreee haha My mom thinks I’m weird because I call you my personal trainer, but you really feel like a trainer to me. Someone I can yell at when a workout is particularly difficult and won’t get offended (you can’t hear me :P), someone I’ve come to admire for her strength and confidence. You’ve made me and others believe in ourselves again Cassey. And for that I thank you from the bottom of my heart <3 Keep being your awesome self Cassey, we luurve you ^_^
Love,
One Of Your "Trainees" : )
Are you coming out with a meal plan??
Hi Cassey!
you inspire me so much to take care of my body.
i never thought achieving the dream body would be possible until I chanced upon your youtube channel.
Thank you so much for all your hard work and effort to motivate your subbies to workout with you and live healthy. you make it look so much easier! 🙂
much love! 🙂
I’m excited to start the new calendar! I’ve been following the begginers calendar for one month, so I’m gonna try this one today. It’s gonna be hard!! Thanks Cassey!!! Your videos and recipes are helping me a lot to get fit, and it’s amazing how exercise can help you with your self-esteem. Greetings from Spain!!!
I have been following Blogalities for probably three years (on and off with commitment) but this is the first calendar I am going to commit to. I am going on my first beach vacation this December and it has been a huge incentive for me to not look like an blob of embarrassment.
I put together a playlist on youtube that goes through Saturday 10/5. I hope the link works
http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpr7NOO4gvGCKoDIR-SSlmNowNv8CJ33W
Thanks for setting that up and sharing!
Im trying to open the calendar to get the workouts for each day and it’s not working. How do you view and see each day’s video workout??-frustrated and confused. I got September to work fine.
I wish these required a little less ink… So excited though!! This will be my first real calendar! (I did the beginner one over summer)
so excited to sweat again :DD havent been following last months cuz of school, but now im going to KILL IT this month!!
It’s been two and a half months since I’ve done any Blogilates (Home under renovations=me with no space to do it) Sad times. Now that I have my room back and my gym membership is up, time to get back to it. I have missed it so much and I am so excited! Good luck everyone! Let’s do this! <3
I’m so excited to try this! I did the beginner’s calendar over the summer and I loved the results, but I stopped finding time once school starts. BUT, this is my birthday month! It’ll be a present to myself.
It’s my birthday month too! What a great way to treat ourselves! 🙂
Yay!! Are you supposed to do each video once or each video several times? I’ve noticed that the videos usually say to repeat x times.
If you’re doing the calendar, then no. If you’re choosing videos on your own to target a certain area or something, then yes, it’s what she recommends.
YAY! thank you so much Cassey for sending the new calendar! It’s right on time coz I live in the Philippines so my timezone is ahead of you guys.. so happy.. you are an amazing person. Thank you so much for giving so much time and effort for us popsters! love ya xoxo
Weird….The 1st thing I said when I previewed the calender on my phone was “Scary”
Her password for the month took the words straight out of my mouth ahaa 😉 xxx
my only hope is that i’ll be able to get all of these workouts done each day in the early morning before school. if i put them off for later in the day, they won’t get done. #challengeaccepted
HIIT is only on 31st of October? YAY!!!!!!!!!! XD
please help me!!! where is the playlist with alli tha videos???
The playlists are only available for October 1st and 2nd right now. She’ll release more as the days approach.
I was redoing the beginners calendar with a friend, but she quit…. But I’m super excited to be getting back to the regular calendars! This month looks AMAZING. Especially because I’ve been really bad about eating clean. 🙂 Time to whip this booty into shape!
Omg I’m so exciteeeeed! Woohoo bring it on Cassey!!
Oh my gosh, the 23rd 😮
Am I the only one super scared? Anyway, good luck everyone! <3 xoxo
Oh, I am too! Yikes!
YAY! Really ready to commit to a calendar! Did the last week of Sweatember, but really want to stay strong and follow this calendar to the T! So pumped to get in better shape and sculpt/tone my body and nourish my mind and soul!
Thanks Cassey! Much love and appreciation!
Yay! So excited for #abtoberfest ! Thanks for the calender, Cassey!
cassey is it possible to be a playlist with all the videos of each day??
I’M SOOO HAPPY! 🙂
I get to rest on my Birthday(Oct 24)!!! :):):)
me too!! (October 18th) 😀
Me too!! Same b-day 🙂
Thank you so much! This is super exciting!
What should we do instead of the Fat Incinerator Cardio if we don’t have an iphone or android?
And I’m planning on following the calendar this month, but I don’t know if I’ll be able to stick with it. I’m doing a 30 day squat challenge, a 30 day running challenge (that I made up myself to get me to be able to run for 30 minutes straight – I hope it works), and a 30 day vegan challenge (I think I might be lactose intolerant, so I’m giving my body a break for a while before I add dairy back in to make sure).
I’ll be doing either Heart on Fire Pop Cardio or Food Baby in lieu of Fat Incinerator. The Fat Melting Routine or Pop Kicks Total Body are also good choices. Your 30min. running challenge would be great as well! 🙂
The write up on the site you buy the workout on makes it sound like you don’t need a device.
Cassey,are you sure about the 23th October ? Isn’t that way too much ? I do not think that someone will be in contidion to really do that…
I think, if it’s too much for you.. you can just pick and choose to do it or not..
Omg I agree haha! Dreading that dayyyy!!!
Hi, I’m excited to start this calendar! I’m wondering though, if its sufficient to just do the workouts listed each day, or should I still do my weight machine routine? I’m overweight and do the usual legs one day, arms the next, and alternate as such.
Soo glad this month we don’t have to do any of the Pop HIIT printables. I prefer to follow along with videos especially since I loose track of counting reps easily. Also glad there are more relax days with some being on the weekend, I needed a good weekend day off from all kinds of work. Thanks Cassey!
agree!! i skipped all the printables and di something else. maybe I’m lazy, but I rather follow videos; plus, cassey is a good company 🙂
So excited for ABTOBER! Especially since the main focus is abs! ;D Thanks so much Cassey! This month, I’m really committing to it and I know I’ll see results by the end of this month! This is my month! Good luck to everyone, I know we can do it! 😀 <3 xx
