[...] fare so well. After about the first half an hour, I decided I hated it, and instead did all of Cassey’s stretching videos. Also, I was excited that I held a wheel for like 20 seconds. Also 2, I was amazed that I was able [...]

I have a personal goal of being able to do a bridge. I just can’t seem to lift my head off the mat. Can you tell me what I should be working on? Thanks!
Hey, your stretches are really cool are super cool!!
Hi Cassey! <3 Some of us tend to be lazy and lay around watching TV and movies. Can you give us some exercises that we can do while watching TV? Thanks!
I know this is a little late, but you could do planks, triangles, tiny circles, those half cobra push-ups; There’s lots of things you could do while watching tv!
Please could you make a stretching video for the middle splits? I’ve just got my side splits down but I’m so far from middle! Love you <3
One Direction Little Things, so cute ;)
Hey Cassey, (or anyone) do you have any tips for someone who is super unflexible? I can’t even reach my ankle for a leg stretch (I can only get about halfway down the lower half of my leg before it hurts too much! >:-(
Hey Morgan, i used to be really unflexible too, i couldn’t even reach over my knee. I started to ballet and now I can reach the floor, i achieved that in under a month by stretching ones a week. But i found out that i am way more flexible after i worked out so if you work out and then stretch out it’s way easier and gives better results. It would of course be even better if you could start dancing or doing yoga since it helps a lot more, but if you can’t then it’s a good thing to workout before :)
Hey Morgan! :)
A good way, of course, as with everything, is PRACTICE! Just stretch every day for even 5 minutes (more would show more results, but don’t overdo 20 minutes), you will see results pretty soon. And Frederikke is right, when you stretch after working out when your muscles are all warmed up you are more flexible and less likely to injure yourself while stretching. Do different moves and hold them for 30 seconds, don’t bounce about because then you risk hurting yourself! Always stay in the place where you really feel the stretch but where it doesn’t hurt too much! Tara Stiles’ yoga stretch videos are quite helpful too, I can really recommend those!
Good luck practicing and all the best x

Love the stretching videos. It would be amazing if you could do something that targets the lower back and middle back.
Thank you for sharing all your knowledge with us!
The stretching for flexibility video won’t open :,( is it no longer available? Can you send me the direct link to it?
Love the new body focus layout! :D Makes the workouts easier to find yay! <3
can you do a video on how to do the splits the other way? thanks! love you so much!
Hey Cassie. I’ve been enjoying your stretching video, but now it seems that they cannot be found. Have you taken them down or moved them? I would really love to continue using the video as a guide (I haven’t memorized it yet). :)
Another stretching video especially for lower back would be great! Thanks!
Hi! I really love your videos but I think it’d be a great idea if you could do another stretching video… a fuller stretch routine with more arms and shoulders included would be really appreciated!
Oh! I forgot to add… maybe some stuff for loosening up the joints would be nice too :) my hips/knees/wrists/ankles are always stiff lol
Thanks!! You’re the best!
i think this stretching video is very helpful. im a figure skating athlete. everyday i never forget to do all the pilates movement and the stretching, of course, seeing your face on my screen :p it really support me on and off ice training.
you are awesome cassey. and very inspirational. i found out about you few months ago and im glad i did :D thank you, keep rocking cassey!
Hi Cass,
Was wondering if you could do more cool down and stretches vids? would be helpful!
Thanks :)
Hi! I do stretching a bit before and after my exersices. Am I right? And iss it nessesary for example to do stretching the whole day? For example on Sunday – witout hard exersices just stretching?
Tnx ^_^
you’re stunning!
I was thinking of a similar idea. The October calendar is my favorite so far: it pushes my lazy bum to try new videos instead of my same old favs. Maybe the November calendar could have “Sunday Stretching” days to help cool us down from the epic weeks’ workouts.
Thanks so much, Cassey, for your hard work, positive attitude, and generosity in sharing your fitness for free.
Cheers,
Kelley
sunday stretching is such a good idea!
Thank you!
We really need more stretching videos!!
I love them but like you said in one of them, it gets boring after doing them everyday haha.
Would be really nice if you can give us some more options!
Love you , you amazing person you! =)
The first time I was like: Wow, I actually didn’t know I was that un-flexible. And every time I was looking at you, I thought: OMG, I am never going to get this far. But I did it! Thank you!
More stretching videos? Pleasseeee?? :)
hola Cassey!
Is this video good for a 47 year old woman to use first thing in the morning?
I am looking for a video to help me wake up and get moving! : )
Thanks!
Carolyn
It would be really cool if you made some more stretching videos to improve your flexibility! Looooooooove
I love this stretching routine so much and I can tell it’s really helping my flexibility! It’s crazy how much I’ve improved with pilates in such a short amount of time all thanks to YOU!! If you could do more stretching videos that would be awesome, thanks Cassey (and of course I love ALL your videos)!!
Hey Cassey,
It just feels so good and relaxing to stretch after a hard workout. Can you please make some more stretching videos? Thank you so much!
I love all of your videos!

This streching video is really helpful! I used to be able to do the bridge pretty easily, I even almost could do it just leaning back while standing, but I forgot to practice it and I couldn’t do it anymore. But now I can again, and it only took me a week with this video! And I can get my head to my knee easily, too! When I started doing this before and after pilates, I could get my head to my knee but only if I really forced it. Thanks, Cassey :)
It would be really nice if you would take some time and make some more stretching vids, i love this one, but it feels like every muscelgroup isn’t in it (for example the butt) so could you please make some other videos!
Love you!
This video is really helpful! I’m trying to achieve the bridge!
Today is a big day for me.. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO DO THE BRIDGE!! :D Yay :D I remember the first time I tried to do it I just fell right down again (2 weeks ago).. But not anymore! :D
Hi! I was recently in a wedding and had to wear heels. I never wear heels so after a few hours of wearing them up and down stairs I had to ditch them. But now 2 days later my lower back is killing me! I was hoping to resume my workouts after all the madness but feel that I need to take it easy today and get my back feeling better first. I was wondering what stretches would benefit my back and get it feeling better?
Thanks so much for this video! I was in the middle of studying for a big test and my shoulders and upper back were starting to get tired. I needed a little break, so I went on your site for some videos and found this! Amazingly, I feel so much more relaxed! I can also feel my posture getting better. If you have any spare time, please upload some more stretching videos!! Time to get back to studying now :)
Thanks for the stretching session. And the music choice was awesome. It really took me all the way to finish. I really enjoyed this one girl! Keep it girl. xoxo
Hey! I’ve been doing your streching for flexibility -video every day this week after doing POP Pilates, and I’m already more flexible!! That’s amazing, thanks! :) I was wondering if you could do a longer streching video, like 30 min, kind a like deep streching? That would be great to do for example once a week among your other exercises…
I’d love to see some more stretching videos! Maybe for core?
How do I keep myself from falling over during the double leg stretch in the upper back and leg video?
hey I thought you said you were going to make a stretching video with piano accompaniment? ö
Hey I have a shoulder injruy and the pain from the injruy goes down to my arm and down my spine sometimes and I am really tired of it. :( (I had this injruy for 3 years) I tried going to Dr. and they suggested therapy but when I go to therapy, I was in pain from the elastic bands they gave me and could not keep going with the elastic bands. Do you have any videos to recommend to me about how I can heal my shoulder or strengthen it. And if you do, how many times per week?

I don’t unfortunately. You should tell your therapist that it hurts you. Be open and demand what you need. After all, you are paying for it!
I love the stretching for flbtleiiixy video! I’ve never been flexible. I started doing these exercices a few days ago, and already I feel better. i’m still not really flexible but I feel like I can improve if I carry on, and the feeling is great. So, thank you, Cassey!!!
Sub the stap with a scarf!
My palms kill the most from the pressure on them when I do the push ups and gelaernly all the arm work outs. I only did it on my knees and used a towel as well under my hands. How can I stop the pain in my palms?
you are amazing!! I really want to increase my height do you think this video will help? love yaa!!!
Hi!
Great stretching! I wonder if you can do a streching video for the shoulders and the neck? Problem areas for many people…
Do you also have yoga videos? it would be great to have a video with explainations of the different poses.
Thank you!!!
No yoga videos yet, sorry!
i would like to know the names of the songs you used in this video it was so relaxing
Go to my actual YT video and it should be in the description
I just finished doing this fliitbelxay stretch, and I need to stick with this so I can be as flexible as the girl in this video! So, if I keep doing this stretch, I will become flexible? I hope so! Because I felt so out of shape doing this! But it was really great and the girl is so energetic. Must get her energy! :D
