This is the first video of Cassey's that made me realize how INSANE SHE IS!! She did all these moves flawlessly with a smile on her face and talking the whole way. What a queen!

[blogilates]

Do you guys like the moves and tips combo? Should I keep doing that?

[sierramobley]

I'm doing the beginner calendar and I couldn't do all the moves, had to modify some but I"m happy I finished😭 Day 5 done😭

[chessmarin]

I tend to be a bit harsh on myself, so here I go... Time to appreciate myself a bit!
- I am an anorexia survivor, that takes strengh. I am mentally strong <3
- I deeply care about people around me, whether I like them or not, I want everyone to have a good life. I am kind <3
- I can express my inner world through drawing, music and words. I am a creative being.
- I just got through 40 minutes of Blogilates... I am a FREAKING BEAST and I look bomb and confident xD
- I choose my own path in life - I was told my good grades meant I should aspire to become something high status, but I chose to go for vocational education in the field of electricity and electronics. I stand up for myself and act independently, but I always listen carefully when people give me advice.

Thank you for making your videos Cassey, you are so positive, and you always make me motivated to get stronger and keep going! You are an amazing human being!

2 months ago, I had to take 8 breaks to go trough this, but now? I only took 1 break for the entire thing! It feels so good to have acomplished this, I absolutly love our queen Cassy, she's so cool!

[akankshamaddi]

Even though I could barely do this workout and had to take a ton of breaks (hehe beginners calendar) those tips were actually really cool!

[kthorne]

Moves 2, 3 and 5 are pretty challenging if you're just starting out and working to build that core strength. It would be good to have a suggested modification for those so you do the exercise properly. But I love your energy and enthusiam! And having the count down timer and something else to focus on like your super tips is great! Really helps you get through the exercises and stay motivated

[seraemily]

I am forever grateful for Cassey and this channel. I've been following this channel for around three years now and throughout those three years I have had many confidence knocks but somehow Cassey always encourages me to work harder and to shape myself into the person I want to be. I may not be there yet but I am so much more confident in myself. Throughout my life I have never been able to say anything positive about my body but now I can say that I am starting to really like my body and really like the person I am. So thank you, thank you for your workouts, your tips, your personality and just for being the most motivating and encouraging person I have ever crossed on YouTube ❤️

[DeviliciousNails]

I could barely do half of these moves and just cannot keep my legs straight because I'm stiff as a rake, but damn, I was proud when I managed to do one single leg sit up on each side. I think I'm gonna do this video again at the end of the beginners' calendar to see how far I've come. I don't expect to be able to do the whole thing, but seeing progress will be nice.

[netowner]

Girl wtf how can you do this while talking? I can barely breathe

[morganh]

Cassey, you may never see this, but I want to thank you. I have been having anxiety over my mental and physical appearance. Videos like this one and many others on your channel have really helped me build confidence and a healthier lifestyle. So, thank you. ❤️

[natybakiova]

Cassey, I do not know what happened with you but you are SHINING!!!! I am not telling this only because of the compliment part, but because you seem (and I believe you are) HAPPY and BALANCED😊

[kyla]

I could only do like 20% of this workout a month ago - but after 28 days of her pop pilates for beginners calendar, I visited this video again and I'm proud to say I can now do 80%! Don't give up people!! Remind yourself we're all strengthening our abs and by the time I revisit this again in one month's time I hope I can do 100% !

[fla_michi]

Day 5 completed... I'm DYING, I also needed to modify some moves, because I couldn't get up... Not at all... But proud of myself to have done it, even with the breaks in between.

[rrxnyfj]

CASSEY! Can you do basic core/ab work out for those who have ZERO strength in their abs? I can do the number 1 and 5 but I'm not able to do the number 3 and 5... I can't reach up even though I'm trying to! Like my comment if you guys want this too!

[edasenel]

Omg that room is so light and it gives feelings like a fresh start also I was going to start working out so now I know what to do and this video will help me so much thank you Cassey 😊😙

[mirettegeorge]

Why are you so amazing❤? I really loved how your confidence tips distracted us from the workout so we cannot feel the intense and it's a real time pass!

[jllum]

Before doing video: "oh these moves will be easy"
3 minutes in: "omg I can't"

[AstridGreystone]

honestly i dont really get anything from this workout past the first move because I'm not strong enough to do sit-ups and this is practically just different forms of sit ups. i feel sad cause i feel like this would be a really good workout if i was strong enough to do it.

[NAOMIVDB]

I'm gonna watch this even tho I'm not gonna workout
