    I just came across Blogilates with Cassey Ho. And i love it. I would also enjoy a little group thing.

    I just signed up for the 28 day beginner challenge--Two days in and I'm feeling stronger and more energized!

    Yes! I started it as a workout I could do at home when I didn't feel like going to the gym. Thought it would be easy but it's no joke!

    I just started doing the beginner's calendar (it's a little on the easy side but whatever) and following the 90 day diet plan. I am really liking it. It's cheap and simple and I just started a few days ago and 4ish lbs just fell right off even though it's the same number of calories I was previously eating. I figured I needed to get in the habit of eating less bread and more veggies and it's great for that. I've been very satisfied on it and it's pretty quick and easy to make the stuff. I have lots of energy and feel really good. I don't expect to follow it perfectly but it's a great start. I don't miss bread and cheese and stuff like that nearly as much as I thought I would.

    I recently discovered Blogilates and am wanting to ease into it with the beginners calendar. I can see the videos she suggests for each day but do we also add in a warmup and cooldown? If so, what do you recommend?

    She has some videos specifically for warmup/cooldown, but personally I don't bother... each video usually starts with a little warmup. Most don't get your heart rate up all that much so I don't really think a cooldown is necessary aside from some stretching. But maybe go for a little walk before/after or do some jumping jacks to warm up?

    I'm excited for December to start. I've been doing the beginner calendar for most of this month and am excited to get on board with everybody else. One thing I'm confused about though is I kind of thought cardio would be added in more but the novemburn calendar doesn't say anything about it so I wonder how much is recommended on top of the workouts : /

    I really enjoy working out with Cassey! I've been using my Pilates machine at home lately, but I'm going to switch things up and use her more next month. Although I have to turn down the volume and use my own music, her moves are very effective if you stay consistent IMO.

    This week I have tried some of the newer workouts and I'm putting together my own 30 minute (appx) circuit consisting of an ab/core day, leg day, chest & back day. I'm planning on using each one twice per week for next month with a rest day.

    I just found this group and I do Pop Pilates, too! I used to be a lot more into it when I was just beginning to lose weight, and kind of stopped, and now want to get back into it to tone up and help me lose my last 20 pounds or so! :)
    I just did the Call Me Maybe Squat Challenge.... I hate it, but I love it :P

    I used to do them a lot but I've got out of it a bit. I'm aiming to start doing one a day again though. I love that they're targeted so you can work on different areas, or do an allover one. My favourite is probably the Call Me Maybe Squat Challenge (try doing it all plie to really kill your inner thighs!) or one of the arms ones where she's outside and just talks about cows the whole time. It always makes me laugh.

    I think a group would be a really good idea!
    yes! the squat challenge!

    I've been following Cassey since 2012 I think and she's always been a great motivation. I don't do her videos every day, but come back to them every once in a while. I've just started using MFP again and would love to get in touch with other POPsters, so feel free to add me :)

    Hey guys! In case anybody still wonders, Cassey suggests logging her exercises under "calisthenics". Here's the direct quote:

    How many calories do I burn when doing your workouts?
    I advise going to sites such as Weighttraining.com, MyFitnessPal.com, LoseIt.com, or MyNetDiary.com to track your calorie burn. Enter your age, gender, intensity level, and type of activity exercised. You can choose “calisthenics” or “advanced Pilates” for POP Pilates and “circuit” for any HIIT videos. You can equate my cardio videos to “aerobics”. The reason why I cannot give you exact calorie counts is because everyone is different and will burn calories differently.

    I'm a wannabe popster :) I just did my first POP Pilates workout today (beginner's total body POP Pilates workout) since I'm totally new to pilates. We'll see how sore I am in the morning! I really want to do AprilAbs but I think it might be too advanced for a newbie. What do you guys think? Might just start out with the beginners workout calendar until I get the hang of it!! Good luck to all the popsters doing AprilAbs!!

    ME! I just started her beginner's workout programme, although I'm only doing it a couple of times a week around my other training (I'm a roller derby skater and I'm cross-training to build up different skills and muscle groups as well as skating). I love her videos. I have an old back injury and her workouts always make me feel nice and stretched out and loose on bad back days.
