I felt super discouraged after doing this yesterday because of the last 5 minutes, but I’ve decided that I’m going to do those last 5 minutes every day until I can get through it without stopping 💪🏽
For me Cassey is the best and one and only. I Love that she always comes with new ideas , talks and motivates us while she' s working out (almost no one other in yt does that) and her positivity
As I was about to skip today's workout, Cassey uploads this. I guess that means no skipping today. Need to graduate this level, since graduation is the theme of the month (I just successfully defended my master's thesis a week ago)!!!
Congratulations, @Saara Rissanen! It’s great that you’ve accomplished earning a Master’s Degree. My undergraduate degree was exhilarating and hard so I can’t even imagine all of your work ethic to earn a Master’s Degree. Good luck in your work/career. Greetings from Chicago 🙂
I know this is probably not a big deal but i literally just completed this properly for the first time!!! I've been trying every second day for 3 weeks and struggled with the last five minutes to not rest from plank but just then i did it!!! I'm going to keep doing it a couple more days before trying level 3 😭😭😍😍😂🙌🥰 Thanks Cassey!!!! X
@@kellybella1004 hi! Yes I did. I still do level 3 often along with her other level 3 workouts and I walk daily and attempt crossfit (only once a week cause am wimp). From doing the level 3 of this video consistently and no less than twice a week for a year my entire core is nice and toned including the sides. However if I've been eating junk food too much it shows no matter how much i do this, so i try and eat well 80% of the time too. It is great. i sometimes think my body becomes used to it so i switch it up with other things and sometimes have a week or two not doing it. But for sure this workout is worth the initial pain!!
I was working out before the pandemic but started blogilates in May last year... enjoying most of the videos Cassey is giving us... there are so many!!
i don’t think i would have made it through this workout without casseys support the whole way through. it really helps when you tell us that we can do this!! thank you cassey ☺️☺️
Cassey's like "hold that plank! Don't go on your knees" But I'm like: failing & collapsing after 5 seconds. That was so damn intense!!! How do you work your abs for years yet feel so weak on some moves!? Ugh, guess I need to do more plank exercises and do even more core workouts than I'm used to! (I am dreading level 3, now)
I literally salute her... -me-crying and making weird faces in pain during moves.. And Cassey when she is in pain she smiles and look so ...so...so... gorgeous
Ah Yayyy level2 is much more fun than the complete beginner one, and I love how Cassey emphasizes the proper position for the neck when doing abs facing forward. Absolutely sweaty in this workout
I had to take a break several times during the last 5 minutes. Gonna do this several times before progressing to level 3! I already did level 1 three times, and since this is way harder, I might need 5 times total😅
@@solar0wind same iIdid level one 3-4 times and I'm about to do this one for the first time and I'm honestly scared TwT I have a feeling I'll need to do it everyday for at least a week before even considering moving to the next level :')
In all honesty, I didn't get through the last 5 minutes but I'm hoping soon I will and then your motivation would sound satisfying! Update: I do this workout with ease now and I'll start level 3 tomorrow!
Cassey I used to hate ab work couldn't even do ten minutes now I've been doing your calendar since August! It's amazing ! I can get through videos and I have less back pain thank you :)
Cassey is forever love ❤️❤️ we will finish this month strongly 💪 Also . today's abs workout was insane.. 🔥 I did it with little bit of rest but it all worth it .. Stay blessed sister 😇 Lots of love 😘 - A big virtual hug from india.
Been a popster since 2016. No one else on YT compares. I love how Cassey always puts emphasis on form in EACH video. Really makes a difference. Love you Cassey!!!
I LOVE this series!! It's so wonderful to be able to build up the strength to do the different moves! I would love to see more series like this one for other body parts like thighs, arms, booty, etc!
Haven't worked out in a while and just started again a few days ago, yet somehow I was pretty decent (for my standards) at this!! Was quite surprised, but honestly if it wasn't for Cassey's support I would've given up after like 4mins max Anyway this workout is intense, but honestly so fun!! And I usually dislike working my abs Just goes to show how great of a motivation she is
Keep the abs tight/ sucked in and butt lifted (not high into the sky but it should not be drooping). Important to get proper form or the plank is ineffective.
I love how the “pick a workout to do next” has two options a twenty minute video or a ab workout playlist with 99 videos....... I wonder which one I should choose 😂
Doing the candle stick right before plank is such hell cause your arms work more during candle stick and even more during plank. Cassie if you read this please dont put the candle stick right before plank. Ps: keep up the awesome work i still love you
Yup, bonkers!! I got the bright idea that I didn’t need to go on my knees for plank twists then I realized that yup she actually was keeping us in plank for the last 5min. Doh! I was on fire by the time it was over
it took me 2 and a half weeks to complete the last part. as a total noob when it came to pilates, I did not expect myself to actually plank for 5 minutes. funnily enough, because of the Cassey’s affirmation that “I could do it” I truly believed in myself and decided that I was going to do this workout 4 times a week. Now, day 17, I not only am proud of my own endurance but also of my mindset that shifted because of Cassey. Thank you for helping me believe in myself ❤️
This was horrible. LOL. Especially after doing Day 4 of the 28 Day Summer Sculpt series. You are Wonder Woman these days! Flawless and strong... and speaking just as easily as if you were sipping an iced tea and daydreaming! Me? Not so much! Haha. Your transformation over this past year is genuine, inspiring, and all around amazing. Thank you!
I’ve been doing other RU-vid ab workouts for so long and have barely felt any burn, this killed me! I highly recommend this for anyone struggling to find a workout that feels like it’s doing something!!!
Can't wait to try this tomorrow i love the 5 min plank at the end i love planks I love how it makes my core feel i feel really strong snd feel the burn after and its a great feeling i don't know if that's just me but I love a challenge thank you Cassey you're amazing in what you do and you inspire me to be better each day!!!
I've been a fan since highschool years but then only for the bananna Pancakes. Since then I've changed a lot and I'm watching her again for pilates and really appreciating her positivity in life. 🌼 She's such a light
I tried my best for the 2nd day of Jan.2021 calendar, this was supee hard especilly bc it was an intermediate level but i've never done the beginner, but it was on the calendar so i tried my best!
Cassey Cassey, I absolutely love you. Seven years ago I pulled you up on RU-vid and did the thousand abs sit up challenge and ever since then I have a loved your workouts. I just did the second level abs and you put us in a plank at the end and it killed me but I know that I'm absolutely going to love the way I feel tomorrow. Also I am taking a six-month course in being a fitnessCoach. My dream is to do exactly what it is that you do and have my own retreat one day. I hope to meet you one day. Thank you so much you are an inspiration and I absolutely love you. By the way congratulations on your marriage and your new home
Dear Future Grass, Sure, my abs are sore. That was definitely an ab burn. BUT LEMME COMPLAIN ABOUT MY INNOCENT SHOULDERS!!! If you do this video again, Cassey will make you hold planks for the last 5 minutes. I was doing so well not pausing the video, but when this 5 min portion came along, I paused a few times. Can you blame me? I'll do better next time. It could also be the cardio + abs I did right before. Besides that, no pausing! I'm getting so much better at not pausing! -Grass
Dear Future Grass, bc I'm following along with Cassey's calendar, I should be doing the 30 minute level 3 version of this video. BUT, I'm always miserable doing it! I never feel good or happy during the process. So I was like, "I need to move down a level". It's really hard for me to do that bc of my ego but I did. And I'm gonna WORK my way up the ab ladder! Thanks for the plank warning! A 5 MIN PLANK SECTION!!! GEEZ! My shoulders definitely got a burn! I'm proud of myself for NOT PAUSING THE VIDEO! It's all in the mental! I just busied myself with calculating how much time was left: "Okay, so there's 3:00 left. 3-3=0 so I'll be done in 3 minutes! No problem." "Now there's 2:00 left. 2 minutes is 30 seconds away from 1 minute and 30 seconds. I got this." "Okay, now there's 1:30 seconds left. I've done a minute and 30 of plié squats before! I got this!" "WHY IS THIS LAST MINUTE SO LONG!?" I have sweat all over my mat and floor, but hey, at least I did it! On the plus side, the planks were a nice breaks for my hip-flexors and neck. - Grass
Dear Future and Maybe Even Past Grass, shoulders...neck...aches...must...take...a..break...before...next...video. At least I did this one with no extra breaks. However, I felt my neck and shoulders more than my neck. - Grass
Dear Future and Past Grass, I'm very proud of myself for not stopping at all and for adding in 8 puns dumbbells during the candlestick moves! Why do I feel my shoulders more than my abs??? - Grass
How on earth can she workout while smiling and talking and looking beautiful? I've been wondering for years now. I'm always a total mess after one single workout with her, all sweaty and holding for my dear life. Love Blogilates
Hello Cassey, You have been a motivation for me each time. I have been following you for years now :)It feels so good 😀 Could you please share some exercises for stiff neck or neck cervical spondylitis. It will be great help :)
Hey Cassey! Would you ever consider showing snippets of all the moves at the beginning of the video again? I found this to be helpful when planning out my workouts and making the most of my breaks during the day. I’m really hoping you start doing this again!
My god, the plank variations in the last 5 minutes. This is the third time I’ve done this workout and it’s still so hard! Planning on doing this one every week until I can do it without stopping!
I used to have to modify everything to get through this workout, and now, after doing over and over again, I can do it ALL! Even the planks?? (although those still burn the most haha). Plus, I've noticed every time I have a little lower back pain and I do this workout, it starts to go away like magic. Cassey, you make me feel so strong! :)
Wow. Ok I gotta look at level 1. I thought this would be a bunch of jumping around but its not. This is really doable, even for my old disabled butt. ❤
Casey! I sent a message vis insta but wanted to say thank you for your amazing videos. You are the only fitness person I can follow because you have such a positive vibe. In 3 months I have seen such a change in my mood, attitude to exercise, even the way I walk! I feel fitter! So thank you! My son joins in with me and we love your videos. Thank you!!
