Hey everyone,
Would love to start the workout plans, BUT Im still waiting for my password 🙁
Please help
I LOVIN IT
This is good stuff, I want to work on it in the Month of July and will let you know if they work. I will also watch my diet.
Hi Cassey/POPsters!
I’m Ellen and I’ve been a member of this for a while but only really want to start taking action this month. So, I want to try the 12 week new body challenge but I’m unsure as to what workout calender I should follow? Should I go to the 1 Dec where the challenge was introduced or should I follow the new May 2014 one? I’m not sure.. Please, I’d like to know as I’m so motivated to do this!
Thanks ♥ xxx
If you’re a beginner you should start with the beginners calendar to get you started. I just finished it and jumped right on the monthly calendars and oh boy what a difference! the beginners calendar will get you ready for the monthly calendars
Hi guys! I was just wondering if theres a calendar that focuses on butt/legs? Like the april calendar is targeting abs?
The March calendar focuses on legs and butt. I have just started on it because that’s my problem area, and it is killer. Be prepared to walk like a baby gazelle!
hey guys
along with the workouts on the calendar she has, are you guys lifting weights or doing any other workouts?
I am new so im still figuring it out.
I have been doing her workouts only, I started with the beginners calendar and finished it yesterday and posted a before and after picture and I could see a difference already in only 28 days, Im starting the April calendar today now that Im done with the beginners one. Right now I don’t have access to a gym so Im going to focus only on her workouts. In the future I do plan on actually going to the gym to lift but I want to have some strength and know how far I can push myself before I go public haha. Just don’t push yourself too much, listen to your body, if you feel like the workout of the day on the calendar wasn’t enough then add something else to it after you are done!
I make the calendar in the morning and run about 20 to 30 mins at night after school, I’m kinda new as well so I don’t feel ready to add more strenght to my muscles just jet, but you can try an see how you feel, justo don’t over work it so you don’t hurt yourself (sorry for my english 😛 )
Hey can someone help me please!!
I started with the Ab workout challenge for April and stopped for couple of days and now I can’t open the calendar and I can not find the workout videos!
Thanks for your help
some of them have been moved to the social page (my.blogilates.com) so check there 🙂
I’ve been doing workout with the monthly calendars for the past 2 months and I did yesterday’s workout using this calendar as well. Today I try to do it but can’t see anywhere the links to the videos : ( and it says that it is locked & protected by password but I already unlocked it using the password given through my email …what is happening?
I left the April calender because I didn’t feel like working out for two weeks now. My body felt like jelly and tired the whole time and my brain didn’t work as well. By not working I mean there was simply no energy left for university stuff, exam learning and all those nice things you do in college/school/whatever. all this nasty learning stuff which I usually love but I haven’t taken a real break since summer 2012 and my energy levels finally crashed down total. also caused by some other problems which came up and are solved luckily. 🙂
all I felt like doing for the last weeks was shopping, sleeping, eating, being lazy…. yeah. and I accidently lost 2 kg. I have eaten maybe once a day. Felt like being back to my old self when I needed to place food next to me, otherwise I will forget to eat.
Now I’m slowly getting back to workout and since my motivation for the calender is gone I did some of her newest videos. I feel dead! my legs are dieing! yet I feel good and I know I will get stronger again 🙂
looking forward to May and hopefully see some of you guys on the new website.
good luck, Kathy
Good Luck Kathy,
I’m a student as well, and I totally understand. I felt myself slack for 2 weeks because school was getting more hectic and I just missed a little to many days of working out. I finally finished school and told myself, I need to go hard and not slip these next couple of months coming. So good luck to both of us…lets do this!
I prefer blogilates.com over my.blogilates and thats because I was super excited for the social network… Maybe it will grow on me.
Lets stay positive and motivated girls!
my.blogilates won’t work 🙁
My only question is now: Will Cassey still upload the new workout calender on her blog too or only on my.blogilates in future? I mean the printable pretty version. I don’t have problems searchign the videos on YouTube (I always search all videos at the same time, open them in different tabs and it’s just like the playlist here. It takes up no time, really.).
my question is because my.blogilates is still beta-version and my internet breaks down when I try to open it (I already created an account but that is days ago xD). I am sure Cassey will fix that problem. Creating such a big website is a question of time and sometimes there can be complications, so no problem with that. 🙂 I ask because I don’t really need it and I would only use it to get the calender.
hope you do all fine!
Hey guys ! I have got some problems with the Blogilates App ! Do I have to pay to have the calendar ? Because I don’t understand , it is asking me to subscribe and it’s 0,99 per months .
To have the calendar on the blogialtes app you need to pay 0.99 a month but everything on the app is free:)
hey guys when you did the bodypop bitt, did you do the three times workout to make an hour ? or you just make one time with the other videos, or is it a thing more up to me? hahaha i’ll appreciate your comments, thanks 🙂
Doing every video once is enough cardio for one day 🙂
If you’re not tired though, who’s stopping you 😉
To everyone complaining about the social network thing – it’s not that difficult to simply look up the daily videos on YouTube after just looking at the calendar. Sure, the daily playlists were convenient, but can you blame Cassey for trying to put it in a more easily accessible and interactive area?
I’ve just been looking up the videos for each day on YouTube and when the social network gets more advanced and speedy, then I’m sure it will be awesome over there.
Anyway, am I the only one who thought that today was an insane amount of burpees? I felt like I never stopped. Literally. Every. Video. Loved it though, and as much as I hate burpees they make me feel so strong and empowered after doing them for a while.
Feeling great after completing day 21. Good luck everyone! Keep going and stay strong!

my.blogilates.com isn’t working.
It is always shown this message:
‘
Error 504 (time out)
The web server responsible for serving this page is taking too long to respond. Try again in 2 seconds?
‘
Is anybody else facing the same problem? Please let me know if anybody has any idea on how to solve this. 🙂
Hey guys,
Is it just me or is the Blogilates Social Network a little too slow?
I can’t even accept a friend request because the website freezes and I know it’s not my computer because I don’t have problems with any other website.
Same thing here :/
its not just you.. its everywhere. Remember its still in beta mode. There are a lot of bugs right now but hopefully everything will be fixed soon when its out of beta! 🙂
I kind of wish Cassey would still put up the daily playlists on the blog… At least until the Blogilates Social Network is up to speed. Please, Cassey? After reading the comments under April 21, I know I’m not the only one that would like to access them through the blog.
I agree. The social network is obviously not ready. I understand that it is still in testing mode, but until all of the errors are fixed there NEEDS to be an alternative. If you could at least post the playlists back on the blog until these errors are fixed we’d all appreciate it!
It’s funny because my computer is really slow (and about to die in a few mounth, I think) but the blogilates network is as fast as the others websites for me 😉 Weird, no ?
Hi cassey, after you change the link to my.blogilates.com i couldn’t access to it… please help!
Cassey, your workouts are really good, but the server of blogilates network isn’t working as good as your workouts. There is a lot of people to access myblogilates and I think the server is not supporting all the access. 🙁
I feel so bad and unmotivated right now .. I had six (!!) pieces of cake this weekend after doing it without any treat that’s processed or contains sugar for over a month!! I got a head ache, I feel like having a rapid pulse and I don’t even want to think about how many steps back I took in my aims to get lean :/
This probaply sounds greatly exaggerated for some but it was hard work to get here. I just can’t indulge in moderation!! That’s so annoying .. I hope some of you can relate :/
Looking forward to feeling a lot better after the workout!!
you shouldn’t beat yourself up it was just cake!! all you have to be concerned about is not doing it constantly. just cause you ate a few slices of cake doesnt mean you have fallen off track it was temptation luckily we have exercise to burn all those calories!! I have seen many fitness gurus let temptation get the best of them.. they didn’t fall out of shape and neither are you as long as you keep following your diet
thank you so much!! Now, a day later, I completely agree!! 🙂
Dude! Do you know how much have I eaten yesterday? That was CRAZY.
It’s like: about 7 huge pieces of cake (tiramisu and cheese cake <3), three sandwiches (egg, mayo, kolendra and chives), 2 toasts (with cheese, ham, tomato and onion), dinner (something like 3 or 4 chops [my mum has new recipe, so cool!] and vegetables), and I think there was something more, but I can't remeber now.
I do not regret, really.
Today I'm fine with myself, yesterday was a cheatday. I'm cool. You can't blame yourself, you can only start new day with new perspective, right?
So, come on! You can do it!
Hey Everyone! I just finished my Day 20 workout and i just wanted to see what all workout videos there are for Day 21, but there’s no link. What I mean is that all the tabs till Day 20 are in purple but from Day 21 its black and nothing happens if i click on it.
did anybody notice this? Is anybody else facing the same problem or is it just me? o.O
Please let me know if anybody has any idea on how to solve this.
🙂
Cassey doesn’t always have time to update them into purple links with listed videos in time, but I’m sure she will soon 🙂 You can check the picture of the calendar to see what videos there will be for tomorrow and then look them up on youtube 🙂
Thanks 🙂
Hi Cassey, & friends
I am doing blogilates since last 6 months.
but last month when i changed my handset, the app stopped working.
now i am charged for it but i cannot see the calendar and the videos.
it keeps saying pls subscribe.
HELPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!
thanks
Hi, I’m new to this website and just started doing the April calendar. I would like to know if I’m suppose to do all the workout in one day?
Thank You
Each date on the calendar has some workout videos you’re supposed to do you look them up on YouTube and that is it you do the workouts she has on the dates
Thank You
I just started the calendar today and it’s SO fun! But I did notise that my legs are far too stiff too do some of the exercises…… Anyone got any stretching-tips????
(Pleace exuse my spelling, I’m from Sweded so my english isn’t that great)
Kanske borde du stretcha innan du börjar med videorna? I vissa stretchar man ju innan, men ta någon av Cassey’s stretching-videos, eller hitta på någon egen rutin. Om det inte hjälper kan du ju bara fortsätta och försöka göra övningarna så gott det går, du kanske blir vigare med tiden? Men OM det på riktigt gör riktigt ont, sluta då. Det är normalt att vara lite stel och att det därför gör ont, men gör det ont på ett annat sätt så kan du skada dig.
————————————-
Maybe you should stretch before doing the videos? In some of them you stretch before you start, but take one of Cassey’s stretching videos, or make your own routine. If that doesn’t help you can try doing the exercises as good as you can, you’ll probably get more agile as time passes.
But, if it HURTS, then stop. It’s normal to be a bit stiff and that’s why it hurts, but if it hurts in a HURT way then you should absolutely stop.
Cassey has some great stretching videos! She’s made a couple that I know the names of- ‘Feel Good Soul Stretches’ and ‘Stretching for Flexibility’ really help loosen the muscles after a tough work out and you should always do some quick stretches before and after you workout to prevent any injures! 🙂
Jag tycker din engelska är bra 🙂
På youtube finns en 30 day yoga challenge som jag tycker är bra för att stretcha 🙂
Thank you so much! Och tack Mickis :)!! Skönt att veta att man inte är den ända svensken där ute;p
I’m already fairly strong, I never find the workouts challenging because they’re very similar to the warm ups done in karate, which I’ve done since I was 3. I’ve been following her calendars for 2 months and I’ve seen no changes. Should I follow the calendar, or just do some of her HIIT and cardio videos each day?
Hello everyone! For a few days I start to really fell my obliques and the pain won’t go away. What do you suggest: should I just skip the exercises for that part of the body or go on ? Hope you have a nice day 😀
Hi – I just joined today and I was wondering if it’s okay to start at the day we are in on the calendar? instead of day 1. Please advise. I want to get the maximum and I want to do it correct. I did day 17 and loved it. Please email me or reply here. thank you so much
If you really want to see the best results I think you should start with day 1. But that means you won’t be able to get the calendar for the next month right. It’s up to you. I hope that my answer helped you even a litlle, good luck with your exercises 🙂
I started yesterday acutally 🙂 But I just started as day on the workout and just follow everyday…even though I have medical issues and really hard time practicing, half of them I cant even do, I hope at least some resut will show up in a month. Im really trying this time, hope it works out well for you too 🙂
Love
Pam
I have the same problem, but I’m starting from day 1. I really really REALLY want those abs!!! ^^
I have a question. There are some videos ate the end where Casey tell us to do it 2-3 more times. Is it suposed to do it 2-3 more times or that’s only for people that are not following the calendar, and so they need to do it more times to equal the wrokout we have planed every day?
thats only for the ones who dont follow the calendar.
Im going to spain in 3 weeks and im really hoping to lose weight around my tummy and lose my love handles..im 5ft6 and about 180pounds …i eat healthy 99% of the time with the few acceptions and I exercise about 4 times a week going jogging and walking and it doesnt seem to be shaking at all..i did the beginners calendar with no difference afterwards so im going to start the april calendar today..any other help anyone??
I had such problems also before. In facts, what I thought it was “eating clean” wasn’t. I always thought that “I like fruits and vegies and I eat it a lot so I eat clean”. So maybe, ask yourself what eating clean means. Maybe you can also start the 12 weeks newbody makeover. You don’t have to follow it exactly but it will gives you a better idea of what you should eat and what quatities. Hope it would help you. Good luck
Can you start april abs any time or will the videos/calendar disappear at the end of the month meaning I cannot complete it?
I think the calendar itself will go away (including the playlists with each day’s workout). But if you print off the calendar and then search each video individually on YouTube, you can find each vid again 🙂
I think it stays. But since you will have another calender for May, your problem will never end. Just do the days in April calender since now and then for the 1st of May you’ll start the new calender !
If u save the calendar or the email in which u recieved the calendar n password u should be able to access the months calendar/ videos ,, I’m flip flopping between March Beginners n April Abs n have no problem,, hope that helps . 🙂
Hey 🙂 I am following the calendar for about 2 months and just read somewhere under the working out videos that we also have to do a cardio workout every day unless it’s a sweatfsat day. Is it true?
If I run, does that count as my sweatfest days or am I supposed to do the videos as well? And if no, do you think its okay to do strength training on those days along with my running or would that not give my muscles time to rest?
That counts as your sweatfest since it’s cardio! But I would definitely give your muscles a break by not strength training that day. They need to recover so they can do great at the next workout
I haven’t been working out since Thursday last week. Too many things happened concerning heart-ache, heart-joy, exam-stress, knee-in-pain and relaxing weekend XD I never spent more than 4 hours in thermal spring. My friend and I spent whole Saturday there. Well, she was used to, also used to sauna. Me not so much so I was a bit embarassed the first time but it got better.
i’m feeling much much better now and I might be going on doing some workout together. maybe a mixture out of all days I missed cause I’m so not wanting to start with Sweatfest (no cardio fan hehe).
hope you have a nice day, are fine and do great 🙂
I feel you Kathy! haha. I’m not a cardio fan either. I DREAD cardio days 🙁
I also had a workoutless weekend (and beginning of the week)! Feeling a bit guilty, but I’ll be doing more than 1 day today 🙂 Good luck!
Cassey
You kindly grouped all the sessions per day on your YouTube channel and now they have gone. Those playlists were great for a time constrained mum of two. Can you please bring them back? Thank you.
The workout playlists are on the bottom of this post? The little calendar?
In YouTube they are a complete playlist rather than clicking on individual videos as per the little calandar. They are back now so that solves that problem. Thanks though.
Hi, could you please send me the complete advice?I can not find the whole playlist for each day? It is indeed possible to find that? Thank you for your help. Radka
Hey !!
I’ve been doing this calendars for two months and I already see a big diference in my abs and arms but none on my legs, dispite the fact that they are bigger (more muscle) than before ! I still have the top of my thighs touching even though I do a lot of Cassie’s exercises to melt it down.
What should I do to make that part of my leg stop touching ??
That so call “thighs gap” depends on your bone structure. Some people have it, some don’t .
Inner thigh clarity is a great vid as inner thigh raises are very effective, plus plie squats. Bear in mind though that if the insides of your thighs are already quite firm, that might be your natural shape.
No, actually I feel like a dead weight at the top of my thigh whenever I’m doing leg exercises and it’s kind of jelly, so I suppose it is fat ..
Do you know how many times and in what regularity should I do this exercises ?
Thank you for the help !!
Not everyone is made to have a thigh gap and you said that it feels jelly so you think its fat. fat can feel jelly too. so keep that in mind and dont strive for something naturally unattainable for your body shape 🙂
3-4 times a week on non-consecutive days along with cardio and a healthy diet, basically do the videos as many times as you feel comfortable and can keep proper form, so I’d suggest maybe trying inner thigh clarity at the start and at the end of a work out session so you have a bit of a break as it gets intense doing the same action repeatedly. It’s a tough area so just keep persevering!
Thank you so much !!
I’m gonna do my best (:
Oh, I forgot to ask one more thing !!
Do I have to make the Inner Thingh Clarity even in the days that Cassey work legs ?
lol that’s for a reason dont look for something which doesn’t exist. your body is designed a certain way so don’t obsess of this fact you are looking going to cause yourself frustration.
Hey 🙂 I know this workout is for abs , but if I do this workout , is there gonna be any effect on my legs ? [Im sorry about my english..]
Hey guys, i was wondering. Is it the same for the sweatiest days if i go for a run? Will the results still come?
If you run for about half an hour or more, it can replace a cardio day! 🙂
Hi ,
my name is sharon and i’m 14 years old.
When i finish my workouts i feel like i’m going to throw up i dont know why i dont feel and pain while doing the workouts,it’s also so hard for me to lose weight i’m doing the workouts but my lower belly is getting big and so are my thighs and i eat clean, workout and i don’t know what else to do to lose weight.
i’m also short for my age 150cm are there any tip to grow taller?
Im 23, and im 149cm… did not find anything to grow taller so you must accept that hehe 😉
I’m 1m52 and 21! But if you eat healthy and eat enough, you will probably still grow (until you are 16-17). You do look taller by bettering your posture (see Cassey’s stretches for flexibility)
You are still very young and so you shouldn’t workout and diet intensely. Your body is still growing/developing. Eating healthy and working out every other day is probably enough.
And since you have pain, maybe start with the beginner’s calendar? If you get stronger you will be able to do the other workouts without pain or throwing up!
Good luck!
And we should do these five workouts in one “session”?
Cassey, I’ve been told that we should eat right after the exercises, something about metabolism working faster I think ..
Is it true ?
I do it, because I’m hungry anyway after a workout! It’s best to eat something with enough protein after your workout to nurture your muscles.
I looked it up and the effect is called: The “afterburn effect” also known as “excess post-exercise oxygen consumption” or EPOC.
Apparently it depends on your own bodytype and type and intensity of the workout.
Can anyone tell me where to find the passwords for the meal plans? I’m new to the site && so excited to get started! Thanks so much!! 🙂
15 pounds lighter in weight since March 1,2014. Thank you Cassey.

So I’m just finishing up on the beginners calender and I can’t wait to try the new stuff but I was wondering if I should start at April 1st workouts (and always be a few weeks behind) or workouts from the date that I am actually ready to start?
I looovee the feeling when you notice you’re stronger than before ! 😮 Thanks to Cassey and all you other popsters I have learnt to love myself, training and over all healthy living. I’ve been over weight and then anorexic but now I’m definitely going to the right direction! Thank you<3
Hey everyone, I’m about 5’6″ and have been around 140-147lbs for a very long time. I’d like to lose around 15lbs and I was wondering if I should be doing more cardio than the calendar says, and if so, how much?
I am the same:( and its so hard for me to lose weight..
Personally I lost weight only by doing the calendar. But remember the most important is healthy eating, not only workouts 🙂
heyy 😀 im 5’7 and 165 🙁 it has been so hard for me to lose weight- even with swim team training 2 hrs a day, 6 days a week last season, i have only gained weight (6 lbs). However, I am not that sad, as I am definitely eating much heatlhier, am so much more energized, my thighs look sooo much thinner, and i have also gotten much, much more fitter. Hopefully, my weight will follow. My long term goal is to lose 40 lbs (my frame is quite small, judging from my forearms, ankles, hips and neck), but by june 1 i want to lose at least ten lbs. So, I’m going to start actively counting my calroeis as well.
Hi guys, I’m new here. I just wanna ask something. As new members, Do i have to start the Calendar from Beginner’s Workout Calendar or I can start from April calendar? Thank you 🙂
I think you can start on either. Just don’t be disheartened if you can’t do everything straight away. You will master it so quickly. Good Luck! I hope it goes really well 🙂
This depends on how well the workouts are for you.
As example: I’m a beginner but I do the April calender.
But because I suck at doing Ab workouts,I do All the workouts daily but if the ( Ab) workouts don’t go well I do the beginner workout for that day 😉
Hi Cassey I was just wondering if you have any health smoothies. xox Brodie.
here you can find two:
https://www.blogilates.com/blog/2013/09/12/my-metabolic/ (metabolic supercharge smoothie)
https://www.blogilates.com/blog/2013/10/09/the-best-pumpkin-pie-protein-smoothie/ (pumpkin pe protein smoothie)
I’ve tried both and they are really tasty and healthy 🙂
Should I be doing extra cardio every day in addition to the calendar to burn fat? Or is eating clean and following the monthly calendar enough? I don’t have much fat to lose, I’m already at a healthy weight but I’m trying to lower my body fat percentage to look more toned and less flabby.
I don’t know if I could realistically do both….two hours of exercise every day is a lot, definitely not a long term maintainable lifestyle for me. But just thought I’d ask.
I’d say for now you should follow the plan and diet. If this doesn’t seems enough for you at the end of this month, you can try to integrate some fast walking or jogging. This month to me looks already complicated by itself 🙂
In my opinion you shouldn’t add more cardio if you don’t want to loose weight. I think that the calendar is enough to get toned! 🙂
I definitely like the rest day on Sundays better…but it is easy to switch up your schedule to accommodate my need for this 🙂
Maybe someone can help me with this question 🙂
I just started the beginner’s workout calendar 2 days ago, but I reeeally want to use this Aprilabs calendar as well… Would you guys recommend doing both at the same time, and when May comes around I would stop the aprilabs, keep on with the beginner’s calendar until I’m done but still start the May one on the 1st – just so I would get into the rhytm? 🙂
Hi! If i were you, I would just mix the two calendars. Beginners – one day, regular – the other day. This way you don’t wear yourself out, but strengthen your muscles. And then you can switch to the regular calendar, when you feel you are ready :)) Hope it helps!
If you can do the regular workout calendar, I’m sure you’re strong enough that you do not to follow the beginner’s calendar. 🙂
Hello everyone, I have a problem when I’m doing some of the workouts and we have to lift one leg, my leg always have a slight bend in it, its never straight.! Should I do yoga stretches to get a better flexibility? Thank You and may God bless you all on your fitness journey!
Maybe do some stretches before doing workout? I think beginners like me can’t put legs straight and have to slightly bend the legs when doing some of the workouts too 🙂 perhaps when we do more, train more then we could be better? hope this does help 🙂 God bless!
Hey Kourtney! Stretching might help to get more flexibly, for sure, but it takes a lot of time and patience.
i have that problem too sometimes but more because my spine isn’t flexible enough and won’t ever be cause on health grounds. I wish you good luck too on your fitness journey!!
So I’m new to this. The workouts on the calendar, are they workouts that are posted on YouTube videos?
Yup they are. The playlists are in the calendar table above so you don’t have to search the videos individually.
Yes, but Cassie makes a program by combining 5 of them each days 🙂
I can’t peel myself off of the floor without holding onto my legs for support. What should I do?
she says in one of the beginners’ videos that it is fine to hold on to your thighs to help yourself until you get stronger. which you will. i had to hold my thighs too at first but after 2 weeks i could do it without, you’ll get there!
I just finished AprilAbs for today and I am definitely feeling the oblique exercises! Luckily, I’m seeing some tiny results because I’m going to the beach next week! I even got my friend to do it! The added cardio and your videos are so perfect before I take a shower. Afterwards, I shower and I’m ready to knockout. Working out has definitely improved my sleeping habits!
Guuuys, help! I never finish the abs workouts i just can’t, i lose form and i just can’t go on but i’m never sore the day after. Am i doing something wrong? I mean i have progress with my workouts, im stronger but i still cant finish them without pauses or going on beginner versions. Should i push myself harder or i don’t know?
I think I have the same problem. My upper abs hurt sooooo bad whenever I do abs workouts. Its not just burning, because I love the feeling of burn when I have it in my legs. It´s so different and I can´t go on. Right now I tried it again and I stopped, I feel bad about it because I really want to do it 🙁
Not always you’re going to feel sore after a workout, maybe cause you didnt push too hard or your abs are getting stronger day by day without getting sore. Try pushing yourself harder and reminding yourself your final goal and you will do it!! Good luck 🙂
I’m in the same situation as you… 🙁
Hey Cassey !!
Is it normal that i weight more now, after the begginers calendar than I did before ?
And is it normal that I’ve been noticing that my belly is becoming a bit bigger ? Is it the abs ‘forming’ or something like that .. ?
I’m a bit worried ..
Same here! I have been working out for 5 weeks 6 times a week and gained 2 kg…
Its normal; the muscles are tightening up and that means they are pushing any superfluous fat etc. to the surface, your muscles underneath are getting tight and defined but the fat on top is sitting there. That is why this month is about burning off that fat so that the abs show through.
Oh god, I’m so glad that that’s the reason ! I thought that I wasn’t doing enough..
Thank you !!
Just one more thing :: How long do I have to go, to start to see positive changes in my body ? Cause for now, I only see fat ..
It’s different for everyone and don’t stress or worry too much over it because that can lead to weight gain (the opposite of what you want) I noticed the biggest change in my body when i increased my protein and calories, worked out on a regular basis, ate clean, and stopped focusing on my body and instead focused on my actions. But like i said before, every ones body is different so what works for me may not work for you! play around with your diet and exercise and see what your body likes 🙂
It depends on how long you have been doing it and how hard you are pushing yourself. I am the same way, but I know that I need to push myself way way way more!!! And that my diet could still use a little help. Also to get rid of fat you have to do cardio, whether it’s the cardio videos or running, that will help you burn all that fat!!
To see results on getting that layer of fat to go away so you can see the abs underneath, a huge part is how you’re eating. Exercise is only part of it, nutrition is extremely important! This is about where I’m at now, I have “fat abs”, so I know how you feel. It’s easy to get discouraged, but we can all pull through it together 🙂
I have been very sick the past couple of days so today was my first day back to workout. I’m still not up to par. But I did what I could without coughing or getting dizzy. What matters is I didn’t give up and I not quitting on working out and being a better me.
We can do this blogilates community!!!!
Hi,
I’d like to do this workout, but I have some trouble with the display.. Does anyone have a same problem? Can you please send me the picture with april workout to my mail box? I would really appreciate it, thank you
Hey everyone,
Just wondering do I have to do all the workouts listed for each day all together at once? or can I just split them up and do them separately throughout the day?
Thanks!
It’s up to you, as long as you do them:)
I really like that’s new calendar. The workout or not that’s long like the last one and the recovery day is friday (this is a really good idea). Thank you Cassey ! 😀
Hi Casey!!!
I’m new to blogilates and I was just looking at the April calendar. It had the info in the bottom right corner about a B.S.N profile link, and I was wondering what that is? Thank you for all your video I just love them.
Whew! I’ve been doing the workouts and following the calender for about two weeks now and wow, some are so hard! (But I also haven’t been working out regularly since…forever lol)
Just wanted to say thank you for having the workout calender! It’s hard to keep a record or to play out a workout plan and this one works out great for me. I just hope that I can actually keep up better in these videos as the days go on. XD
for the links that say ‘new workout vid’ i am subscribed but when i click through to youtube it just takes me to a selection of blogilates vids. do i just do the newest uploaded video?
Cassey uploads new video every monday, so you just need to wait 🙂 Or pick another instead 🙂
Hi! I just downloaded the app and I LOVE it. I also have an idea for you 🙂 In the calendar section, where you can check off boxes as you complete workouts, could you maybe put a box where we can save some words for ourselves? Like how we felt about the workouts that day, what we’ve gotten better at, what we still really want to improve on, etc.
Everything you do is awesome, thanks!! 🙂
i LOVE this idea! please do it cassey!
Good idea !!
Great idea! I wish I could get the app on windows phone… but I can just use this idea in my journal ;D
Hello everyone,
I had a QUICK question, so because recovery day is friday does that mean i can also have a YOLO meal too? i follow the meal plan already and still want to get my abs. will having one cheat day maybe ruin that chance of abs by the end of april?
please let me know as tomorrow is friday and i’ve been hoping for a yolo food all week after midterms
Thank you
Hey Giselle,
personally, I think it is absolutey fine if you eat one YOLO meal per week! It won’t destroy the hard work you did during the rest of the week and I really think it helps keeping you on track (I, for example, ate an entire bowl of sweet popcorn yesterday and it was SO GOOD!).
So, I would recommend that you listen to what your body (and your soul! needs. Maybe one week you really need a YOLO meal, while the next week you can go without. That’s how I do it, and I’m very happy that way (and I’m maintaining my weight, which is my goal 😉 )!
All the best!!
i think it’s fine to treat yourself once in a while. i just have a small amount of something if i fancy it and then get back on track. if i didn’t i would end up binging. as long as you’re eating healthily 80% of the time, the odd yolo treat helps keep your morale and motivation up. i’ve still lost 24lbs in 2 months whilst having the odd chocolate bar/biscuit/quesadilla!
I think a YOLO meal should be fine …. just as long as your YOLO meal doesnt turn into a YOLO DAY 😉
Hi Cassey,
I’ve signed up and got the email with the password but where do I put in the password? Thanks!
you just click on the calendar on the left side of the page and once you click on it you will be asked for a password.
More ballet\dance inspired workouts?! 🙂 I love them!
Just completed today’s workouts! It feels so good to check off those boxes 🙂 But man am I sore! Looking forward to recovery day tomorrow lol
Hey Cassey !!
I have a question :: I’m still doing the beginners calendar but I’m already in the 3º week and I don’t feel my abs burning while doing the excercises anymore…
Am I doing something wrong ? …or is it normal ?
Thanks (;
That means you’re getting stronger!
Time to start trying some of the harder videos! Congratulations on the great work!
Hello!
Usually, I try to do cardio (elliptic for 30 min.) 3 to 5 times a week and the monthly calendar. With the 3 days “SweatFest”, do you think I can only doing the calendar without making my cardio and having good results on the fat loss? I make the exercises of the calendar in the evening, but it´s often difficult to find the small 30 minutes in the journey with a 6-month-old little boy!
Thanks! (And I’m sorry for my english, my french is very better 🙂 )
Hey everyone!!
I’m super EXCITED to start this calendar, but I’m a little afraid that this calendar won’t really work my inner thighs/legs in general!! I would like to focus on my abs (and this calendar is AMAZING for that) but also on my legs and just one day for that seems too little to see improvement….
Should I see this calendar as an only abs calendar or will I also see a difference in my legs?
THANK YOU everyone and ENJOY Aprilabs!!!
xxx
I think doing just this calender you should also see a difference in your legs. I’ve noticed that most of the hiit and cardio videos have a lot of leg exercises in them, such as squats and lunges, so you’ll also be working your legs on the sweatfest days. My legs actually hurt after april 2nds workout. If you’re worried though you can always add in some extra leg workouts on the other days.
Hi Cassey! Thanks for this amazing experience, I just finished the beginners calendar today and I’m so ready to start aprilabs! Since you put “Fat melting routine” in this calendar, I was wondering if we should do it 4 times (as you said in the video) or just once (since there are also other workouts to do in the same day)?
Thank you and sorry for my english
Stefania
Hei Stefania!
If you are following the calendar,you need to do each video once,because,as you said,there are other workout videos included in your routine.
I hope you found this helpful. Keep on going!. XO
Hi!
Just once is enough. Because all exercises added make one hour, so it is fine.
Just as I thought! Thank you Carmen 🙂
Hi Cassey! I love this calendar, but could you make a black and white version, too? It doesn’t have to be anything fancy, just so long as it has the same information. I don’t have a color printer so when I print it out it’s very gray and not as easy to read. I’m sure other people feel the same way. Thanks so much for putting your time into this!
This would be a great idea! Then we could color in the days as we finish or something.
Just finished todays workout and I’m dying!
I felt it was out of my limits even at the half way but I’m so proud of myself that I finished it!
Hey guys. I was just wondering that is peanut butter fattening? or is it good in for our diet?
peanut butter is good for diet! you should eat 2 tea spoon on day
It’s good if you don’t eat too much of it. Eating a TSP or a TBSP a day is good for you, as it contains good fat, and contains protein so it’s filling ( http://www.prevention.com/food/smart-shopping/healthy-eating-why-peanut-butter-good-you ). Of course eating an entire jar isn’t gonna be good. But it is a healthy alternative to other too sweet snacks such as chocolate, candy…
Hey Cassey,
could you activate the links of the calendar for the next few days? Sometimes I like to switch Rest day with Cardioday, but If i can’t open the next days links, I have to look up the youtube videos all by myself. 🙁
Hey Cassey!
I love your workouts but I have just started the april abs calender and was wondering if I would be able to acheive a flat stomach and toned thighs, and just a healtier body from this?
Hi everyone,
I’m new to this and excited about getting fit and living a healthy life. Does it mean I’m not ready because I’m addicted to chips? I need help and open for suggestions.
Hey Cassey,
I started following the calendar in the middle of February, I would go to the Gym for an hour and half or longer before. I planned on doing both, but my schedule got pretty busy with school to fit in both the gym and calendar. I do prefer doing the calendar since it is convenient to do at home, but would it be enough just to the calendar and eating clean to get results. I’ve been working out and eating clean since last January, and I do notice a change I guess, and people do too but I am still unsatisfied with my results so I wanted to know if your calendar would help me. I guess I’m just frustrated with the slow process, but I know everyone’s body is different.
Thank you
A suggestion of what you could do is eat clean and do the calender but possibly double up some of the workouts with other blogilates workouts or do some of the routines twice to do 2 sets of the same workout?
Hey Priscilla,
the only advice I can give you is speaking through my own personal experience. I’ve been following the calendar and eating Clean-er for 3 months now. I say cleaner because for me the hardest part is self discipline when it comes to food, and I would rather building these habits over times than force myself and possibly end up binging. I will say that I really have noticed a difference. I’m sure if you are very deteremined you could definitely see clear results if you follow the calendar and really stick to one of her meal plans. Make sure your doing cardio at least 3 times a week. If the cardio from the calendar isn’t enough add on 30 mins of extra cardio 3 times/week. Hope that helps!!
Cassey will you make another body part monthly challenge so we can get fully ready for summer?
Hi! I’ve been doing the POP HIIT’s at the gym I have a membership at and I absolutely love them I notice I push through them more than in the videos, I tend to take allot of breaks because I’m not sure when we’re going to stop while with the POP HIIT I know how many reps and what time to go for, while I do want to follow this months calendar would it still be effective if I did a POP HIIT at the gym on the sweatfest days? Or is there something extra I should do in order to keep the same intensity? Thanks a bunch!
So, I’ve noticed everything on here is about almond milk. I am not a fan of almond milk. But I do like lactaid. Can Lactaid be substituted for Almond milk? Is it as good for you as almond milk?
It should be fine. I think Cassey only uses almond milk because she’s lactose intolerant.
Was the almond milk you used unsweetened, or Silk brand? I don’t like either of those, but sweetened or any other brand but Silk (the Silk brand tastes kind of sour to me) are really good 🙂
Lactaid does not have lactose in it wither. What I had wasn’t Silk brand and It was vanilla and sweetened i think. Kind of tasted like cardboard haha
Ok. Then lactaid sould be fine.
I feel sorry for you for not liking almond milk, though, lol. That stuff is my favorite (especially the vanilla and chocolate). 🙂
lol Maybe it was just the brand I had. I will have try another brand. Maybe blue diamond
Hey everyone, I have a question for you all.
Do you think I can substitute running for the sweafest days?
I would still like to run but i don’t think i can do both.
What do you all think? Any Ideas?
I definitely think you can substitute it with running, as long as you’re doing some kind of cardio to burn fat. 🙂
I always run instead of Cardio in this Calendar. 🙂 It’s so much nicer being out in the sun. Swetfest=Running for me – just better. 😀
so basically its the same idea of just torching some calories. Right?
Right!! I’m debating doing the same thing. At least once the weather around here decides to perk up…
Darn. I´m a total beginner and just made 3 of the workouts…. and those were pretty ugly. I think I’ll start with the beginnersworkout calender and will be back with all of you in 4 weeks.
My great inspiration is Nikki who was featured last april ( https://www.blogilates.com/blog/2013/04/16/nikki-transformation/ ). I´m pretty much the same as her before photo RIGHT NOW!
Will download the app soon, I really need some support.
Thank you Cassie!
Big hug from Germany!
You can do it, Kathrin! Good luck!!!
Hahahahahaha! I just opened my email and got the password,and what do I see? A SpongePierre!
Hahahahaha!Nice one Cassey!Happy April fool’s day everyone! Even if it is the 2nd today! O:-)
Hi, I did the beginner’s calendar last month and I am now starting out with this monthly calendar. I only have time to work out late at night and I’ve been going to sleep right after doing the videos. But now I’ve been reading on some fitness websites that it’s absolutely necessary to eat after working out, otherwise your muscles won’t recover? Should I eat something after a late night workout even though I’m not hungry? I definitely want more muscle tone, not to lose muscle, and I don’t have any weight to lose.
Cottage cheese (a half cup) is my go to snack after working out at night before bed. It’s low in fat (well, I get the low fat one obviously) and full of (casein) protein so it takes longer to digest so it gives you something good before conking out. I love cottage cheese, it’s sweet but the tiniest bit tangy and cool and so so good after a hot sweaty workout. 🙂
So… I’m kinda new for this type of calendar.. so do we have to do all of the check boxes or just 3 out of all? You guys do them at once or take breaks between?
Thank you!!!
Hello Felicity! Normally you do all of the videos listed for the day and check off the boxes to get a quick result with no break. since you are new I’d recommend you to do as many as you can, take a little break and go for it again.
I, myself, am doing this as my fourth calender now and I am not good in the cardio (sweatfest), so I need to take short breaks to catch my breath inbetween but it is still effective. 🙂
You can do some stretches in the breaks if you want to take some or need to. I know Cassey likes to tell us to push to our limits but don’t take it too fast. You will get stronger and more persistent by time. so don’t be mad at you when you can’t finish a day or can’t do a move first time, it will get better, you’ll get better. for example I still strugle in side plank and keep falling over. sometimes it works, sometimes not. just don’t give up, take it as it is, accept and come back on. 😉
hope this helped a little. Have fun doing this calender^^
Thank you so much Kathy <3
Hi Cassey! You are amazing! Thanks so much for uploading these videos. They’re easy to do, especially in my dorm. I was wondering, what is the best fitness bracelet out there? I’ve been wanting one, but I dont’ want to buy one that’s too pricey. Which is the best one for its price and qualities? I read that the Fitbit Force has recently been called back so i don’t know what to get anymore
I have the fitbit flex I really like it. It is easy to use and the website and app are really user friendly.
Oh and Cassey did recommend it in one of her cocktail dress series videos and even did a giveaway.
hope that helps.
A week ago I got my tooth pulled.. just today has been the only day that I have felt good. I don’t care with pain or no pain I have decided to take the 30 day ab challenge..
I’m a med student on my surgery rotation, so I wake up super early. Decided to prioritize sleep over exercise this month so I can’t follow the calendar! Planning to hit the workouts hard on my one off day a week. See y’all in May, I hope!
Maybe you can just work in one or two of the videos as your time allows. Just to keep you on your toes. I know with my schedule, I can not always fit in all of them. I also found if I don’t work out my body starts revolting against me. lol
Do what you can, when you can.
Best of luck
Do we do all the workouts on the calendar
yes, but if you are new she also has a beginners calender. may want to start there
Can I follow my own clean eating plan? Or do you HAVE to follow one of Casseys?im so pumped for this month!!!!!
I’m sure you can follow your own plan. Just make sure that you watch your calorie intake, your macros are balanced, and that you’re getting adequate micronutrients 🙂
You can have your own- I do. But eat HEALTHY.
No links for the videos after April 1?
Cassey! It’s 8:09 am in Queensland Australia and I can’t access today’s workout because it is obviously locked until the day changes in the States. Yesterday we had to wait for the password until the afternoon… Getting quite disappointed now, I exercise in the morning when my daughter sleeps and don’t get another chance. Can you please take your fans from the other side of the world into account too please? I’ve followed your journey for two years but this kind of stuff really gets me. I bet all your fans from New Zealand and pasific might be getting upset too.
I also live in Australia and know what you mean. I normally just follow the monthly plans a week after so I won’t be starting April’s calendar until next Tuesday and that way I still have the flexibility to work out when I want, especially in the mornings 🙂
I am from Australia too and just start the calendar a day late so on the second i do the first day of the months workout! that way everything is always loaded and you are still working out with everyone else.
You guys know you can just YouTube search the five videos of the day manually…it takes like 10 seconds.
Hey everyone! 🙂
Question- Where do we enter the password so we can access the April calendar on the blogilates app? Please help!
Thanks <3
hi,
you cant, you have to pay for the calendar on the app xD
EEEEEP SO READY I have class till ten tonight and then im hitting it hard:D
Just completed day 1 and I loved it! But I can’t seem to engage my obliques in any oblique exercise 🙁 I don’t feel the burn or anything!:( can anyone help with any techniques??
Honestly it takes practice. Make sure your form is right. (for example, with the candle burn move or whatever it’s called, make sure your back is straight and you are going to the side instead of like going back at an angle or anything). It’ll take practice. Once you are stronger, you’ll be able to hit the moves better and you’ll feel it more in your obliques.
Oh trust me, you’ll feel it the next day. I barely felt myself engaging my obliques during the workout but when I woke up the next morning, everything hurt ^.^
Hi, Cassey! Could you make the links in the playlist available already? It’s already April 2 on our side of the world.
yeeees i think this month is going to be so awesome! lots of cardio and ab-workouts,…i mean that is perfect 😀
today was such a great start! the last video was pretty hard cause i was so sore from the other videos but i really felt my core working so it is totally worth every second of working out and sweating haha xD
Hey!!
I can’t get the workout playlist to link…. HELP!!
where can I watch the videos for each day??
I´m so ready for aprils workouts!
Can´t wait to wear my new bikini with my new found confidence!
thx a lot cassey!
and for april 15th: lets see how many austrian popsters are there!
Hey Cassey,
I usually work out in the morning about half an hour after i wake up or in the evening at the end of my day.
The post work out meal is situated in the middle of the day. Should i swap it or eat it in that order still?
Thanks.
just eat it after your workout i’d say 🙂
The Blogilates Social Network is happening on 4.15.14.
OMGawd!
YESS!!
YAY!!!!
Ugh! meal plans are so aggravating for me. I have 2 part time jobs, one of which is a bar tending job and I am in college. Sometimes I work 12 hour shifts with no breaks. We are not allowed to eat at either of my jobs. So when I do eat I have to be sneaky and its a bite every now and then. If its in a liquid form it is easier. Therefore, it is hard for me to stick to any meal plan. I would love to see an “on the go meal plan” that tailors to people like me.
i can’t do meal plans either. College just sort of makes it hard for me to prepare things. just eat as clean as you can at the best times. maybe look into some clean smoothie recipes as a meal replacement since it’s easier for you to drink your meals at work. progresso soups are my best friends tbh. granted they’re probably full of stuff that’s not so clean, but you gotta work with what you’ve got
Just watch your calories. You’ll still lose/maintain the weight, but your body composition will be different if you don’t eat clean most of the time.
Thank you both for the input! I’ve been eating as clean as i possible can. I have been using small cans of low sodium V8 for at least one of my 6 meals when I am on the go and that seems to work until it is time to eat again.
Hi Cassey!! I started the past month and I have seen changes in my body. I’m so excited to start this month, yeei. <3
Morning!
I am a little confused on exactly which videos to watch for each day?? There are a few ab videos that are titled 5 best ab exercises…
Just wondering what videos I choose for this month??
Thanks!
Erica 🙂
Erica, the videos are already combined for you at the end of the calendar post, just click the link for each day and you don’t need to look for the videos yourself.
Hey Cassey! The video with the sponge was great, also for any other popsters, you should call the number anyway.. I did just to see what would come up hahaha 😀
Also, SUPER EXCITED for the Blogilates Social Network!!! AHHH
I don’t think my comment posted earlier, but for the 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th and maybe the 19th i cannot do the workout days as i am away, at a caravan with no wi-fi and no room! What exercises can I do instead? I will already be swimming for at least half hour each day, but i don’t want to miss out on workouts so what can i do instead?
Try these! https://www.blogilates.com/printable-workouts/
First of all, HILARIOUS video the sponge clean one, at first I thought I was a thing you’ve found out on TV… LOL
I just finished today’s routine and I must said something, before starting working out today I wasn’t feeling great I was bloated and had stomach ache… I decided to gave your videos a try even if I couldn’t meme it though all of them I could move a little. Well let me tell you, I made all of them I was gas bloated and your videos, specially the “best moves for lower belly” helped a lot. Like I said I finished all, and know I feel new, I can do whatever, I am so full of energy; except maybe on my abs, which may be hurting of soreness a bit
Thanks,
XOXOX
Does this calendar mean I don’t have to do more cardio on the side like Cassey usually suggests for the other months?
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCf-oGFK0A_bB89Z125HU5Ag Go here and I’ve made a play list for each day!! I switched it up so Saturday was my rest day and switched a couple things around for while I’m on vacation, but every thing’s here, easy and ready to go!!
Hi, you don’t start with april first? I see the first day you have is the 4th which is a rest day. So confused.
Hello Cassey!
i found you on youtube 4 days ago and the next day i started your beginners workout calendar, today is my 3rd day, but when this new April calendar came out i started doing both at the same time.
it that okay?
ps. i love your videos, they’re awesome!<3
please answer if you can 🙂
Helloo! Help me
Im really confused,at what time should we workout? Im a high school student. Gonna graduate soon,sometimes i did it at afternoon around 4 or 5 or even 6. But when im in holiday ,i do it at evening around 11. And my question is,is that ok? Can we do it anytime? And can we eat after workouts? Should we eat before workout ? Im really afraid my workouts would become waste if i eat… though i dont eat that much and im trying to eat as clean as possible.. thanks ! Would be appreciate if someone want to answer my question
Hey Cassey! First of all, clean sponge video is HILARIOUS. For a split second I almost thought it was real LOL because THAT’S HOW CRAZY THE WEIGHT LOSS INDUSTRY IS.
Also, this april calendar is PERFECT for me. Seriously. I’ve been wishing for friday to be rest day (it’s my longest day, class-wise) and to focus on abs for, like, the whole of march! lol! (I’ll be kicking myself when my core is in pain but it will also be WONDERFUL.)
Thanks for everything! Can’t wait for the site launch.
xox
I have literally only joined only 2 days ago, but was excited that this months calendar is for abs because that is what i’m mainly focusing on. However I am away from around the 14th to the 17th/18th meaning i will be missing those exercise days for this calendar. Does anyone have any recomendations on what I can do instead? As i do not want to completely miss out of any exercise. I am going to a holdiay park, staying in a caravan park, I will be swimming most days but is there anything else I can do to make up for missing those few days.
Many thanks ^.^
Amazing, you are clairvoyant. I really wanted to focus on my abs and get a good meal plan for happens, because I know I have to eat clean but it’s difficult to me do recipes 🙂 And I really s toned arms that thing apps.
Thanks you so much. I will take a photography to see my progress 🙂 Thank you
Hi I’m new to this monthly calendar so can anyone please tell me if I’m suppose to do all the exercise at once or break them into the day?
I do mine all at once on Friday-Saturday-Sunday.
But as I work during the week I break them in two. The first part during my lunch time, usually the hard ones. And when I come home at night I do what’s left!
Thanks 🙂
I usually do one in the morning, one or two when I get home from work and then the rest before bed. On weekends I split them in to two, just because I lack the attention span to do all at once.
But the best way is to do it all at once:) If you can’t fit it into you schedule its okay to split them!
Hey Cassey 🙂 i have a favor to ask you. Can you publish the playlists earlier? I’m from Germany and do my workout routine in the morning (now it’s 11 pm, but mainly i do the workouts at 9 pm) and it’s terrible to search all the Videos, particulary with the ipad. I think many other Popstars from europe have the same ‘problem’.
I wish you a nice day <3
I’m from Germany too and I usually start with the calendar 1-2 days later 🙂
So every video is up by then and the time difference is nearly washed away ^^
Yes totally agree with you 🙂 I’m from Malta!
same here ^.^ (Austria)
But I don’t understand you. Again (last mounth I wrote the same thing) you can simply go on you tube and search the videos of the day. I know it’s pretty easy when Cassey make all the work for us, but come on, just print the calendar and do the search yourself !!!
She is doing so much things that it’s normal that she can’t be on time for all the world. I’m in Slovenia and I never missed a day because of the links !
Yes! I’m in India and I was just about to ask that!
Agreed! I live in Europe too and I work out in the mornings. It’d be great if the playlists could go up a day earlier. 🙂
Same here! (Portugal)
It’s tough because I usually do my workout as soon as I wake up and because of the time difference sometimes it doesn’t work very well… like today… but then again, the videos and workout calendar are free, so I kind of feel weird if I complain… But yes it would be easier for us, on the other side of the globe, if Cassey could post them at least half day earlier. Not complaining though… Just stating a fact. Actually, I’m very grateful to Cassey for all her hard work to inspire us to work hard and make all of this amazing content available to us for free.
Thanks!
So excited to start April Abs!
I especially LOVE the recovery day change to Friday!!!!! Brilliant!
Thanks for your hard work Cassey!
I’m done last month the beginner workout…NOW….i’m redy for this crazy april, because spring is just started and beach time will be soon…there is no other way – i need to be perfect ar redy for bikini 😀
Good luck for everyone, who enjoy all this 🙂
yeeeeey…. can’t wait! march was such a dreary month around here and I did not feel too encouraged to do the calendar (esp. the on fire series…brrr). April is looking up!
Yeah!! 🙂 1st April – Let’s start!!
Thank you so much Cassey!
looks like an awesome months, Cassey 🙂 since I have knee issues I will do Sweatfast days as much as I can and the moves I am allowed to (sadly no low squats or jumping). gonna love the other days more XD I’ve never been a cardio fan but you always managed to take me through a workout and smile in the end no matter how exhausted I felt 🙂
gotta go now. having a report today. my stomach already reminds me of it. no matter how much times I say “It’s gonna be fine. I can do this” my stomach still cramps on report and exam days >.< and my heart beat is up.
good luck guys!! I wish you all a wonderful AprilAbs!!!!! <3
it’s ay im here with you! i’m trying to recover from a knee injury too so i’m just doing as much as i can. may not be alot but better than none yeah? 🙂
I’m super excited about the new calendar. It’s been a rough week for me and I really want to get back on track with the new plan. Plus, it’s my birthday in april so I got to be super strong and in shape for it 🙂 Thanks Cassey xo
Hey Cassey, I just started watching you’re vids and I think you’re amazing! I am sooo glad this month is AprilAbs! Can’t wait to start! #feelingpumped
Thanks Cassey. Super excited to start this calendar in the morning
Hey Cassey,
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I’m super motivated and I will start this afternoon. Since my wedding is coming closer and closer, I want to be in best shape so I hopefully can succeed with your schedule… By the way, I’m having problems with my lower back, which workout shall I replace?
Love,
Katie
PS: I’m looking forward to Blogilates Social Network…
Hey!! I just want to ask you Cassey, for what can I change the cottage cheese??? It’s because I can’t eat it!
You can substitute it with just all natural yogurt or also vanilla protein powder. If you open the 90-day-meal-plan, I got this info from there 🙂
PS: We have the same name!!
Woo, I’m so pumped! Let’s go, April! Bring it on!
So excited for the BSN! April is gonna be awesome 🙂
Do you do all the exercises for that day or we pick one? And were are the workouts you tube?
Thanks alot Casey for all the activities and calendars you set up each month. Great motivation and inspiration. .. now you have become part of my life. Love you Casey and all of you popstersxx
So excited! 🙂
I am looking forward to #aprilabs since it has a lot of cardio and HIIT in it. I like my body, but I still have some fat on my belly 🙁
it’s gonna be awesome! YAY!
omg so excited that the recovery day was changed to Friday. have been dreaming of this for months!
I know I probs should not be doing this but since you are all having so much trouble here is the password
burnbabyburn
Thanks for posting the password. It’s April 3 and I still haven’t received the email. I’ve diligently checked my SPAM folder too. Maybe I’ll sign up for the newsletter again. That worked for me before although I hope I don’t have to. Anyone else have trouble? I use a Yahoo email
I’m SO EXCITED for the Blogilates Social Network on the 15th!!! I don’t have a smartphone or apple/android capable tablet, so I’ve been feeling out of the loop ever since the app was released. Now I finally get to join in on the Blogilates community!! 😀
EXACTLY my thoughts! I do not own any of these devices too so the release of the blogilates social network makes me soo happy 🙂 !
Can’t wait for the launch! 😀
I’m doing the 90 day plan, how about you guys?
I’m taking measurements today and comparing them to my results at the end of the month 🙂
Hoping to see progress!
<3
The measurements is a great idea! I was thinking of doing the 12 week New Body Makeover plan.
I wanted to do that plan too, but I usually eat what my parents cook, so that plan is a little hard for me. That’s why I’m going to do the 90 day one instead. 🙂
Anyway, no prob and good luck!

Hey I’m new to your site and super excited to get fit and healthy! I’m ready to love my own body and treat it well. Your website is so complete and I’m going to do one of your calendars! One thing though, I can’t seem to open the “workout playlists.”
You can’t open them because Cassey has only added one so far. She adds them as weeks go on, or whenever she needs to
I’m super excited. I started late last month and I LOVE LOVE LOVE your videos and clean eating ideas. I’m planning on making your vegan no bake key lime pie (from Florida, where our specialty is key lime pie). I’m going back home to visit Florida and family in May and I wanna look super good! Since I got married 3 years ago, I gained a little bit of weight and I don’t look like I used to, so I’m really excited to start this new month for a new me! Thanks Cassey 🙂 <3
I’m so excited to start this! This is my MONTH!
Sooo pumped about this month! I’ll be turning 26 in April (woooo) and am hoping to really kick things in gear. I started Blogilates again in March and have been eating pretty clean, but I’m looking to clean it up further and be more devoted to following the calendar instead of subbing workouts when I “don’t feel like” doing the assigned ones.
I’m also PUMPED about the social network and am really looking forward to see what that entails.
Thanks so much for all your hard work, Cassey! <3
Hey there! Are the links deliberately absent and it opens tomorrow or is this a glitch?
Thanks!
No Cassey adds to the workout list when she needs to. She has added one so far for the day. As the days or weeks go on she adds the rest of the lists 🙂
Do I have to follow a meal plan? or can I just eat healthy?
Just eat healthy 🙂
I want this to be for once and for all the month that I am completely committed! I’ve been eating healthy for the last two weeks (like 90% healthy) and i feel more motivated than ever. Not to mention that prom is on June 21st and I feel really excited to fit in my prom dress just the way I’ve always dreamed. Thank you Cassey for taking your time on making this amazing calendars, thank you for the workout videos, thank you for the cheap clean eats, thank you for the motivation (Whenever I feel like stopping on a run, I here your voice inside my head telling me “Keep Going!”) And well, mostly thank you for everything you’ve done for us<3 You saved me from my eating disorder and I cannot be more thankful, you taught me to love myself 🙂
Hi Cassey! I’m super excited to start the #aprilabs workout calendar. I really want to follow the 12 Week #NewBodyMakeover but it’s really hard to find all of the passwords for all of the different weeks, especially since they were posted in so many different places. I was wondering if maybe you could just have one password for all of the weeks so that they would be easier to access. I’m not sure if that made any sense, ha ha. Thanks Cassey, I’m so ready for April!
-Sarah
Yes, if you go to the page where the newbodymakerover is, each time you click on a week the pw is there for you to punch in
Hey Cassey !!
This might sound crazy or stupid, but Easter is coming and like all the teens (which I’m one xd) I want to eat all the chocolate eggs that I want for a day.
Can I ?
Do you even have to ask that….of course, but in , in moderation. Don’t deprive yourself love
I’m new to this Month challenge, do I find the videos on Youtube that are required from the April calender?
Yes. Up in the workout playlist! Cassey adds in the days as the days or weeks go on. You can always search in YouTube for the video aswell if you like
Hiii! I was really worried about finding the secret password because I hadn’t gotten an e-mail although I had subscribed last month. I thought maybe it was hidden in a video or something like that. I had to sign up again in order to get the e-mail. All is good now. I just wanted to know if I have to repeatedly sign up in the future or that was just an error. Thanks!
Hey 🙂 Haha, I thought the same thing and was searching for clues in the videos and then I decided to subscribe again too. But I wanted to check her twitter once more before subscribing and hmm what do you know, there was a tweet saying that it would take a couple of hours for us to get the email and well, I waited and now I’ve received the email 🙂
So yeah, I doubt you need to sign up again the future 🙂 You probably just need to wait a little longer 😀
Cos you know there are tons of Popsters and the poor computer is probably overloaded by our sheer sze, haha XD
Anyway, have fun doing the calendar!
xoxo
Alright. So Cassy i really love your workouts and meal plans but i need help. I got a tear in the pattelar tendon of my knee and cant do any motions with jumoing or standing for long periods of time. I need a way to get in some cardio and feel the burn. What workouts should i do on other parts of my body. Please help me! I am eating healthy and am trying to do ab and arm workouts but i cant figure out what to do as cardio? Much Love!!!
I can’t stress this enough. Let the injured place heal! Don’t go about adding pressure or working the place as you can make it worse!! Just do upper workouts like your arms, or abit of chest. Take it easy, listen to your body
Hello, I am new to this and wanted to know how do I start? Just go on YouTube and search each video listed for the day? Sorry if this is dumb. Thank you :))

all the videos are listed there :), if you have no fitness background you should do this begginers calendar to get used to working out, otherwise start with this month’s one, it’s tough and maybe you have to rest don’t worry it happens to all of us. Hope this helped. XX. Oh and make sure to really really stretch (she has stretches videos too) just do one or two 🙂

It’s not dumb! Don’t worry about it! 🙂 Cassey will post all the videos you are going to be doing for the day on this page. She has already written some of the days right under ”<3 Cassey" However, they do not have links yet. Do you see where I'm talking about? If you do, once she puts up the link for it, you can click on it and just hit play on all the videos. 🙂 I hope this helped. 😀
Hi Cassey, love everything you do. Been following you for two months. I have your app and I subscribe via iTunes for it monthly but no videos appear in the workout calendar. I realise this is a technical problem. Do you know a way for me to view your workouts in the app (I cam view the free ones just not the paid ones I subscribe too)
Thanks so much
Email blogilatesapp@veam.co! It should be working!
Thank you. Have emailed.
sooooooooo excited
