Top 10 Workouts of 2013
Top 10 Workouts of 2013
Hey guys!!
Can you believe the new year is just around the corner? I mean, what!? Where did 2014 even come from? I can remember like it was yesterday when I moved down to LA…when I had my first ever NYC Meetup…crazy! Then I got my hair ombre’d and released our first ever Blogilates Official App! It’s been a wild year and I can’t believe it’s all coming to an end! (Well I guess Xmas is coming first, but seriously, way too close!) Looking back, what are some things you accomplished? Sometimes we all need to take a moment and realize how far we’ve come and grown as a human being. Life just whizzes by so fast but you really gotta stop and take notice of what you’ve achieved. It’s 365 days that you’ve lived. What is your story?
As you ponder that, let me share with you some of your fave Blogilates workouts from 2013. A big thing for me this year was focusing on creating better videos for you guys in terms of content and quality. I was able to play around more with creative ideas (like the Great Gatsby Workout and my second Hunger Games Workout) – and I enjoyed every second of it. Let’s recap on the most popular vids of the year!
1. Your Fave Ab Workout: “Abs on Fire!”
2. Your Fave Cardio Workout: “Spring Fling: Fat Loss Cardio”
3. Your Fave Inner Thigh Workout: “Clarity Challenge”
4. Most Challenging Ab Workout: “ABC Abs”
5. Your Fave Butt Lifting Workout: “Butt Lift & Slim Thighs | POP Pilates Beach Series”
6. Funniest Workout: “Psy Gentleman Challenge”
7. Or wait. Maybe this was the funniest. “8 Min Abs Audition Tape”
8. But who can deny dogs working out!!? “K90X: Dogilates”
9. Your Fave Song Challenge Video: “Roar Challenge for Abs & Inner Thighs”
10. Your Fave Stretch Video: “Feel Good Soul Stretches”
*BONUS* Best Movie Workout? Not sure. It’s pretty close. Can you comment below and tell me which one you enjoyed the most?
A) Great Gatsby Cardio Dance!
B) Train like a BEAST Look like a BEAUTY Workout
C) The Victor’s Workout | Hunger Games
Alrighty guys! Those are some of your fave workouts from 2013! Did I miss anything you particularly loved?

Love you,
Cassey
PS – What are you guys doing for New Year’s? I usually stay at home and watch the clock tick 12 and then text a few friends. Yeah, I super exciting, right? But this year, I’m gonna be doing something a little more adventurous! I’m headed to the “Passport to the World 2014” celebration back in my home city of San Fran! I’ll be with some close pals including my lovely friend Wendy from Wendyslookbook.com! Now I’m on a mission to find a super cute dress for the event. Yay and maybe…shoes!?? I’ll keep you updated on what I find. It’s been a spectacular year and I think we all deserve a nice celebration! Would love to see you there if you’re in town 🙂

THE VICTOR’S WORKOUT ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!
You have such awesome enthusiasm, you really inspire me and everyone else around you.
Hahahaha! Cassey, this has been such an amazing and successful year, thank you for all the time and dedication you have put into us 🙂 my favourite movie workout is definitely The Victor’s Workout, I love doing it on the non-cardio days, it just really allows me to go all out and I really feel the burn! I also love doing the Fat Burning Cardio Warmup before every day’s workouts. The POPHIITs are also amazing and I loooooveeee the Summertime Sadness legs cardio-ballet! Thank you for everything Cassey! Loads of love from Dubai xxx
I discovered Pop Pilates in 2013! Thank you so much for your inspirational workouts. Loved doing the Calendars, challenges and the Dietbet with you all!
My favourite video was the Lana Del Rey cardio song challenge. So pretty and really motivates me!
Thank you for inspiring me to be fitter in 2013. Here’s to a healthy 2014!

Great Gatsby was most definitely my favorite!
My favourite is the great gatsby workout! You had many amazing workouts this years Cassey! You’re doing a fabulous job! <3
Btw the 3 movie ones I think I liked “The Great Gatsby” one most >3<
I love the 'Feel good soul stretches' and I have to add that 'Relax with me' was as awesome! Maybe even a little more because of the background. But that might be just me.
As I said I love them both!
Great Gatsby all the way!!! But love hunger games too! xo
I really like the Butt Lift and Slim Thighs workout! I do it almost everyday 😀
I do the Drive By Inner Thighs workout almost everyday as well xD You make them actually funnnnnnn
^-^
Great Gatsby al the way!!! But love hunger games too! xo
I love Abs on Fire (I do it religiously) and Gatsby is my favorite movie workout. It’s so fun and the music is really inspiring!
Thanks for a great year Cassey and to 2014 being a year of more amazing workouts!
Just started watching and absolutely love the enthusiasm you have in your videos! Can’t wait to start doing some of these!
I love back on fire. Encouraging, the Good Mornings feel great, and your apartment is beautiful in the morning light. I do it at least weekly.
If you haven’t completely stopped the Cheap Clean Eats Videos you should do one on clean hot wings and buffalo wild wings! Love you Cassey;)
My favorite.. So hard to choose they were all very well put together and fun to do… They were all amazing, and I really liked the Great Gatsby one for the cardio and the fun of it. 2013 was a great year for me too. I watch the ball drop on the T.V in NY square. Next year we are probably going to be there in person, but this year, nah. So I go in my parents room, watch that, and when the ball drops we all scream happy new year, then I go to bed. Haha. So I’m pretty boring too. I also can’t wait for you to do more workout videos and for me to actually achieve my resolution of being really fit. I’m already muscular and metabolism boosted form gymnastics, but I want my healthy eating and workouts back so I can’t wait for that :)! I hope you are excited too! Happy new year and Merry Christmas Cassey!
How about our favorite HIIT or POP HIIT workout! 😀
I love the Hunger Games!!!
If your starting the newbodymakeover in january how would you go about doing that?
my fave workout was the Great Gatsby Cardio dance 😀
The Great Gatsby WO is definetely my favorite!! Love dancing, but also I love the way you look in the Train like a beast video!!! Please, do more dancing videos, they are my favorites, for the top ten I would include the Gangnam Style WO, OMG soooo much fun!!!
Cassey, you have changed my life!!, I don’t know how to thank you, the only way that I can possibly show my love is working out every day, eating clean and enjoying my life, all thing I’ve learned from you. Thank you very much!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I can’t wait to see the new projects for 2014!!!
Train Like a Beast, Look like a Beauty is my ABSOLUTE favorite of any workout! I love it!
Great Gatsby!! Loved the dance… it’s something different and SO much fun!
My favorite movie video is definitely the Great Gatsby Dance. I love dancing, and this one is particularly good because there was also a rehearsal video to learn the steps. I like the choreography. You filmed the video creatively, with appropriate and appealing backgrounds.
Great Gabsy!! I didn’t even realize how fast my heart beat was going until the end, I loove it :)… Also for top 10 w/o SEXY BROOM BURN was the funniest and top leg workout for me..So creative and fun!! I always felt the “burn” at the end 🙂
I loved the Victor’s workout! It was lots of fun. As for new years…my guy has a special surprise planned, so I am excited.
My fave was Great Gatsby! 🙂
Gatsby FTW! Always look forward to that one.
Happy holidays, Cassey!
Probably the great gatsby but train like a beast is definitely a close second…love them both…this year really loved the hysteria love handles, skinny leggings, dance with me abs and the gangdam style workout…or was that last year!! Thanks..looking forward to the 2014 ones!!! Happy christmas
You are Awesome!! x
I ador B – Train like a BEAST look like a BEAUTY so I vote for B <3
I choose A, because I love dancing, and that’s very cool to exercise at the same time!
Thank you for everything you’ve done for us during the year, I wish you more exciting projects to work on next year!
I love love loooooove Great Gatsby workout! It makes me deliriously happy every time!
My favorite is A) Great Gatsby Cardio Dance. Well, the Gatsby Dance lesson – I still get lost at full speed, but it is so much fun!
Totally B 🙂
LOVED the hunger games workout, especially the kickboxing move, that was so fun i could actually pretend i was in the arena and i tried to show my super cool skills 🙂 but i mostly ended up falling over aah
I love all three movie workouts!!Dance cardios are super fun so I love the great gatsby dance workout!!Also i loved the “Train like a beast look like a beauty” workout!!But my vote goes to the hunger games workout!
i loved train like a beast look like a beauty workout 🙂 i was so excited when it came out because that’s my favorite inspirational saying from Cassey <3 victors workout is a close second since it got my heart rate up real good lol
Cassey you’ve really made me realize how much i’ve accomplished in 2013 by reading this post. blogilates is responsible for making me the strong and healthy person i am today. i am so much more confident and whenever i doubt my self i can hear your voice telling me to believe in myself. Cassey you are one of the most valuable influences i’ve ever had in my life so far <333 i can always count on you to make me push myself and go beast mode in not only my workouts but in life in general! 😉
Totally love the “Train like a BEAST Look like a BEAUTY Workout”. Very creative and challenging at the same time! Keep it up Cassey! 😀
I really liked the power ring workouts, can you do more of them please? And I vote Hunger Games.
Great gastby cardio dance workout 🙂 So fun!!!!
i LOVE LOVE arms on fire! It’s my go-to arm workout. I can finally do all the oil rigger reps and love the feeling of getting stronger. Still can’t quite keep up with all the tricep dip variations, but hey, it’s something to work towards.
Cassey, that’s so unfair!!! I love all of those, how can I choose one? Actually, how can I choose my fav from any of your videos?
All I know is that I finish them almost dying, and five minutes later I want to do another one!
I just can’t wait for new videos from you! Maybe then I can find a favorite one? ;D
Happy hollidays! 😀
train like a beast look like a beauth workout!!!!

Cassey, you totally confuse me because it seems like you are always moving into a new apartment.
Love Train like a BEAST Look like a BEAUTY Workout!
You are so good ! 🙂 I love all of your workouts ! ♥
ℓα ℒιcσrηe – ℒa vie est ℓa petite ℓicorne.
My favorite movie workout was the Great Gatsby Cardio Dance! It was so fun. 🙂
Abs on Fire is the best video ever. I have guy friends who swear by it now that I’ve showed it to them. I noticed flatter abs within 2 weeks of doing it (3x/week). Thanks for all you do!
XO/Kelly @ Our Cone Zone
mmm.. it’s hard, but I vote for Great Gatsby Cardio Dance!! It’s so funny:)
Yeah, another year is going away, and this makes me think about what i did… I hope the 2014 will be full of good surprises 🙂 I wanna know what you’ll wear!! Much love <3
the hunger games one! best for toning and cardio! and def feel that the next day!
My favorite movie workout was The Great Gatsby. I liked all three movie workouts. TGG is based on 1920’s dance and that just sets it apart.
I love the Train like a Beast Look Like a Beauty workout. And am so glad ABC abs is challenging for more people than just me!
Cassey!!! Can you please do your next song challenge to HAPPY by Pharrell 😀 I like it’s very fitting because you are probably the happiest person I have ever seen :D!!

Yes! That’s a great idea! Please do that, Cassey.
I gotta be different and say the Victor’s Workout is my favorite movie workout 😀 I’m a huge Hunger Games fan and I was so glad you did this one 🙂 some of my faves are there 🙂
To be honest, I always find myself dreading ABC abs everytime it came out in the beginer’s calendar…
Definitely Gatsby, I couldn’t stop smiling through it!
I love the beauty and the beast one!

maybe next year i’ll go abroad and partyyyy hahaha
HAVE LOOOOOTS OF FUN LOVE THAT SHOW LOOKS AMAZING ENJOY IT !
THANKS FOR THIS YEAR <3
I was surprised by the Victor’s Hunger Game workout.. my legs were screaming when I was done. I just discovered your blog/workout videos in November (2013) and after reading all the great comments and success stories signed up for your 12 week body makeover challenge. I had a baby in July and have been dealing with the image issues of what’s left. I’m happy to say that I’m down 5lbs so far (rough weeks 2 and 3) but pretty excited for the remainder of the challenge! So thank you!
And I’m not a new years eve person. Even before having a baby. I like to go to bed regularly and wake up to a brand new year.
Train like a beast!!!!
I love the roar challenge and beauty and the beast challenge
Hi Cassey, well….. I found you this year!! <3 What makes you bootyful was my first Blogilates workout and I was hooked! I vote for ..definitely Train like a BEAST Look like a BEAUTY Workout. And I love loveeee legs for days cardio ballet challenge, muffin top massacre, heart on fire, and skinny leggings workout!! I do 8 min abs and inner thighs clarity almost every single day!!
My favorite movie workout was (B) Train like a BEAST look like a BEAUTY !!
I love ab challenges ! Also the video was very well put together, love that you found an authentic dress to wear during the video.
I’m voting for B) Train like a Best WO too. I love Disney and this WO was really challenging, too (was so sore + out of breath afterwards).
Unfortunately I still don’t get along with that Great Gatsby WO. I’m just so untalented in Dancing that I never manage to follow along the steps, xD :’)
LOL I feel the same about the Great Gatsby workout.
I have been following the work out calendar for december and everything so far. I cant seem to keep the weight off and its not like I eat a lot – the normal calorie intake for me is about 800 – 1000. I am 172cm and weight 62kg, but over the summer i was 55kg (the weight I have been for years). Its not like i am just tonning because I have always been a very active person. Its only been the last few months that I have put on a tonne of weight. Do you have any advice?
The reason, you can’t keep weight off is that you eat too little. You should be eatimg around 1800-2000 kcal, especially if you are working out regurarly. Your body needs fuel for your normal functions, organs, brain… if you will keep going this way, you can have some serious health issues. Your body protects itself by not letting you drop the weight. You can’t drive a car without gass and your body can’t work without right nutrition. Count your BMR and start eating properly. Trust me.
Eating too few calories can wreak havoc on your metabolism. Your body goes into starvation mode and rather than burning fat retains it for emergency use. I have lost 70 lbs over several years, and I started severely restricting my calories at one point. It made weight loss harder. No one should be eating fewer than 1200 calories a day. Also, look at what kinds of foods you’re eating. The quality of your calories is just as important as quantity–800 calories of processed foods won’t treat your body the same as 800 calories of clean food. Hope that helped!
Thanks! Okay I’ll take in your advice and see if it makes a difference. Im just confused because I haven’t changed my eating patterns (I’ve always generally had the same diet) and i generally eat clean 😀 But i’ll increase my calorie uptake and see what happens!
A – great gatsby cardio dance 🙂 I love it!
LOVE the Victor’s Workout !!!! :DDDD
Great Gatsby cardio dance!!
I think I most enjoyed Great Gatsby.. Even when you lose track of the moves.. it’s fun to just freestyle and shake it all out!
Thanks for a year of AMAZING fun workouts.
Laurel. x
To tell you the truth, my fav was ABC abs cos now i can do it anywhere but come back to do it with you because it’s soooooo fun! 🙂
