Am I the only one that couldn't do 90% of these?😅
Absolutely no 😂
I couldn't either don't worry lol XD
I'm a gymnast and I can do most of them 👍
Zodiac the first one i felt nothing..
***** me too!
when you can't even get your legs straight haha
Lol yeah that's basically me. When she said to extend the leg I tried and immediately was like, oh hell no:P
I feel you
= me

Olivia ♡ Me!😂
When your knees won't go straight 😂
When she does all this streching she doesnt feel it?!😂
Shes all like: 🙂👌🏻💁🏼
Im like:😭😣😩😱
During school if would be great if you could post videos that help decrease stress!!!
YES!! This would be extremely, extremely helpful! I have had a problem with both and definitely need some help to deal with them. Thanks😊
Adriene Michelle Perfect idea!!
lol I just saw this girl doing a flexibility split
Adriene Michelle I
Adriene Michelle 😎
Would be nice to have a series for those of us who are really stiff as planks, with very short muscles all over the backside: and we are youngsters too, not just old biddies. This is totally, utterly undoable.
Ikr I'm one of the most inflexible people ever 😂
Definitely! I can't even sit with my legs crossed like she did before she even began stretching!
Same, as a footballplayer my muscles is very short and they are a huge issue even in her ordinary workout videos
I am soo inflexible
Damsel289 I agree. Also, the "Journey to splits" moves may be effective for someone who already has a certain degree of flexibility. Many other people, including me, need a 30 day program just to be able to do the moves 1-5! I was hoping this video would address the issue with a more gradual approach. It's not just a matter of committment: I tried to follow the plan and the only result was that I injured my hamstrings. And yes, I did warm up before.
when i lay down i cant even lift my legs to 90 degrees :(((
Basak A same. but we'll get there! :D
Keep stretching and then you will be super flexible!
+Basak A hala aynı mı Başak? :) çünkü benim de öyle şuan XD
Don’t feel bad, I can’t even stretch my leg to 45° 😂😭
Basak A same u ain’t the only one girl
I have really long legs so I can't even reach my foot when I'm lying on my back
same here ugh
Same...
It's not about height it's about flexibility :D
Eve Sky yeah I'm 5'8 and my legs are super long and I cldnt at first but now I can lay flat on my back it's equivalent to a straight Scorpion
Eve Sky I have really long legs too, but it's about how flexible you are. Trust me :p
You know what? I surprise myself!!! I'm a straight guy but that's not the case, the case is I'm a little overweight but I can do these stretches which feel soooooo good!!!!! Thanks Cassey your the best
Ihsan Deeb great!
Ihsan what does being straight have to do with this anyone can be flexible i started off taekwando tight as a mofo and ended up being able to do a split flexiblity has nothing to do with being straight it has to mental and physical patience and no egos
Sycothic Azzazzin Maybe he didn't want to be viewed as homosexual for doing an exercise other than weightlifting or MMA or certain sports. Who knows why. It doesn't matter about your sex, race, religion, orientation, etc whether or not you can exercise or be flexible.
+Ihsan Deeb As a straight guy, myself, I also love these. I used to do martial arts when younger and could do the splits - now I can't get close to these positions but I think +blogilates is an awesome way for anyone to get into shape (and I've only done the exercises in 2 videos so far, but already feeling really good from it)
thats great :)
06☺️26💖2020 you have made Friday the most beautiful day of the week !!🌺💕
I taught myself how to do the splits and it's feels amazing when you finally get it but I like searching up streches so I can get better at other moves that require flexibility and balance
it
THATS AWESOME!
+Graceful Gamer thankyou
+Jessy Fermill thanks
+Graceful Gamer YASSS I GOT MY SPILTS TODAY!!
please do a back flexibility video!
Could someone please explain why the first one is absolutly no problem to me but the others are absolute Horror?
Because some people have naturally open hips and some don't
I have naturally open hips, but I also do gymnastics so I am already flexible :)
The first one is for the hips (which yours are likely flexible/open), the rest are for the hamstrings/groin area (which yours is/are likely tighter).
im a dancer and I always do these stretches before competition and I definitely recommend it to others !
I love your leggings! Where did you get them from?
Heather Goldman Agreed! Love the leggings ♥
Heather Goldman teeki!
+blogilates i can't do it
beautiful outfit and postures. Cassey, where did you get the leggings?
+Karine Stuff it's ok it didn't take me long to do the standing splits all you have to do is go into the wall splits while holding on to something and try to grab your leg
I did this and I dreamt I could do splits but when I woke up, my happiness just ran away
DONT WORRY THAT HAPPEN TO ME. AND I HATE IT
+ellyuploads it takes time
it really does it took me 3 months on good leg but #gymnast but bad leg..... lets just say going on 4 years
Omg I had a dream I could do a run-off with backhand springs 😭😭😭 but than I woke up ;((((
Sophie Rose I mean round off
I've got about 5cm to get my split 😝😝
MAY VEVO I got my split !!!!!
omg congrats!!! :D
i got my split
*I hAtE sNaKeU* same
What if we can't touch our toes
Me...
bean hall you could try reaching for your ankles instead
+bean hall or use a towel like she said :)
Love it, I am also preparing a stretching video for my channel
Dakidissa S. S
Cassey you look especially beautiful in this video! I would just like to thank you for all youve done for me. Youve honestly changed my life for the better and i cant thank you enough. I know lots of people dont exactly agree with what you do or eat but i think its perfect. Thank you so so so much! :)
Rose_0616 If YOU KNOW HOW TO DO THE SPLITS:you can do nearly every flexibility challenge and impress ur friends
I used to be a dancer but I recently quit, I was soooo flexible. I don't want to lose it because I worked so hard to get to where I was. I seriously miss dancing :((
Why did you quit if you want to do it
This makes me feel so frustrated... I cannot even sit with my legs straight (and I am not overweight) ...
me neither i guess we just have to keep trying ☺
YEA I KEEP PRACTICING THIS FOR 3 WEEKS AND I DID IT!
Really? Did you do it daily? :o
Congratulations! :)
+Camila López you have towarm up and slow down you wont get it at first
I have been doing this for a month at least, and I am starting to see the results :) !
awesome! bendy back for next month?
Happy New Year!!! Jan 1st of 2016 calendar, anyone? :D
Me!
Meeee!!
+SakuraSelisa ME !!
Me too 😀🎆
me!
June 18,I feel like this was my first time doing standing split and I was struggling so bad with my balance ( or may be today is not my day , we'll try this again😅)
Cassey, thanks to you, I'm NEARLY DOING THE SPLITS OMG YAY I FEEL IT COMING. I FEEEELLLL ITTTTTT
It actually works!- I can do splits now and the leg hold thankyou!
7/10/2020
Nope can't do the standing splits lol
You're almost to 2.5 Million subscribers! cheers to spreading love and pain! ;)
I'm 14 and I'm NOT flexible AT ALL but I wanna be and I'm ready to work hard. I just wanted to know, will this video help me????
I would recommend going on a channel called contortion kk look at her tutorial for a beginner splits, her stretches are very helpful and I put the majority of them into a stretching routine I made up myself, these will help you but I highly recommend her video considering she is 13, her videos help a lot so head over there ! I've got so much closer to my splits by doing the stretches in her video
+FUN OVERLOADED yes im 14 and i can do the splits thanks to this video!!
it will know if u try it! and practice everyday.
To help with your splits, try doing over splits on your couch to another couch or something high up. Because the weight of your upper body presses down, and it helps your splits get better.
+Lailah Carson great advice
6:33 T_T HOW? it's too hard
The LAST video....but....but....but why 😢😢, it was really awesome though, just like my instructor.. 😄😊
I almost can't even reach my feet! I also struggle a lot with my knees and hips, which almost always makes me give up. Can you make a video starting of a little easier??
I usually sit like that, but I'm not flexible wtf
Luisa Regina It's possible that some of your muscles are loose and flexible from the beginning, but others are super tight at the same time.
can you do a tutorial on how to do a scorpion????
Do you want the cheerleading scorpion or the yoga scorpion? They are two different things. But both require a flexible back. There are a ton of videos on the cheerleading scorpion. But having the splits is beneficial to getting a scorpion. :)
+Summer eight OMG I LUV GABI BUTLER SHE HELPED ME DO MY SCORPION TOO 😄😃😀
+patziok? You do understand that a SCORPION is 70% back flexibility 20% shoulder flexibility 10% leg flexibility and yes i have a scorpion and yes i have all my splits and you obviously are not a good gymnast nor a good person😘
+patziok? A scorpion is like a needle, but the leg thats up is bent a little. (:
Wtf???? If I was able to do a split already I wouldnt click this video. This is impossible for unflexible people!!
+Rachel Laansma Just keep doing the stretches and keep trying, if you do that then eventually you will be able to do the splits.
+Rachel Laansma I know it's frustrating when you're just starting, but, honestly, just keep trying. Last summer I couldn't even sit on my knees properly. Now that I'm focusing on my flexibility though, just last week I let go of my fear and realized that I was able to do the split with Cassey at the end. Do the beginner variations to the best of your ability and you will get better. Just keep trying.
To be honest, it's not really supposed to be hard for non flexible people. She constantly says " Ow " Towards the middle and end of the video. You need to push yourself to get there even if you feel it
Yes you need to push yourself, but not too hard because then you could tear or pull a muscle.
ok but honestly i cant even straighten my leg up when i lay on my back this is horrible lmao
Same! It's kind of a struggle when I'm doing ab excercises and she says you can bend your knees if it's hard, and I literally don't have any other choice haha
yes exactly omg
+Heavenly Velvet Soo true
Gosh these stretches are so hard for me, but I'm looking forward to improving on my leg flexibility. Thanks Cassey!
Why can I do the first one so easy and the rest is difficult for me? 1:00 I mean I could touch the floor with my head and I feel nothing but I can't stretch my legs....how does that come? (English is not my mother language, sorry if it's bad)
Same !!!! Exactly ! I think it may be because we are really flexible on one part of our legs but useless at the rest !i feel you !
Thank you. I guess we have to train more the flexibility of the other part.
+Some_TH-camr I think that is because for that stretch it isn't important to have flexible legs, it is to open your hips. So if you have naturally really open or wide hips, this won't be a problem for you. For me it is the other way around, my legs are quite flexible so the rest of the moves were nnot as bad, but I really struggled with the first one because my hips are naturally very narrow. It just depends on your body type! Just keep practicing! :)
muesliliebhaberin but I have narrow hips too. I'm petite. Skinny, small and narrow. ^^
+Some_TH-camr I guess your hips can be narrow and naturally open? Like I said, it depends on everyone's individual body :)
I've been doing this video EVERY TIME after my workout. It's just an amazing video to stretch and cool off from. I also want to get into the standing splits because it's so pretty and cool.
6:43 legit almost broke my hip
IM TOO TALL FOR THESE!! For the ones that we had to grab our foot and pull your leg up, I couldn’t keep my foot in my hand because my leg extends out so far 😅
Almost half a lifetime ago, I could do the splits on command. This was a great video to help me get back to that old flexibility- cause I miss it! Thanks again, Cassey and team! Love all of the hard work that goes into these videos and playlists! c:
I have to do this split one day! I'll do it! But maybe after year if I won't give up.
Well ur gonna go through alot of pain! But don't give up tho! *sigh* it's been five years since I started stretching and most ppl expect me to be super flexible but I can only get my side splits,no centre splits. 😶
Madzia Matusiak that's ok just keep stretching your hips you'll get the middles
Day 1 on the January workout calendar! Here we go are you guys ready???
8/28/2020
I can ALMOST do a side split.
And i cant do a standing split. That wasnt happening 😂
💕09❤️25💕2022❤️💕❤️
6/18/21
Not a great standing splitter.. would seem like its easier than on the ground but it's definitely not lol
10/2/2020
☺💕
Please do a back flexiblity video!!!
You should do an upper body workout.😊
UGH I WILL NEVER BE FLEXIBLE. I CANT EVEN GET MY FEET RIGHT FOR THE 1ST POSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
06 🥰18 💕2021 😀
wow! thank you i have been doing this and i got more flexible i love your videos keep up the flexibility!
Oct 2nd Done 💯
I felt like this did not make sense on a beginners calendar. especially given that no modifications were demonstrated. I couldn't even get close to what she was doing almost the whole time and it isn't clear what modification will give mean I was still stretching the targeted area or muscle. I ended up just really frustrated. I feel like I have experienced this with all the stretching videos on the calendar so far. which is weird because for the other types of videos she does a really good job explaining modifications and making it beginner friendly (at least for a significant number of the excersises)
10🖐️02🌺2020
since i did ballet 9 years ago then joined the cheerdance squad at my school i can do splits, bends and stuffs that required flexibility...BUT FOR SOME REASON IT SO HARD FOR ME TO REACH MY TOES like wth...
i wasnt able to get my legs straight or get anywhere near touching my toes for years and years after i quit gymnastics, but after doing this for a week, i've been able to again! Thank you so much i'm so happy honestly *______*
Watching this video all the way through, just to stare at the leggings😍😍
Oh my god! I didn't think I would actually get into the splits, since some of the stretches for #journeytosplits were difficult, but OMGOMGOMG I ACTUALLY DID IT! Thank you so much!!!!!!!!
I've only been doing pilates and yoga but I did this video today and realized I'm so close to the splits!!!
This was very hard for me and its depressing... I'm 13 years old and tbh I think I should be more flexible than I am now... Its just my left leg I can't even stretch and touch my toes ( I can with my right) and I ended up giving up halfway into the video 😔
I am exactly the same, can't do anything with my left foot, soo inflexible, and with my right leg I can only do half the stuff she does
***** thank you so much I'll keep trying
I'm 16 & I can't do half of these either! LOL. But since you are younger, now would be the best time to start, since you have more energy & it'll also be easier to work on muscles & flexibility. Just need some patience and perseverance! :)
Honestly dont worry about it, everyone's different as long as you do your best is all that matters x
I am 15 and naturally inflexible. I wanted to improve my flexibility for dance, but I was discouraged that I wasn't making progress as quickly as other people. I have now been stretching everyday for a few months, and I can almost do the splits! It takes a lot longer for some people, but if you are patient your flexibility will improve! :)
i started doing the exercises from your videos 6 months ago when my choreographer recommended me on doing them and honestly it was the best decision, it improved my flexibility and performances so much. you are such an inspiration
The one where we stretch forward while cross-legged is a breeze. I used to take yoga classes in the evenings before I started working and I found I could do that sort of pose without a problem (in fact it decreases stress for me and I sit that way when I have anxiety attacks). However my hamstrings are atrociously unbendy. Before I took yoga I certainly couldn't touch my toes, it took a week of stretching to even be able to do that. When I try to go into the splits I can't even get close not because my groin isn't flexible enough but because I can't even straighten my leg (because my hamstrings etc etc). But I'll keep working at it.
Casey: i’m going to bring my leg forward and sit down into the splits
Me: ok sweetie, you go ahead - I’ll just stretch out with my front leg bent
Casey: now I’m going to show you stand up splits
Me: uhuh, I’ll just stretch out my other side with the previous stretch and watch your stand up splits
this just makes my legs more sore to where i cant pull it very far
When you start stretching you'll be sore for a while but once you get your splits your legs will be adjusted to stretching a lot
Well i know how to do the splits but i trying to get my needle
Make sure to do at least a short cardio warm-up before hand (I just do starjumps) and keep moving afterwards to prevent injury x
28th August 2020🧘♀️
please make a Video about getting the middle splits
That straddle stretch helps. Also lay on your back and stretch your legs out into a straddle while laying on your back so gravity can help pull legs out. Once you get close to the middle splits, start pulling through after your straddle stretch. This is where you grip the floor and pull your body forward from the straddle stretch until your laying on your stomach with your legs together behind you.
Thanks for the video! The thing about the splits is that they are REALLY hard to maintain and you have to stretch every single day.. Especially as you get older you flexibility decreases... Thank you I'll use these stretches to maintain my splits!
Had to take my hair down in the middle of this video so I could use my rubber band to hold my big toe. XD
I have wanted to become more flexible so I have started stretching for 15-20 minutes a day. I started about 4 days ago and I can already feel the difference. Before I did the butterflyand I couldn't come so long way down. When I stretched today I could reach very far and come very close to the floor. I was really hoping to see a flexibility video and it came 😂
I am going to start dance so I really want to become more flexible 😂
I'm legit crying from how painful this was
With this vifeo i get more flexible.
Will this video video help me get to poses like the scorpion or make me able to lift my leg higher (so close i can kick my self in the face with my knee and have a straight-up leg?) :D
Yeah they should especially for a scorpion
lol
I love everything else, but can you do both legs to make a balance please? I do not want to stop the videos because your voice is sweet! Thank you!!
She's so beautiful.. Her body is beautiful, her face, her hair. her eyes... Respect!
I love your videos, Cassey!! They keep me motivated during my pilates journey! Love you most !! ^_^
Most these are NOT beginners... :/
yea,but just try them as best as you can and keep doing them and you'll get there
+Jasmine Hidalgo But it is hard if your not really too too flexible... I mean on some of them you would have to be a LITTLE more flexible. (Mostly for the straight leg back bend because it is pretty hard to keep a straight leg and bend it backwards to your face while STRAIGHT....)
it's been such a lomg time i forgot about this video xD
ThinISCONFIDENCE TolookGoodInANYTHING U WEAR i like your username
and your picture
July 2 🌞 2023🌺hard to finish the $1000 list😂😁👌💋🥰💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲
It took me one day to get this standing split. But I understand for some people it may take longer time😝
so what, do you feel better bringing the rest of us down
+virgismar I wasn't being mean so u should be mean...
+Jennifer Schneiter I think you were a little mean
There really wasn't a purpose for your comment if you weren't trying to show off
Good job!
this video was so fun! i finally did the splits with my left leg in front earlier this month. and i got really close with my right leg this time :)
+mercy nicole finished with both sides this time!
Cassey I love you your videos are great! 1 thing for that japana stretch - I'd let people know to make sure their legs are turned out and up for the whole time they're stretching down so they can get a better stretch - a lot of people don't realise they're rolling in unless it's pointed out to them!
Oh my Good God, those pants!!!! Wow, I almost never want to buy anything new, yet I find myself "needing" them. Hmm... Well, they ARE the coolest stretch pants ever so, I'll forgive myself.
This was a great one! Can you also do a tutorial for the middle splits? I've been struggling trying to do the middle split forever.
hey cassie ! :)
my hamstrings are always so tight, and when im streching it hurts, even whn im streching just a bit, they never been so tight and sore.. i even take a week rest from streching, or two weeks but then they just become unflexible at all ! what should i do?
So i started my swimsuit series on the first day of june right, my weight was back then 115 a month later i weighed 99.8 and im very happy cause i stayed on a diet for that long i had toned thighs and arms but when my mom found out she literally thought i was getting bullied for wanting to loose weight so now she forcing me to eat junk food to gain it back. I weighed 107.i have the worst support! i hav 2 months left of summer so im literally exercising in my room drinking lemon water and eating chicken with veggies(carrots and cucumbers) its been only a week sinced i started this so i lost 3 lbs *im eating healthy daily so i dont binge eat * 😁😁😁😁😁
I have been doing these stretches for about 2 weeks now and I am getting deeper in the splits wow I feel so proud of myself ....
Wow, this really helped me get better with my splits. I haven't been stretching for them in years and now i'm interested again. I've been working hard, searched videos but none really helped. Until today TYVM
Thanks so much for this I'm like well 10-12yr old and this help me relax my body the first time you got to the split part it really hurt so I couldn't do it fully I will watch this vid for 8 more days cause the first time helped me soo much if you respond to this can I do it because I dont know if being chubby makes it so you cant?🥳👌
YAAAAS im like SOOOOO close to getting the standing split thing, this is like my 3rd month stretching i can do an elbow bridge normal bridge and knee bridge aready and a split thank uuu sooo much
I have almost no flexibility whatsoever. Moves that should be easy are torture. I've had this problem my whole life even when I did ballet. I hope I can stick with this and gain just a little bit of flexibility. I'm not even hoping for splits yet.
Omg your leggins are so beautiful!💕can't wait to do this tomorrow
I simply loved this video! Its amazing how much progress I have made over the past year! Thank you Cassey!
OMG I DID MY SPLITS YASS. Ok i really was a inch off of the ground does that still count
When I try to do the splits my back leg is always bent, what should I do ? Please help me
Actually This Is Not Helpful For Me!! It Is Hard!!! I Quit I Give Up. Bye.
Does anyone know where she got her palm tree leggings?! They are BEAUTIFUL!! Thanks!
A very good stretch!:)
I did this last night and felt amazing! Thank you! I have such low flexibility in my legs and lower back but I will do these often!
