Hi!
I am on Day 12 of Blogilate's beginners calender.

http://www.blogilates.com/calendar/beginners-calendar-for-popsters-just-starting-out

It's great. I am totally new to working out, so I am so thankful she put in so much effort to make it so easy. I really can't believe I've followed ANY workout program for 12 days!! That's such a big deal for me! I already feel stronger! Her peppy attitude was a little over the top for at first, but I think I like it more now. I add Jillian Michael's Yoga Meltdown every other day for more cardio and I highly prefer Cassey Ho's attitude.

OK, i'll stop. i promise she's not paying me to do this. haha

Anyways! What do you file Pop Pilates under on MFP?
The FAQ section on Blogilates says to file it under "Calisthenics" but there are 2 options:
Calisthenics-Vigorous Effort or Calisthenics, home, light-moderate effort

I am always dripping sweat and my muscles are burning after I'm done. Does that count as vigorous effort or am I just a weakling? The "vigorous effort" option is twice as many calories burned as the other one!

Just wondering what you do :)

    I LOVE Cassie, she's totally awesome, I haven't followed a calender yet but plan to soon. I have a HRM so I log it as that, but I think Vigorous or Pilates

    I'm doing the beginners calendar too! I log it under Pilates and use an outside calculator to see how many calories due to having different weight effets how many calories you burn per minute.

    Her videos are so easy and I find myself just popping up with the stretching routine all the time cause I work at a desk in an office.

    I love her workouts! I just started her July workout calender. I broke them up & did two this morning. I'm already sore but 3 more tonight, lol!

    As for logging it. I log it as Vigorous if the workout is more of push-ups, sit-ups, pretty much if it was really challenging.
    If the workout wasn't too hard, or didn't have me sweating too much. I log it as light. Everyone's fitness ability is different. If your struggling and sweating, log it as hard or vigorous.

    Halfway through day 1 of the July calendar. D-Y-I-N-G. In a good way. I think.

    Finished day 2 of the beginner's calendar. The ABC Abs video was kind of silly but interesting I thought.

    LoopyLaura mentioned starting a group for people doing the beginners calendar this month, so I just went ahead and did that, and I invited anyone who might be interested :) (No pressure to join of course!)

    I'm a Popster!

    I've been doing the regular calenders since April I believe. I love them, they're so fun. I think I have noticed a difference in my body as well as my mind! I haven't taken measurements or recent photos for a long time, but I know my body is changing :)

    I've done Jillians workouts, and I like them in their own respects, but with Cassie I just feel like I'm having a blast and don't feel bored that I'm repeating the same workout every day.

    Love Cassie's recipes too!

    I discovered Cassey's workouts back in March. I only did her beginners workouts at first and then moved up to her calendar by mid April. She inspires me to workout and cut the crap from my diet.

    I lost a total of 7 kg or 15.4 lbs since March. I am doing the workouts on the calendar as often as I can although I like cardio days best. As she said you can tone your body as much as you like but you also need to get in your cardio to melt off the fat on top, which is covering your beautiful muscles.

    Do her workouts and you'll see and feel the results.
