What motivates you to live a healthy lifestyle?
Well actually the people around me are the ones who Inspire and Motivates me the most!!
After I lost my weight, I got so many positive and amazing comments and feedback from people! And even tho, it’s 3 years ago now.. I still get them but now its mostly consisting of how amazing it is that I have managed to keep my weight and that I have never looked better and I look real fit and strong. And people ask me often about my Diet and my workout routines. And alot of ppl have been motivated by me and inspired to change their lifestyles as well, cause now they see it is fully possible. If I can, of course they can too!
My mom and my dad also are a huge motivational factor for me. They helped me financially to join a health care centre that helped me lose weight, learn how to keep it off, eat right and find other things to enjoy in life, other than food. They are proud of me because I have managed to do what I did and am still going strong. I do it for them!
I also do it for my own well being! I have found a whole new side of myself I never knew was there. I have so much energy now. I don’t find it as hard to get up in the morning. I feel like I am in a disney movie most of my days with birds chirping and myself dancing and singing. Life in general is a lot brighter! I feel stronger and younger as well! And knowing how much better my body and mind are now, I intend to keep it that way until I am 100+++ :)
After I found Cassey on YouTube and started using her videos and joined the Blogilates Community, you guys have been a MAJOR inspiration and motivation as well. Always jumping onto the site every morning afternoon and evening to see whats new and just see how people are thriving and motivating and sharing all the love with each other! Now I do it for you too! So thank you all <3
Fave POP Pilates videos:
I LOVE the MuffinTop Video! I still remember the feeling I had, after finally managing to go through just the first move, cause that one is still one of the hardest moves I know of with the POP Pilates videos I have done. And it is still a killer and it always gets me groaning and sounding like an Elephant!
And I also love the Upper Body Workout, because I have always struggled with my shoulders and they get inflamed very easily no matter what I try to do to keep them strong…until I found this video! The last half is amazing for losing up the tensity and strengthen your mobility of the shoulders! Miracle worker!
Now for the Third fave Video.. I am struggling with my decision here so Im just gonna do a 4th as well :) They kinda go hand in hand for me <3
The Saddlebag Shaver one is amazingly fun, and I feel it both in my back, my obliques and my thighs. The Inner Thigh Insanity is one that makes me wanna cry every time I do it, but wow do I feel hardcore when It’s over and it has given me very fast results!
hello I’m new at this cassey took a month doing your routines and it’s amazing the changes that have come to see in me. Its difficult to me to start eating healthy, I started leaving the sugar, sodas
and white bread, but lately I’ve been feeling very low energy so I started eating chocolate whenever that happens I also took vitamins Can you recommend something to feel more energetic and healthy? xoxo
Hi Cassey, I’ve been doing your monthly work-outs but in quite a few of them you say repeat as necessary, do this video multiple times during the week? I have school throughout the week, and have two hours – at most, very rarely do I have that much time – to work out and I wasn’t sure when I should re-do (is that how I should phrase it?) the videos throughout the week. So should I stick to the monthly plan or do that along with exercising a video multiple times? Thank you (:
Hey, Cassey!
Just yesterday I started doing your calendar workouts, and wow, they’re tough! But I love them all the same. :)
QUESTION: Do I need to do anything else in addition to what you have on the calendars in order to lose fat? Like, any extra cardio or anything? Or do your videos do a good job of cutting fat on their own?
If you, or any other POPsters could answer this for me, I’d appreciate it very much!
Thanks!
So amazing! I have been doing Pop for a month now, and lost six pounds in fat, and gained muscles I’ve never seen before! I love reading these stories, so true. I love how bubbly and upbeat this exercise program is; it’s not harsh, or ragging like some main stream work out plans.
congratulations!!
Hey Cassey,
Love your workouts! I started your workouts 5 months ago, I have gone down 4 sizes. I am totally addicted.
Thanks a bunch!
:-)
How often do you do and which workouts?! Thanks :)
The link to the inner thigh insanity doesn’t work anymore, can we have it back?
is there a way to post my pic on your site?
Oh my gosh you guys are amazing! Seriously keep it up!Seeing you guys really motivates me and I really need to make that change too :) Seriously good job!!!
Hello Cassey,
I have been doing Pop Pilates with you since May 13, 2011. I have only lost 10lbs. However, I have lost lots of inches. This is the first exercise routine I have ever ever done, that has kept me motivated and interesting. I am borderline addicted to it. I can’t wait to post a before and after picture. My children do it with me too now!
Thanks for everything
OMG AMAZING!
