Hey guys,

I'm thinking of taking a break from my Jillian micheal's when I'm finished this DVD (Done 30DS, Nearly finished RI30) And trying the Blogilates calenders (on youtube). Has anyone else done these? How do you feel they were? Did you see results? if so, when?

Obviously I know any exercise is better than none, but I'd just like people's opinions. Thanks :)


Pics are also welcome too!

    I enjoy the Blogilates workouts on YouTube. Also, you could check out BodyRockTV. I have never used any of the Jillian Michael's DVDs, so I'm not sure how it would compare. I like Blogilates and BodyRockTV because a lot of the workouts are shorter 3-8 minutes, so you can stack them however you want to create a full workout.

    Thanks for your imput! I'm planning on doing the calender with the "arms, legs, abs, total body, cardio" type of thing on her website. I think I'll shorten the total body day though, it was a whopping 1 1/2 last time I calculated the video times together! I like working out, but I am on a schedule! lol.

    YES. I recommend Cassey's workouts to everyone who is looking for lower impact exercises. I use her Youtube workouts, starting with her beginner's workout. I did the Summer Slimdown for a couple of weeks before realizing it was waaaay too advanced for me and have gone back to the beginner's.

    I don't have pics, but I fully believe that her workouts is what allowed me to shimmy my *kitten* back into my size 9 jeans as opposed to the 11's I'd been wearing! I feel tighter and stronger and it's wonderful!

    Thanks! This really boosts my confidence :) I'm excited to do it!

    The actual workouts aren't always as long as the video, she sometimes talks at the beginning and the end which you don't have to listen to if you don't want. They are awesome though, I love Cassey's workouts. If you follow the calendar you will definitely see results.

    I love Blogilates! I do a lot of the beginner workouts several times a week, in particular the full body workout and the abs one. :)
    My legs seem a little slimmer and I have more definition in my waist area since I started doing them, and I find them more fun than other workouts available. :) Cassey is really encouraging and it keeps me motivated. :)

    I've being doing Cassey's workouts for a while now and I love them. I always get exited when she posts a new one every week.

    I have her calendar, but I don't follow it religiously. I just get "inspired" by it. For example, today is abs/core so that's what I'll work on but not necessarily the ones that are listed on the calendar, I have my favorite exercises i prefer doing instead.

    At the beginning some workouts can be difficult, but with time I can definitely see myself improving. To be honest, my body is so sore right now because of them. They look easy but they are not!

    I really like Cassey. She's a nice girl and a great role model. I also like her food videos, always good ideas to eat healthy.

    I love Blogilates! I feel sore instantly after doing her workouts. She is a great motivator and the time flies by because she talks through the whole thing which keeps your mind off what you are doing. She recently released a full hour DVD that I have been wanting to try.

    I just discovered her and did her a legs workout earlier today. She definitely gives a mean workout, really felt the burn and had to lower my leg down for a bit to keep up. She has a lot of strength and I agree a beautiful figure, not to mention motivating. Love finding new videos to change it up

    I really love blogilates, when I first started, i saw results on my bum and legs really quickly, only about two weeks, arms and abs took a lot longer, but it works. I never find one video feels like a workout, so I have a load of little playlists. Hope this helps

    I do my own thing depending on what I want to work on that day but her workouts are super fun and you DO see results :)

    Its www.youtube.com/blogilatestv
    and she has a website if you type in "blogilates" in which you enter your E-mail and receive a calender of her work out plans for 1febuary, march, april, etc. They have checklists to do a certain video on each day (type the video in on youtube) and then you do those videos.

    Thanks for sharing, I just watched a few of her videos on making healthy alternatives to food and I have bookmarked it for the future!
    My only complaint is that her voice is very irritating and she is a little too "YAAAY!" for me so I don't think I could follow her workouts. I prefer someone with Jillian's attitude!

    Good luck with your new program and again, thanks for sharing!

    Actually... I might take that back! The more you listen to her the less irritating she becomes... haha.

    I just started following Cassey from Blogilates!
    I like how she explains each exercise routine, her instructions are very clear and easy to follow.
    And her voice alone is friendly and motivating!

    Have you tried her 100 Burpee Challenge?
    It's a real calorie burner! Or you could just go ahead and call it pure torture lol
    I tried the challenge and got burned in the first 3 burpee routines. But I'll attempt the challenge again!
