i love how real you are about your struggles + hard work. it shows that being fit and reaching goals is truly a constant effort. thanks for showing us a positive example of what it means to be strong and healthy!
I love your contagious passion for fitness! Also, you make sure that you prioritize fitness over skinniness, and as someone who's battled with anorexic tendencies, I cannot tell you how much that inspires me to celebrate my body and not hate it. I may not have a weight loss story, but I am on a fitness journey! Thank you for going against the flow Cassey and embracing your body! You are a fitness superhero, saving people around the globe, not only from flab, but unhealthy body image. Thank you.
I totally understand your struggle with pull-ups! I'm still working on my goals of at least 30 minutes of exercise every day and getting through your videos without stopping. I'm rooting for you!!
Hey Cassey, I'm not from the US, but I wanted to tell you that you are an inspiration! I gave birth last summer and started training after over a year of doing nothing. I wasn't motivated at all and was kind of lost not knowing where to start. Then a couple of days ago, I found your blog + videos + jaNEWary calendar. MAN I'm a glad I found you! You keep me motivated and I actually look forward to my daily workouts! THANK YOU and keep the videos coming :)
My goal was to get into a routine of working out everyday for at least 30 minutes. The majority of my workouts do come from your videos Cassey, so I just wanted to say THANK YOU! I love your positive energy and listening to you talk throughout a workout makes it less dull and boring :) In regards to how I'm doing with my goal--there was a day or two where I forgot to workout in the beginning, but I've been sticking to the goal lately. Thanks for checking in, Cassey!
I started doing your videos a few months ago and already I feel stronger. I really love them, and I love how your always so encouraging during your videos and how you always seem to know when i’m about to give up and then your like ‘Keep Going, Dont Give Up!’ :)
One year ago,I thought I would never be able to do anything related to being fit. I thought 20 squats were hard and would get sore after doing them. Now, I can do so much more! all thanks to you Cassey.You are the reason I started my fitness journey and you are the reason why I'm never going to stop. The videos you make were my first step to becoming fit! They showed me that working out at home is also possible. I honestly want to progress to make my own videos someday.Thank you for everything:)
I absolutely love your videos! Never have I been more energetic and pumped to start my workout. The best part is they are so simple and short yet affective and I can fit them in easily into my busy schedule. Keep up the great work inspiring everyone one their journey to a healthy lifestyle!
Of all the fitness instructors Ive watched, youre the only one that got my attention because you are cheery, very lively and sweet. Your videos are never boring and are always cute. Hope ull continue to inspire us with ur enthusiasm.Its contagious. Go cassey!
Cassey I'm so excited to tell you that I'm doing AWESOME on my goal to tone back up ever since winter hit and I let myself go a little. I'm loosing weight and getting tighter all around, and my ab definition is coming back slowly but surely! I can't wait to see where I'll be at the end of February! Thanks for the motivation Cassey :)
Hi Cassie! First off, I want to thank you for all that you do! You are an inspiration to us all. I've been following you for a while now but only recently did I really start making concrete plans to be healthy and putting good faith effort into your workouts. So, to answer your question...my original goal was to simply start, which was probably the hardest part for me, considering that I was in contemplation mode for over a year! It's been tough, but with your help, I will reach my goal by 4/19!
I have not been running as much this month; I have been doing your HIIT circuits like crazy and eating clean and I feel the best that I ever have physically and mentally!! ohh and I have more energy than I ever have had in my life! I think I can run farther now, I just have to use a cardio day to do so! a million thank yous, Cassey, for your amazing and inspirational videos!
my goal was put into action a few months ago,i wanted to lose weight&followed ur 90 days challenge.actually since then i loved fitness,it was hard to stick to the workouts and diet at first but i pushed myself,you and i were motivating me:)now i can't live without it. some Sundays i don't feel like resting,i do the other day's workout&find myself at night doing the day's after tomorrow workout!i think i achieved my goal,now i've a goal for life to BE FIT.i wouldn't have reached here without you♥
Cassey you're my inspiration when it comes to leading a healthy and fit lifestyle! I'm more aware of what I'm eating and I've been trying to eat clean sucessfully most of the time! Your videos are a lot of fun and your challenges are so motivating. You've saved my life! I can't do full pull-ups but I'm a quarter of the way maybe half way there!
You'll reach your goal soon! You're so positive and inspirational! I've made a goal for myself to get back into shape this year by eating clean and exercising more. I can't wait to look better on the outside and feel better on the inside by having more energy and sleeping better at night! Good luck and thanks for the motivation and inspiration!! :)
Happy to hear about your progress. I would like to do one full pull-up at the end of the year but today I reached my goal of getting below 120 & am thrilled b/c I was stuck at 122-127 forever. It's taken me almost 2 years (since my son was born) & am so happy about it. Even my clothes hang better. Looking forward to taking 5 more off before year end.
ive never really been a fan of working out or really eating healthy. but this year i came avross your blog and have since signed up for your email subscription and so your workout videos on teh reg. youre such a moivation person to workout to and thank you now i enjoy wokring out because youre so positive and uplifting i love it. i plan on keepin it up and incorporating more clean eating into my life as well as exercise!
Congrats Cassie!! I am still working on my goal of toning up my body. I just joined the gym back at school so that should help me. Each day I feel myself getting stronger and stronger. Thanks for the motivation Cassie!
Hi Cassey you are an inspiration! My original goal was to start exercising 2 times a week but so far i have exceeded my goal and i have been exercising 3 times a week! I can already tell that my goal is paying off from compliments i have gotten. Thank you so much for helping me achieve my goal. I have now changed my goal to exercising 4 times a week to keep striving for a better and healthier body!!!!! Thank you!!! You are AWESOME!!!! Love you!!!
You are so inspiring! I started jaNEWary and it is a NEW me because I lost 7 pounds already from 142 lbs to 135 lbs! I'm so proud of me and everything is because of you! I got trough the hardest videos (it was the lolo jones and the 1000 workout for me) and I changed my diet! Being healthy and a popster changed my life! Thank you so much Cassey!!
Thank you for being such an inspiration! You always work and work until you get to where you're wanting to be, and not a lot of people can say that! Keep going Cassey! You CAN do those 5 ALL THE WAY UP!
My goal, ever since I could remember, has been to have a healthy lifestyle. Meaning eating clean,pushing my body beyond what I thought I was capable of doing, and being happier.But the problem was, was that I would always do good for about a week, and then give up. I did that for about three years. This new years, I made a resolution to turn myself around, inside and out, and I found your blog and its changed my life..your such an inspitation and Im so thankful for everything you do xoxoxo
I adore your videos and they inspire me to keep working towards my goals! I've been exercising regularly and eating clean, but whenever I get off track my goal is to pick myself back up again just like you say!
Thank you for the positive encouragement! I have cleaned up my eating dramatically since I posted my goal. :) I feel so much better and energetic, and lighter/freer. I ate clean last year, but winter rolled around, I turned to comfort foods/not-so-good-for-you-foods (I didn't gain weight... just felt weighed down and tired). Now, I'm back on track. Also, I started training insane again 2 weeks ago. Love the results. Thanks Cassey!
I'm so proud of you Cassie! You are so inspirational! I love how you only want to push yourself past the limits and that you only strive to better yourself and those around you! :) You make me smile!
Trying to stay fit while working full-time and being a newlywed is my goal. And trying to stay away from that newlywed 15!!! I definitely have fallen of the band wagon sometimes. However thanks to blogilates (all the TH-cam videos, the at home DVD, the ffood plans, and positive feedback) I have gotten back on track to be happy, healthy, and active! I love love love! Blogilates I have told so many people about you cassy! Thanks for being you and helping so many people achieve their goals!
I am loving your daily workouts, tweets, pics, and all your encouragement! My goal was to lose 35 pounds by the end of February, and so far I am 15lbs down. I am working hard and following your example to accomplish my goal. My new life motto, thanks to you, is training insane to not remain the same. My journey started in September at 280lbs and am at 211lbs today! 69lbs down feels AMAZING!!!! to say! Thank you again for all your encouragement and tips!
I'm not overweight right now, but I've needed toning and an exercise program for a while. I stumbled across your videos and within a week, I was AMAZED. Thanks so much for all that you do.
I totally understand your problem. A few months ago I tried to learn push-ups and I got it! Now I'm doing the same thing as you but I cannot do a single pull-up on my own. I'm proud of you, because you learned them already. I'm going to train a lot to do pull-ups too! I love you Cassey! ♥
My goal since finding your videos during my pregnancy last year has been to lose the baby weight!! I'm 9 pounds away from that goal and I've set so many more personal goals for myself that we're inspired by you. All my friends ask what I'm doing to lose the weight and I always tell the to check out Blogilates. I even hit my aunt into it and she has MS and loves your stretching videos and your positive attitude!! You make everyone feel welcomed and like their goals are attainable. Thank you.
Its been a week and a half and I've already lost five pounds ! My goal is to lose 15 , Your channel, your instagram everything has inspired me , and I've even been able to get my mom's support on eating healthy by showing her the easy delicious recipes you put out for us ! Thank you so much Cassey :)
I am happy to announce that my goal of running a holiday half marathon was a success! I ran the Thanksgiving half in Atlanta and PRed by 7 minutes! Another goal I had was to increase my arm strength like you and I am happy to report that I can do 1 set of 12 reps of each of the basic free weight movements using 5 pound weights. I am going to try blast straps in a week and that is adding to my arm strength goal too! Thank you so much for being such a positive person and motivator!
I am working on eliminating the little bit of stubborn fat that I've been giving the evil eye for the past couple years.. And I feel so much better since I've started eating clean and doing your workout videos! Thank you so much Cassey!
My goal is to get back into cardio shape! I had heart problems for a couple of months and a heart procedure done, so I wasn't able to be in the gym for some time. It is my goal to be able to run for 30 minutes straight, as I used to run every day before my heart problems. I hope to be able to do this by the end of February! Thank you so much for showing us your struggles and goals! It gives me much more motivation to know that setting goals never ends. GOOD LUCK ON YOUR PULLUPS!
Also, the community you've built for us is the greatest thing in the world. We have such a positive community and that makes all the difference in any journey in life. Positivity and support! Love my fellow POPsters near and far!! May you all reach your goals and continue to raise the bar for yourselves. Xoxo
My goal was to continue working out at least 4 days a week on my 6-week break between semesters (I have access to a gym at school, but not at home, and am more tempted to skip workouts without all of my fit friends at school to motivate me). I am proud to say that I have achieved my goal! Thanks, Cassey, for your enthusiasm and encouraging words!
You are so inspiring! It's so hard to take the first step in overcoming the fear to achieve your goals. I'll be honest, I'm still working towards taking that step but I feel Im getting closer every day.
Wooh! way to go Cassey! You're an inspiration:) You're ideas of balanced and healthy living have truly helped me get in shape and find balance in my life. Thank you so much for taking the time to make workout videos and blog posts:)
I love your POPpilates workouts and love your workout calendars BUT I used to wimp out in the middle of sets ( the burning, it kills me) I really wanted to be able to press through and do all the sets like a beast in each video. AND now I can *yay*. But I haven't been able to complete all the calendar workout videos for the day in one go yet (I split it up between am/pm). So that is my new goal! To complete a full hour of blogilates workout videos at one time! "Nothing Will Stop Me!!!"
(another continuation!) heart as of late and I really think I could do a lot of good for others through nutrition! Combining that with a desire to help the less fortunate who are hungry, and possibly even going overseas for missions and to provide food for people who don't have any, as well as my new healthy lifestyle, I am ridiculously excited for the future and all that it holds! I thank you, Cassey, for helping me to change my life and inspiring so many exciting things in my life!
I am a busy full-time nursing student working two part-time job, and my goal is to lose 12 lbs. Although 12 lbs is the goal, I really just want to feel confident in my skin and be healthy. With my busy schedule, your energy, daily encouraging posts and quick videos have kept me on track. I've lost 3 lbs and am more dedicated now than ever to get to my goal...thank you Cassey!
Working out daily with yoga & exercise 6x a week, encouraging others & encouraging myself. This month started the beginners Pilates workout - new workout. Also healthier choices on food, count calories & healthier desserts - smoothies & such.
noticed that working out each night helps with my RA. My joints don't swell up as much as it usually does when I don't workout. I want to thank you for teaching me the cobra push up, because my wrist can't handle the real push ups. I hope in the future you will make a video dedicated to what exercises RA patiences should do, I just love your energy so much. Thank you for the videos, they're so lively!
Cassey! Love you soooo much! Pull-ups are something I also personally struggle with! They are the bane of my existence! I've been doing them with one of those heavy duty big green stretch bands attached to the pull-up bar to give me a little assist! Since starting to do that along with you and your challenge I can do 3 full pull-ups! 5 is a great and achievable goal for BOTH of us! You're already almost there!!!! I'm working hard right along with you! WE CAN DO THIS!
My goal is to lose weight and to start living a healthy lifestyle. So far i've been trying so hard to exercise and eat cleaner. I started last September and i remember not being able to do a full video and now i can!!! I can now do more cardio, I feel better on the inside and on the outside. I love love love! all of your videos and thank you so much for being an inspiration!
My goal is to follow your calendar everyday!! x) The way I keep myself motivated is that even if I don't see immediate fantastic results, I love the energy, the fun, and the amount of exercise I get done. And that's already enough for me!!
My goal is to get through your hour long Pilates DVD workout.. 30 minutes in and my abs are crying. I have been doing Pilates for about 2 years off and on (when I have time), but your DVD Pilates workout challenges me beyond any other Pilates workouts that I have done. I will get through the whole hour soon!! Love you Cassey!
Yayyyy Cassey! I love reaching goals. My goal is to be consistent with workouts, especially as the semester begins. So far I've been doing great and consistently working for approximately 1 hr which is super exciting! I think as the semester kicks off I'll settle into a routine because things look positive so far :)
Love this!!! I have been working on decreasing my mile times, and trying to work up to 5 miles, so I can do a race in May! I have only done a 5k, so this is a challenge for me to keep going when I just want to get off the treadmill! I have made it to about 4 to 4.5miles, and know I can add that extra mile in by this weekend! Thanks for the inspiration!
Started slimming down for spring and summer...realized it takes months to do it the healthy way and its a lifestyle change to be healither :) you make the process fun and its inspiring!
I need to work on my pull ups also, but you're doing so good! My original goal has two parts: Mentally- to accept my body and love it and be confident in it no matter what. Physically- to treat my body good and work on burning my fat percentage down. Thanks for being so positive and encouraging Cassey!
My goal is to be healthier overall (eat healthier, exercise more, etc.). It has been slow going because I have a huge sweet tooth. Your videos and positive energy have been great motivators. I just have to keep reminding myself that it will all be worth it when I reach my goal and this really helps! Thanks for your inspiration!
My goal is to be prepared for my upcoming track season! I feel like I am staying on track thanks you motivating me and your videos! I had a stress fracture which ended my cross country season so it would be awesome to feel confident for this season! I love doing your workouts everyday, TRAINING LIKE A BEAST :) Love your videos cassey, thank you so much!
Cassey, your videos are so fun and great! My roommate and I just started doing your videos, and our two goals are to: 1) run a half marathon together at the end of April, and 2) get through your videos without quitting!! Today we got closer to achieving both of those goals, and you've been an inspiration for us to keep going. Thanks!!
love your videos cassey! they really made me want to live a healthy life style. every day i get home from school i make sure i can have time to do at least one of your videos, and i have each of your work out calenders bookmarked :) it's really helped me out, thank you so much cassey!
I just started watching ur videos but in that short period of time, I was totally hooked! Ive never been this motivated and Im pretty sure I'll be able to do this with all ur help Cassey! :)
I've struggled with an eating disorder and unhealthy eating my whole life so (with your inspiration) my goal was going to not only lose weight, but lose body fat still getting stronger and being happy. How much have i lost? I can't be positive because I've gained muscle and not only look but feel so much stronger! I've lost approximately 3 percent body fat and I am starting to see definition in my arms and abs. I am truly proud of my body. I'm healthy and most importantly, I'm happy. Thank you.
It's so true, in anything you should set your goals (un)realistically high. You'll push yourself harder knowing how amazing some final outcome will be. I use the same theory when im thinkingabout my career goals (bet you didn't know the next Christiane Amanpour was commenting on your TH-cam video), in health goals, fitness, etc. When you think of placing yourself at the end of your goal, it's like thinking back to the present is just the story of how you got there.
amazing job!! you are such an inspiration to me. My family are very critical of me because in our culture (Colombian) they pride themselves a lot on their beauty and I'm a bit....pudgy. So thank you so much for inspiring me to work out every night in my dorm room! You are doing an AMAZING job and this video shows me that you are learning and strengthening just like us. Keep it up!!! You can do it!
Its been two months since I decided that IM GONNA DO IT. My family and friends are starting to notice my progress already!! I sed your videos to jumpstart my diet and to motivate me! I am nothing but happy thanks casseeeyyyyyyy
As far as my fitness goal goes, I've been trying to stay fit by adding more cardio days. I polynesian dance two to three times a week but that is not going to get me to the weight I need to be at! I've been trying to keep up with your videos as well! Thank you for all you do Cassey! You make your videos so fun I love them.
I love being able to see you progress! My commitment was to workout more regularly, and it's going well so far! I also have been eating more veggies and less things that come in bags :)
Hi Cassey, I've only started following you for about a week now BUT strangely enough I've set myself a goal just today! In April, I have a huge dance show but I was never really proud of my dancing. NOW, I'm training my flexibility, core strength and I'm trying to loose some weight because it just looks nicer on stage and it might give me the confidence boost that I need. For now, I've already switched my soda to water and I'm training with your videos! Good luck on the pull-ups! x Naomi
First and foremost, I love your positive energy & your commitment to health & fitness. I've seen far too many online fitness personalities that are more concerned with cleavage & booty than actual fitness! You have inspired me to "get my strong on" with a pull-up challenge myself & I have been training to do 4 unassisted pull-ups by the first day of summer since Jan 11th! (I can do one already after 2 weeks!) Thanks for the inspiration and keep it coming :)
I'm doing fantastic on my goal! I started doing poppilates Jan first and felt better with every day, now i am finally eating cleaner and now the lbs are melting away, wooooohooooo!!!!! Thank you so much Cassey, I LOVE YOU!!!
I have a new year's resolution to work on my arms for strength and I'm happy to report that I've completed almost 7 months of this goal so far. Now, I haven't been exercising consistently every day, or every other day (which was my initial goal, but then I added more muscle groups to work out for a while, so I bumped it up to every day), but I have been relatively consistent and committed throughout. I have never given up on my goal. I only take a couple breaks here and there if I can't squeeze in a workout, or if I'm just too lethargic and unmotivated. Overall, I have made noticeable improvement and I plan on completing my new year's resolution!
Great job! In the past, I have spent hours and hours THINKING about working out. The classic "I will do it tomorrow." I have worked out, but not as much as I would like. And off course I have not seen any major results ;) So my goal for this year is to stop all the thinking, and start doing. I want to totally transform my body, loose 22 pounds and feel better than ever.
Hi Cassey! My original goal for the new year was to eat healthier & include some type of exercise daily, whether it be walking my dogs around the neighborhood or going to the gym...just something to get my off my butt! I've improved on making healthier eating choices & achieved my exercising goal at least 3-4 times a week! :) I just found out about your videos from a friend & have never been so excited to come home & work out! Your workouts are amazing! Cant wait to start the Feb. workouts! =D
my goal was to get a lot of upper body strength so that I can really succeed in basketball because it's my senior year and I really want to do well. I have been doing three different kinds of arm exercises every night, and I can really see the improvement!!! I've noticed that I am able to make more shots from the three point line, and overall just a better shooter! I really wanted to thank you for making me think to challenge myself, I never would have thought of this without you inspiring me!
Hi, Cassey! You are super inspirational and I've been doing your workouts for over 3 months and have seen AMAZING results! I used to run a lot about 3 years ago, but I got a knee injury and stopped. I tried running a while back and remembered my love for it, but I didn't have the strength to go on. So my goal 2 months ago was to be able to run for 1 hr & 1/2 non stop (no treadmill, outdoor!) I do more and more every time I run and I can go about 1 hr and 5 minutes now so I'm almost there! TY(((:
its nice to know you have goals too, we can relate to you better, knowing you're trying just as hard. and its doing pretty well, my abs are coming through with these hiitlates videos killing me every week haha but cant wait for my beach body
I absolutely love your enthusiasm and support. Even though it's for workout, it really inspires me to do well and excel in all areas. So thank you for being who you are (:
I begun getting healthier after some struggle with body issue and dealing with an eating disorder because I want to finally love myself. I want to not be ashamed of my body anymore. Thank you for workouts that makes me love my body more! :)
I decided I was going to start this new year out right! Eating clean and working out is going to be more of a lifestyle for me now. No more of that on and off stuff! I am proud to say I have stuck to eating clean and drinking tons of water and have been working out everyday! I FEEL AWESOME!! Can't wait to see all the changes happening to my body :)
My goal is simple but complex at the same time: feel proud of my body, and treat it with care. I've struggled for years and Casey you have helped me stay positive. Thank you
I started my weight loss "journey" at 330 lbs 4.5 months ago... I am currently at 283! I wont reach my goal of 140 by the end of February, but I do have a smaller goal of running 2.5 miles that I am VERY close to achieving! Not only do I look better, I feel tons better too! Thank you for your videos.. they help me so much!
I joined a gym this past October and have been working out since then. I don't have weight to lose, but I want to be more toned, gain strength, and a bit of muscle by the beginning of May since that's when I'm going on vacation down south! I'm very excited and hope I can actually achieve the look I want! So far my workouts are going well and I can do more at the gym, but its not physically showing yet. I'm hoping it will begin to show and come along in the next 3 months!
I started your videos and could only make it through a couple videos on each calendar day, and taking plenty of breaks in each move. Now, I can do round 1 of each cardio day, so , y next goal is being able to repeat them all for round 2! And, I am able to do everything without stopping, with the exception of Pilates days...it is still kicking my butt to do all the reps without a break in the , middle, but I'm getting there! Thanks to you!
I've never been overweight before, but one day I just realized that I would be out of breath going up a flight of stairs, or that I couldn't hold up something heavy for a normal out of time! It was then that I decided to make a very big effort to eat clean & be fit! Exercising is so fun, it's the eating clean part that's hard. But it gets easier & easier as I learn everyday.I do your workouts almost every day and they are so FUN! Thank you Cassey for helping all of us get fit and have fun :)
My current goal is so close I can taste it! On December I made a goal weight to get down to. I have been suffering with a lot of self image issues and just feeling plain ugly. I hated the way I looked and it began to make me depressed. I was even worried my boyfriend of two years was no longer attracted to me, putting a strain on our relationship. But I am proud to say I've lost 20 pounds and only have ten more to go until I reach my goal. Your videos have been such an inspiration. Thank you.

Cassey! You look so good in orange. :D
She looks good in everything tbh.
i love how real you are about your struggles + hard work. it shows that being fit and reaching goals is truly a constant effort. thanks for showing us a positive example of what it means to be strong and healthy!
I can do 5 full pull ups without working out :p
+Jassela347 Ikr. Its the jeans. I can do six.
Are you a man or a woman tho? It's harder for women to do the pull ups.
I love your contagious passion for fitness! Also, you make sure that you prioritize fitness over skinniness, and as someone who's battled with anorexic tendencies, I cannot tell you how much that inspires me to celebrate my body and not hate it. I may not have a weight loss story, but I am on a fitness journey! Thank you for going against the flow Cassey and embracing your body! You are a fitness superhero, saving people around the globe, not only from flab, but unhealthy body image. Thank you.
that's fabulous! good luck!!! go group ex instructors!!!
I totally understand your struggle with pull-ups! I'm still working on my goals of at least 30 minutes of exercise every day and getting through your videos without stopping. I'm rooting for you!!
Hey Cassey, I'm not from the US, but I wanted to tell you that you are an inspiration! I gave birth last summer and started training after over a year of doing nothing. I wasn't motivated at all and was kind of lost not knowing where to start. Then a couple of days ago, I found your blog + videos + jaNEWary calendar. MAN I'm a glad I found you! You keep me motivated and I actually look forward to my daily workouts! THANK YOU and keep the videos coming :)
i started watching/following your workouts last year. toned up, gained it back so now im back full force. love your workouts and protein pancakes!!
I'm so happy I found you!! Changing my life forever!!
My goal was to get into a routine of working out everyday for at least 30 minutes. The majority of my workouts do come from your videos Cassey, so I just wanted to say THANK YOU! I love your positive energy and listening to you talk throughout a workout makes it less dull and boring :) In regards to how I'm doing with my goal--there was a day or two where I forgot to workout in the beginning, but I've been sticking to the goal lately. Thanks for checking in, Cassey!
I started doing your videos a few months ago and already I feel stronger. I really love them, and I love how your always so encouraging during your videos and how you always seem to know when i’m about to give up and then your like ‘Keep Going, Dont Give Up!’ :)
One year ago,I thought I would never be able to do anything related to being fit. I thought 20 squats were hard and would get sore after doing them. Now, I can do so much more! all thanks to you Cassey.You are the reason I started my fitness journey and you are the reason why I'm never going to stop. The videos you make were my first step to becoming fit! They showed me that working out at home is also possible. I honestly want to progress to make my own videos someday.Thank you for everything:)
I absolutely love your videos! Never have I been more energetic and pumped to start my workout. The best part is they are so simple and short yet affective and I can fit them in easily into my busy schedule. Keep up the great work inspiring everyone one their journey to a healthy lifestyle!
Of all the fitness instructors Ive watched, youre the only one that got my attention because you are cheery, very lively and sweet. Your videos are never boring and are always cute. Hope ull continue to inspire us with ur enthusiasm.Its contagious. Go cassey!
Cassey I'm so excited to tell you that I'm doing AWESOME on my goal to tone back up ever since winter hit and I let myself go a little. I'm loosing weight and getting tighter all around, and my ab definition is coming back slowly but surely! I can't wait to see where I'll be at the end of February! Thanks for the motivation Cassey :)
Hi Cassie! First off, I want to thank you for all that you do! You are an inspiration to us all. I've been following you for a while now but only recently did I really start making concrete plans to be healthy and putting good faith effort into your workouts. So, to answer your question...my original goal was to simply start, which was probably the hardest part for me, considering that I was in contemplation mode for over a year! It's been tough, but with your help, I will reach my goal by 4/19!
I have not been running as much this month; I have been doing your HIIT circuits like crazy and eating clean and I feel the best that I ever have physically and mentally!! ohh and I have more energy than I ever have had in my life! I think I can run farther now, I just have to use a cardio day to do so! a million thank yous, Cassey, for your amazing and inspirational videos!
my goal was put into action a few months ago,i wanted to lose weight&followed ur 90 days challenge.actually since then i loved fitness,it was hard to stick to the workouts and diet at first but i pushed myself,you and i were motivating me:)now i can't live without it. some Sundays i don't feel like resting,i do the other day's workout&find myself at night doing the day's after tomorrow workout!i think i achieved my goal,now i've a goal for life to BE FIT.i wouldn't have reached here without you♥
Cassey you're my inspiration when it comes to leading a healthy and fit lifestyle! I'm more aware of what I'm eating and I've been trying to eat clean sucessfully most of the time! Your videos are a lot of fun and your challenges are so motivating. You've saved my life! I can't do full pull-ups but I'm a quarter of the way maybe half way there!
You'll reach your goal soon! You're so positive and inspirational! I've made a goal for myself to get back into shape this year by eating clean and exercising more. I can't wait to look better on the outside and feel better on the inside by having more energy and sleeping better at night! Good luck and thanks for the motivation and inspiration!! :)
Happy to hear about your progress. I would like to do one full pull-up at the end of the year but today I reached my goal of getting below 120 & am thrilled b/c I was stuck at 122-127 forever. It's taken me almost 2 years (since my son was born) & am so happy about it. Even my clothes hang better. Looking forward to taking 5 more off before year end.
ive never really been a fan of working out or really eating healthy. but this year i came avross your blog and have since signed up for your email subscription and so your workout videos on teh reg. youre such a moivation person to workout to and thank you now i enjoy wokring out because youre so positive and uplifting i love it. i plan on keepin it up and incorporating more clean eating into my life as well as exercise!
Congrats Cassie!! I am still working on my goal of toning up my body. I just joined the gym back at school so that should help me. Each day I feel myself getting stronger and stronger. Thanks for the motivation Cassie!
Hi Cassey you are an inspiration! My original goal was to start exercising 2 times a week but so far i have exceeded my goal and i have been exercising 3 times a week! I can already tell that my goal is paying off from compliments i have gotten. Thank you so much for helping me achieve my goal. I have now changed my goal to exercising 4 times a week to keep striving for a better and healthier body!!!!! Thank you!!! You are AWESOME!!!! Love you!!!
You are so inspiring! I started jaNEWary and it is a NEW me because I lost 7 pounds already from 142 lbs to 135 lbs! I'm so proud of me and everything is because of you! I got trough the hardest videos (it was the lolo jones and the 1000 workout for me) and I changed my diet! Being healthy and a popster changed my life! Thank you so much Cassey!!
Thank you for being such an inspiration! You always work and work until you get to where you're wanting to be, and not a lot of people can say that! Keep going Cassey! You CAN do those 5 ALL THE WAY UP!
My goal, ever since I could remember, has been to have a healthy lifestyle. Meaning eating clean,pushing my body beyond what I thought I was capable of doing, and being happier.But the problem was, was that I would always do good for about a week, and then give up. I did that for about three years. This new years, I made a resolution to turn myself around, inside and out, and I found your blog and its changed my life..your such an inspitation and Im so thankful for everything you do xoxoxo
I adore your videos and they inspire me to keep working towards my goals! I've been exercising regularly and eating clean, but whenever I get off track my goal is to pick myself back up again just like you say!
Thank you for the positive encouragement! I have cleaned up my eating dramatically since I posted my goal. :) I feel so much better and energetic, and lighter/freer. I ate clean last year, but winter rolled around, I turned to comfort foods/not-so-good-for-you-foods (I didn't gain weight... just felt weighed down and tired). Now, I'm back on track. Also, I started training insane again 2 weeks ago. Love the results. Thanks Cassey!
I'm so proud of you Cassie! You are so inspirational! I love how you only want to push yourself past the limits and that you only strive to better yourself and those around you! :) You make me smile!
Trying to stay fit while working full-time and being a newlywed is my goal. And trying to stay away from that newlywed 15!!! I definitely have fallen of the band wagon sometimes. However thanks to blogilates (all the TH-cam videos, the at home DVD, the ffood plans, and positive feedback) I have gotten back on track to be happy, healthy, and active! I love love love! Blogilates I have told so many people about you cassy! Thanks for being you and helping so many people achieve their goals!
Me and my cousin are doing your calendars together. All day eerday...we love you Cassey, you are definitely an inspiration
I am loving your daily workouts, tweets, pics, and all your encouragement! My goal was to lose 35 pounds by the end of February, and so far I am 15lbs down. I am working hard and following your example to accomplish my goal. My new life motto, thanks to you, is training insane to not remain the same. My journey started in September at 280lbs and am at 211lbs today! 69lbs down feels AMAZING!!!! to say! Thank you again for all your encouragement and tips!
I'm not overweight right now, but I've needed toning and an exercise program for a while. I stumbled across your videos and within a week, I was AMAZED. Thanks so much for all that you do.
I totally understand your problem. A few months ago I tried to learn push-ups and I got it! Now I'm doing the same thing as you but I cannot do a single pull-up on my own. I'm proud of you, because you learned them already. I'm going to train a lot to do pull-ups too!
I love you Cassey! ♥
My goal since finding your videos during my pregnancy last year has been to lose the baby weight!! I'm 9 pounds away from that goal and I've set so many more personal goals for myself that we're inspired by you. All my friends ask what I'm doing to lose the weight and I always tell the to check out Blogilates. I even hit my aunt into it and she has MS and loves your stretching videos and your positive attitude!! You make everyone feel welcomed and like their goals are attainable. Thank you.
Its been a week and a half and I've already lost five pounds ! My goal is to lose 15 , Your channel, your instagram everything has inspired me , and I've even been able to get my mom's support on eating healthy by showing her the easy delicious recipes you put out for us ! Thank you so much Cassey :)
I am happy to announce that my goal of running a holiday half marathon was a success! I ran the Thanksgiving half in Atlanta and PRed by 7 minutes! Another goal I had was to increase my arm strength like you and I am happy to report that I can do 1 set of 12 reps of each of the basic free weight movements using 5 pound weights. I am going to try blast straps in a week and that is adding to my arm strength goal too! Thank you so much for being such a positive person and motivator!
I am working on eliminating the little bit of stubborn fat that I've been giving the evil eye for the past couple years.. And I feel so much better since I've started eating clean and doing your workout videos! Thank you so much Cassey!
My goal is to get back into cardio shape! I had heart problems for a couple of months and a heart procedure done, so I wasn't able to be in the gym for some time. It is my goal to be able to run for 30 minutes straight, as I used to run every day before my heart problems. I hope to be able to do this by the end of February!
Thank you so much for showing us your struggles and goals! It gives me much more motivation to know that setting goals never ends. GOOD LUCK ON YOUR PULLUPS!
Also, the community you've built for us is the greatest thing in the world. We have such a positive community and that makes all the difference in any journey in life. Positivity and support! Love my fellow POPsters near and far!! May you all reach your goals and continue to raise the bar for yourselves. Xoxo
My goal was to continue working out at least 4 days a week on my 6-week break between semesters (I have access to a gym at school, but not at home, and am more tempted to skip workouts without all of my fit friends at school to motivate me). I am proud to say that I have achieved my goal! Thanks, Cassey, for your enthusiasm and encouraging words!
You are so inspiring! It's so hard to take the first step in overcoming the fear to achieve your goals. I'll be honest, I'm still working towards taking that step but I feel Im getting closer every day.
@Anna Nelson wow! Congrats!!!!
Wooh! way to go Cassey! You're an inspiration:) You're ideas of balanced and healthy living have truly helped me get in shape and find balance in my life. Thank you so much for taking the time to make workout videos and blog posts:)
You are so right, Cassey. It's all about resilience. Thank you for teaching me that.
Keep on rocking those pull-ups, Cassey! Don't give up! My goal is to continue getting better at push-ups and pull-ups.
I love your POPpilates workouts and love your workout calendars BUT I used to wimp out in the middle of sets ( the burning, it kills me) I really wanted to be able to press through and do all the sets like a beast in each video. AND now I can *yay*. But I haven't been able to complete all the calendar workout videos for the day in one go yet (I split it up between am/pm). So that is my new goal! To complete a full hour of blogilates workout videos at one time! "Nothing Will Stop Me!!!"
its from lululemon
I've been sticking to my plan to exercise more and eat cleaner and I'm feeling so great lately! thanks Cassey for helping me stay motivated!
(another continuation!) heart as of late and I really think I could do a lot of good for others through nutrition! Combining that with a desire to help the less fortunate who are hungry, and possibly even going overseas for missions and to provide food for people who don't have any, as well as my new healthy lifestyle, I am ridiculously excited for the future and all that it holds! I thank you, Cassey, for helping me to change my life and inspiring so many exciting things in my life!
I am a busy full-time nursing student working two part-time job, and my goal is to lose 12 lbs. Although 12 lbs is the goal, I really just want to feel confident in my skin and be healthy. With my busy schedule, your energy, daily encouraging posts and quick videos have kept me on track. I've lost 3 lbs and am more dedicated now than ever to get to my goal...thank you Cassey!
Working out daily with yoga & exercise 6x a week, encouraging others & encouraging myself. This month started the beginners Pilates workout - new workout. Also healthier choices on food, count calories & healthier desserts - smoothies & such.
Just started watching Pop Pilates and I'm so pumped! Thanks times a billion for making these videos :).
noticed that working out each night helps with my RA. My joints don't swell up as much as it usually does when I don't workout. I want to thank you for teaching me the cobra push up, because my wrist can't handle the real push ups. I hope in the future you will make a video dedicated to what exercises RA patiences should do, I just love your energy so much. Thank you for the videos, they're so lively!
Cassey! Love you soooo much! Pull-ups are something I also personally struggle with! They are the bane of my existence! I've been doing them with one of those heavy duty big green stretch bands attached to the pull-up bar to give me a little assist! Since starting to do that along with you and your challenge I can do 3 full pull-ups! 5 is a great and achievable goal for BOTH of us! You're already almost there!!!! I'm working hard right along with you! WE CAN DO THIS!
My goal is to lose weight and to start living a healthy lifestyle. So far i've been trying so hard to exercise and eat cleaner. I started last September and i remember not being able to do a full video and now i can!!! I can now do more cardio, I feel better on the inside and on the outside. I love love love! all of your videos and thank you so much for being an inspiration!
My goal is to follow your calendar everyday!! x) The way I keep myself motivated is that even if I don't see immediate fantastic results, I love the energy, the fun, and the amount of exercise I get done. And that's already enough for me!!
My goal is to get through your hour long Pilates DVD workout.. 30 minutes in and my abs are crying. I have been doing Pilates for about 2 years off and on (when I have time), but your DVD Pilates workout challenges me beyond any other Pilates workouts that I have done. I will get through the whole hour soon!! Love you Cassey!
Yay, way to go Cassey! Your perseverance gives us all the motivation we need to achieve our goals too! :)
Yayyyy Cassey! I love reaching goals. My goal is to be consistent with workouts, especially as the semester begins. So far I've been doing great and consistently working for approximately 1 hr which is super exciting! I think as the semester kicks off I'll settle into a routine because things look positive so far :)
Love this!!! I have been working on decreasing my mile times, and trying to work up to 5 miles, so I can do a race in May! I have only done a 5k, so this is a challenge for me to keep going when I just want to get off the treadmill! I have made it to about 4 to 4.5miles, and know I can add that extra mile in by this weekend! Thanks for the inspiration!
Started slimming down for spring and summer...realized it takes months to do it the healthy way and its a lifestyle change to be healither :) you make the process fun and its inspiring!
I need to work on my pull ups also, but you're doing so good! My original goal has two parts: Mentally- to accept my body and love it and be confident in it no matter what. Physically- to treat my body good and work on burning my fat percentage down. Thanks for being so positive and encouraging Cassey!
My goal is to be healthier overall (eat healthier, exercise more, etc.). It has been slow going because I have a huge sweet tooth. Your videos and positive energy have been great motivators. I just have to keep reminding myself that it will all be worth it when I reach my goal and this really helps! Thanks for your inspiration!
My goal is to be prepared for my upcoming track season! I feel like I am staying on track thanks you motivating me and your videos! I had a stress fracture which ended my cross country season so it would be awesome to feel confident for this season! I love doing your workouts everyday, TRAINING LIKE A BEAST :) Love your videos cassey, thank you so much!
Cassey, your videos are so fun and great! My roommate and I just started doing your videos, and our two goals are to: 1) run a half marathon together at the end of April, and 2) get through your videos without quitting!! Today we got closer to achieving both of those goals, and you've been an inspiration for us to keep going. Thanks!!
love your videos cassey! they really made me want to live a healthy life style. every day i get home from school i make sure i can have time to do at least one of your videos, and i have each of your work out calenders bookmarked :) it's really helped me out, thank you so much cassey!
I just started watching ur videos but in that short period of time, I was totally hooked! Ive never been this motivated and Im pretty sure I'll be able to do this with all ur help Cassey! :)
I am trying very hard to reach my goal and it feels almost impossible until I watch your videos and see your bubbly personality!
WOW! You have breathed new life in to my goals. As long as I am making consistent forward progress it is just that...PROGRESS. Yay for us.
I've struggled with an eating disorder and unhealthy eating my whole life so (with your inspiration) my goal was going to not only lose weight, but lose body fat still getting stronger and being happy. How much have i lost? I can't be positive because I've gained muscle and not only look but feel so much stronger! I've lost approximately 3 percent body fat and I am starting to see definition in my arms and abs. I am truly proud of my body. I'm healthy and most importantly, I'm happy. Thank you.
It's so true, in anything you should set your goals (un)realistically high. You'll push yourself harder knowing how amazing some final outcome will be. I use the same theory when im thinkingabout my career goals (bet you didn't know the next Christiane Amanpour was commenting on your TH-cam video), in health goals, fitness, etc. When you think of placing yourself at the end of your goal, it's like thinking back to the present is just the story of how you got there.
amazing job!! you are such an inspiration to me. My family are very critical of me because in our culture (Colombian) they pride themselves a lot on their beauty and I'm a bit....pudgy. So thank you so much for inspiring me to work out every night in my dorm room! You are doing an AMAZING job and this video shows me that you are learning and strengthening just like us. Keep it up!!! You can do it!
Its been two months since I decided that IM GONNA DO IT. My family and friends are starting to notice my progress already!! I sed your videos to jumpstart my diet and to motivate me! I am nothing but happy thanks casseeeyyyyyyy
As far as my fitness goal goes, I've been trying to stay fit by adding more cardio days. I polynesian dance two to three times a week but that is not going to get me to the weight I need to be at! I've been trying to keep up with your videos as well! Thank you for all you do Cassey! You make your videos so fun I love them.
@anastasia pavlovic you got it!
I love being able to see you progress! My commitment was to workout more regularly, and it's going well so far! I also have been eating more veggies and less things that come in bags :)
Hi Cassey, I've only started following you for about a week now BUT strangely enough I've set myself a goal just today! In April, I have a huge dance show but I was never really proud of my dancing. NOW, I'm training my flexibility, core strength and I'm trying to loose some weight because it just looks nicer on stage and it might give me the confidence boost that I need. For now, I've already switched my soda to water and I'm training with your videos! Good luck on the pull-ups! x Naomi
First and foremost, I love your positive energy & your commitment to health & fitness. I've seen far too many online fitness personalities that are more concerned with cleavage & booty than actual fitness! You have inspired me to "get my strong on" with a pull-up challenge myself & I have been training to do 4 unassisted pull-ups by the first day of summer since Jan 11th! (I can do one already after 2 weeks!) Thanks for the inspiration and keep it coming :)
Thank you for motivating us! You're always so positive and you have such great tips! Love you Cassey!!
I'm doing fantastic on my goal! I started doing poppilates Jan first and felt better with every day, now i am finally eating cleaner and now the lbs are melting away, wooooohooooo!!!!! Thank you so much Cassey, I LOVE YOU!!!
I have a new year's resolution to work on my arms for strength and I'm happy to report that I've completed almost 7 months of this goal so far. Now, I haven't been exercising consistently every day, or every other day (which was my initial goal, but then I added more muscle groups to work out for a while, so I bumped it up to every day), but I have been relatively consistent and committed throughout. I have never given up on my goal. I only take a couple breaks here and there if I can't squeeze in a workout, or if I'm just too lethargic and unmotivated.
Overall, I have made noticeable improvement and I plan on completing my new year's resolution!
Great job! In the past, I have spent hours and hours THINKING about working out. The classic "I will do it tomorrow." I have worked out, but not as much as I would like. And off course I have not seen any major results ;) So my goal for this year is to stop all the thinking, and start doing. I want to totally transform my body, loose 22 pounds and feel better than ever.
Hi Cassey! My original goal for the new year was to eat healthier & include some type of exercise daily, whether it be walking my dogs around the neighborhood or going to the gym...just something to get my off my butt! I've improved on making healthier eating choices & achieved my exercising goal at least 3-4 times a week! :) I just found out about your videos from a friend & have never been so excited to come home & work out! Your workouts are amazing! Cant wait to start the Feb. workouts! =D
my goal was to get a lot of upper body strength so that I can really succeed in basketball because it's my senior year and I really want to do well. I have been doing three different kinds of arm exercises every night, and I can really see the improvement!!! I've noticed that I am able to make more shots from the three point line, and overall just a better shooter! I really wanted to thank you for making me think to challenge myself, I never would have thought of this without you inspiring me!
Hi, Cassey! You are super inspirational and I've been doing your workouts for over 3 months and have seen AMAZING results! I used to run a lot about 3 years ago, but I got a knee injury and stopped. I tried running a while back and remembered my love for it, but I didn't have the strength to go on. So my goal 2 months ago was to be able to run for 1 hr & 1/2 non stop (no treadmill, outdoor!) I do more and more every time I run and I can go about 1 hr and 5 minutes now so I'm almost there! TY(((:
its nice to know you have goals too, we can relate to you better, knowing you're trying just as hard. and its doing pretty well, my abs are coming through with these hiitlates videos killing me every week haha but cant wait for my beach body
I absolutely love your enthusiasm and support. Even though it's for workout, it really inspires me to do well and excel in all areas. So thank you for being who you are (:
I begun getting healthier after some struggle with body issue and dealing with an eating disorder because I want to finally love myself. I want to not be ashamed of my body anymore. Thank you for workouts that makes me love my body more! :)
I decided I was going to start this new year out right! Eating clean and working out is going to be more of a lifestyle for me now. No more of that on and off stuff! I am proud to say I have stuck to eating clean and drinking tons of water and have been working out everyday! I FEEL AWESOME!! Can't wait to see all the changes happening to my body :)
My goal has been to maintain a healthy and fit lifestyle while in school. I love watching your videos and I love how you let your personality shine :)
My goal is simple but complex at the same time: feel proud of my body, and treat it with care. I've struggled for years and Casey you have helped me stay positive. Thank you
I started my weight loss "journey" at 330 lbs 4.5 months ago... I am currently at 283! I wont reach my goal of 140 by the end of February, but I do have a smaller goal of running 2.5 miles that I am VERY close to achieving! Not only do I look better, I feel tons better too! Thank you for your videos.. they help me so much!
I joined a gym this past October and have been working out since then. I don't have weight to lose, but I want to be more toned, gain strength, and a bit of muscle by the beginning of May since that's when I'm going on vacation down south! I'm very excited and hope I can actually achieve the look I want! So far my workouts are going well and I can do more at the gym, but its not physically showing yet. I'm hoping it will begin to show and come along in the next 3 months!
trying to slim down the tummy so been mixing up my cardio routine and back to playing volleyball again! which makes me so happy!
I started your videos and could only make it through a couple videos on each calendar day, and taking plenty of breaks in each move. Now, I can do round 1 of each cardio day, so , y next goal is being able to repeat them all for round 2! And, I am able to do everything without stopping, with the exception of Pilates days...it is still kicking my butt to do all the reps without a break in the , middle, but I'm getting there! Thanks to you!
I've never been overweight before, but one day I just realized that I would be out of breath going up a flight of stairs, or that I couldn't hold up something heavy for a normal out of time! It was then that I decided to make a very big effort to eat clean & be fit! Exercising is so fun, it's the eating clean part that's hard. But it gets easier & easier as I learn everyday.I do your workouts almost every day and they are so FUN! Thank you Cassey for helping all of us get fit and have fun :)
Your challenges have helped me so much ! I want to use it for the rest of the year or even longer so I can have the body of my dreams ! Awesome work
My current goal is so close I can taste it! On December I made a goal weight to get down to. I have been suffering with a lot of self image issues and just feeling plain ugly. I hated the way I looked and it began to make me depressed. I was even worried my boyfriend of two years was no longer attracted to me, putting a strain on our relationship. But I am proud to say I've lost 20 pounds and only have ten more to go until I reach my goal. Your videos have been such an inspiration. Thank you.
