  2. d says:

    if i can’t fully complete this from the beginner’s day 1, should i still go to day 2 or complete this first before moving on?

  4. Rylie says:

  7. Nancy says:

    Yay! So glad I finished! Feeling good

  8. Paula says:

    I’ve following you for some time on instagram but hadn’t actually checked your page or your videos! This was my first day on the beginners planning and I loved it!! Thank you so much, I look forward to seeing more of you!
    ps: loved the mashup songs on the background

  9. Diane says:

    Great class, Thank U! Day 1

    Day 1

  11. tammy lynn says:

    I wish I could turn off the background music. It is really distracting and annoying.

    1. Sunny says:

      Yeah I really can’t concentrate on what she’s saying, I’m gonna have to do something else, it’s too distracting. If it’s possible to edit it out please do. Please please please!

      1. McK says:

        I don’t think you’re gonna get her to edit the pop out of Pop Pilates! It’s in the name!

  12. Liz says:

    1st day done!

  13. Inge says:

    First day done! I literally had no balance with the exercises on your side😅

  14. evelynnhli says:

    First day done!!

  18. Jessi says:

    Cool

  19. Sara says:

    First day working out in a long time and my friend recommended this blog. I loved it, but I may or may not have been screaming at the leg workout lol. Loved your encouragement through the whole thing, it really helped me stay focused. Thanks for everything!

  20. Jody says:

    It’s been a really long time since I exercised at all and I don’t think I even realized just how out of shape I had gotten until trying this. Dying. Thanks for being so encouraging throughout this video and assuring us throughout that we would improve!

  21. Amitha says:

    I love how Cassey keeps telling me that I will eventually get more flexible and stronger during her videos

  22. Karen says:

    I died… BUT NOW I’M REBORN AS A FITNESS MONSTER!
    But foreals, if all would have been here practicing with me, it would seem like a comedy show! I failed at everything but I know I’ll get better 🙂

  23. JO says:

    My body feels soooooo good! Loved it!

  24. Sarahi says:

    Just started and love it already

  25. Jenny says:

    Loved it!
    So excited to get back into it!

  26. Grace says:

    how many reps should we do?

  27. Nessie says:

    All done! Aaah I feel so refreshed after that, it’s like my body just let out a breath of relief! I missed working out, looking forward to tomorrow! ❤

    1. Manaswini says:

      +1
      I had stopped working out for a while and this one was such a great way to restart! 😀

  28. ESER says:

    I am starting over since medical problems. I love how Cassey’s workouts can look easy but still kill your muscles, shaping them for the better.

  29. Ali says:

    First day done ! I Feel so motivated !

  30. Sami says:

    Third times the charm. Lets start this calendar again and gain control of my body.

    1. ESER says:

      Keep it up!

  31. Mandy says:

    After giving birth to my first child I felt the irge to get fit again. I started out with the regress gymnastics at my midwife’s complemented by yoga and swimming. Nevertheless, during the video I recognized how much I still have to do to become fit again. What a burn!

  32. Tess says:

    i got really anxious about going to the gym but feel like this helps me just get back on track slowly because ive been having a downfall with my first year of college and working out 🙁

  33. Nikki says:

    Coming back after a long break…this burns so good! The leg circles were torture but I can’t wait to get stronger

    1. ESER says:

      My second leg wanted to die during the leg circles 😭

  34. Natasha says:

    Thank you so much for all of your free help (calendars and other printables). 💛

  35. ESER says:

    That was an amazing workout to start the begInners calendar with.

  36. Micheala says:

    So I have just started this today! It was pretty difficult for me, although I only had a baby a couple of months ago so my muscles aren’t what they used to be. I feel really good afterwards! I’m going to push and push myself to keep going and try and finish the 28 days.

  37. Kate says:

    I used to do Blogilates workouts when I started college in 2012. I ended up getting really invested in my fitness and health and I was really consistent for years! For the last year or two though, no matter what I did, I couldn’t motivate myself to start again – especially given that I work a physical job on my feet all day.

    So glad I remembered this wonderful place exists.

    ps – for those tiny leg circles, does anyone else BURN in their lower legs instead of thighs?? I got a little tired in the glutes but for real my lower legs were on fire and I had to take breaks.

    1. ESER says:

      I burned next to my hips.

    2. J. S. says:

      I had severe burn in my lateral upper & mid thigh. I don’t understand why

  38. LucieJerome says:

    love it

  39. Jess says:

    Just started again after a huge break and I am excited but nervous to start again. I did feel a bit unmotivated as I have lost all my ability and strength but hopefully it will get better 🙂

  40. Elaine says:

    Starting this exciting journey today!

  41. Berrie says:

    I’ve been struggling with pilates after a loooong break, so I decided to go back to basics today and I must say I feel good. 😀 Hopefully after this month, I will be able to get back on Tracks! 😀

  42. mchllcho says:

    Starting my Pop Pilates journey today! I really want to give it my all and stick to the 4 week beginner’s plan. I wish you all the best.

  43. Nicole says:

    Starting the 30d challenge today – looking forward to getting back into pilates and sticking to the plan!

  44. Vanessa says:

    Yayy! First day done!

  45. Susie says:

    Great work out! As a beginner I felt it was challenging but attainable. I’m into it and now look forward to doing more.

  46. Stacey says:

    Day 1 done! That was kind of hard. I am so out of shape

  47. Nicole says:

    Day 1 completed!

  48. BloggyD18 says:

    Completed a whilst ago! Great stuff!

  49. Sckyeee says:

    Ahhhhhh first day back after a while, I forgot how much I loved working outttt!

  50. sarah robertson says:

    First day today loved it thank you see you tomorrow

  51. Madelayna says:

    I did this workout yesterday and really enjoyed it 😀 I love your positivity and your smile 🙂 the only thing is that I woke up today with my glutes and obliques sore which is expected of course but man was it hard to sit on the toilet. And when I lifted my coffee mug for a drink, my obliques were screaming at me haha! Please keep up your amazing work <3

  52. genuinelyrosie says:

    Awesome workout, loved it, came home after a long day and really needed all the stretching and movement….yay!

  53. Aimée says:

    Thank you Cassey!!! What a great video! Really enjoyed it all the way from France! This was day 1 for me and I feel AMAZING after completing this workout!

  54. Teddie says:

    Mother of 2 gorgeous girls, definitely need help. I hope this challenge will really get me back in shape. Wish me luck

  55. June20 says:

    I’m so out of shape. Started on 2nd day of Feb calendar and was dying. Decided i should complete beginners 1st before the monthly.

  56. Maggie says:

    February first 2019 and first day down! I have started this challenge so many times and never get past the first week 😝😝 but this time I’m gonna finish!!!! I always get cramps in my feet when I point my toes lol just me!.?

  57. Bruna says:

    I just can’t get through this workout. It just hurts so much I wanna cry, my legs feel like rock after the mini circles making the next moves impossible. And I won’t even mention the arms series. I’m very frustrated.

    1. June20 says:

      Same. Tried it this afternoon and couldn’t make it past the 3rd move. I think I’m going to 1st watch the entire video to get the moves down and do some warmup stretches then try again this evening when I’m more prepared.

    2. Kimberhly says:

      OMGosh. Bruna, I began to worried that I was alone in my experience! I also couldn’t get past the mini circles!! I absolutely LOVE Cassey, but she does the circles (and all the moves) so effortlessly, fast, and for so long, I can’t seem to keep up. 😕 Only halfway through those circles, and my legs and hips were already too heavy for the next move. And this is just Day 1! 😣 Maybe I need a really, REALLY beginners workout. I’m going to keep trying though.

  58. mjancaitis24 says:

    Started the beginner workout calendar. I tried to do the regular workout calendar but I finally accepted that I’m just not strong enough. So I figured I just need to start somewhere.

  59. Monica says:

    Hi just started day 1 today and was abit throne of by the fact that it sems like there were to song playing at once in the background

  60. maisugarcookie says:

    Day 1…check! Death of the tiny circles…check! Still made it through my own way yippee!

  61. Olivia says:

    I just restarted the beginners workout calendar today (I had started it at the beginning of October, but was thrown off by Homecoming weekend so I thought I’d just pick it back up from the beginning) and I was actually able to do all of the moves, start to finish! I got about half way through the calendar the first time, and I felt like I wasn’t actually getting stronger–I couldn’t do all the moves of a lot of the workouts and it was discouraging, but I was able to do everything in this one the second time around. Just a really nice feeling to be able to focus on my form AND get all the moves done!

  62. Esserd89 says:

    I gave birth 5 months ago and still need to loose 4 kg. So i decided to do some workouts. I follow your fb while i was pregnant but didnt do any workout than. So now i have given birth i wanted to try your videos. I started with the October calender but that was hard!!! Than I saw this beginners calender. Next morning I tried the first video and that one was hard to!! Especially the exercise with the legs.
    My whole body is sore and today I need to do the abs workout video. Wish me luck!!

  63. Nana says:

    I gained weight recently so I started working out randomly till I downloaded the calendar and did this workout. To be honest I cried during this exercise because I wasn’t able to do some moves, but after I finished I felt really good and now I’m even more excited to continue ! Just wanted to let you guys know that you’ll get through this no matter how bad it felt to not be in shape.

  64. Mwiche Siwingwa says:

    So I’m doing this work out again just because I want to get into the routine of working out. I decided to wake up at 6 a.m. so I can work out and I ended up working getting up but, I felt so sluggish but at the end of this work out I felt energized which is great for me because I’ve been hitting snooze on my alarm to exercise for the past week or so and today is the first day that I actually got up to workout now it took me longer than I wanted because I didn’t actually start working out until like 6:48 because I was so sluggish but, this is a mini victory for me.

  65. Michelle says:

    I am proud to say that I am starting the beginners workout Calendar again and I love this first video. I miss the Blogilates videos so much. This can be a tough work out, but Casey will get you through it!!!

  66. Lotte says:

    Today I started school again, and I wanted to kick off with a heathy habit. I loved this work out for day one of the beginners calendar. It was a little tough at times but I can’t wait to feel stronger! 🙂

  67. Roxana says:

    I love this workout ♥ great for beginners, and also great when you have lost the habit of working out and want to get back on track ! Easy, fun and positive, with all the important moves 🙂 thank you Casey !

  68. kp_khera says:

    Cannot believe I’m on day 27 today. Just. Wow.

  69. Kudrat says:

    Cannot believe I’m on day 27 now. Just. Wow.

  70. Reaghan says:

    FINALLY in the right headspace and mindset! Tried to start with the August calendar today, 1 Aug 2018, and realised I’m an Absolute Beginner! Just completed Day 1 feeling great and lost my headache! Looking forward to the rest of this month. Thank you, Cassie! 😘😘

  71. Ellie says:

    Excited to find this website and beginner pilates! Starting with Day 1 today!

  72. Anni says:

    i once started with the blogilates calendar and stopped within the last week….which was really stupid. during stress in uni and bad feelings i forgot i much fun it was. Now i am starting again. i put some weight on…and im am so depressed about it. but i am so tired of being negative about myself too.

  73. Aapje says:

    Found the calendar yesterday and my first thought was: I’ll start the 1st of August. No way, no more excuses! So I started today on day 1 🙂 Really excited to get in shape!

    1. Olivia says:

      I’m starting today as well!

  74. Jade says:

    I have the same problem, I find it hurts less if I go outside on a soft patch of grass ☺️

  75. amandawells says:

    It seems my hips are really hurting while doing the leg exercises and I’m not sure if this is normal? But it makes it impossible to complete all of the reps

  76. Tswinters says:

    Just started after not working out for months! Hoping to get stronger and eat better!

  77. Regal says:

    I did the other beginners calendar last fall, started running, got an injury and fell off the wagon. Happy to find this new calendar and get back in the habit. Loved the mermaid stretch at the end!!

  78. Lynz says:

    Ugh. I’m pregnant and had to quit my hot yoga habit, so now that the nausea has gotten a bit better, figured I’d try this – used to do the workout calendar, but this is lower intensity. Things I can’t do: lie on my back, do crunches. And this video starts with something I can’t do, moves on to something I can’t do, and then goes to something else I can’t do 🙁 I guess I’ll get back to pop pilates after the baby arrives.

  79. Em says:

    I finally decided to do it! Been watching and doing videos once in a while, but I’ve decided to commit!

  80. Bruna says:

    Omg, this is the third time I try beginners calendar… In the other versions this was also the first video and I always suffer so much on the arm exercises… Hope it gets easier while I keep practicing, I don’t want to quit again.

  81. Leixia says:

    Thanks for this program ! I really enjoy this workout and I’m ready to follow this workout plan !

  82. Jill Costello says:

    I really worked out my legs well but I can’t seem to hold my tummy in when I exhale during workouts so I don’t feel like I’m doing a good job working out my core:(

  83. Laura says:

    Hey Cassey love the video! Just wondering, has anybody else complained about their shins hurting during those butt/leg exercises? Especially the top leg with those mini circles. I wasn’t sure if I was laying down wrong or something but wanted to know!

    1. maisugarcookie says:

      Mine did too 🙂 it went away after I finished the video though.

  84. Dabloo says:

    Lets go people!

  85. Jen says:

    Yes starting the month of June right!! Thanks so much for this I’m ready to get back to where I was a couple of months ago

  86. Okena says:

    I made it through! There was a few laughs at my struggles but I know if I keep going these muscles will win out. Excited!

  87. Leah says:

    Oooo that leg burn! This was my first ever Blogilates workout and it was great.

  88. ashsbigcookie says:

    Definitely a great video to start out the beginner´s series! Thanks a lot!

  89. crazycarrie06 says:

    I actually really love this workout! It’s a great full body – my legs really feel it after the round of leg exercises!
