Pop Pilates Total Body Workout with Cassey Ho

When I was first introduced to Cassey Ho I was a bit skeptical. She seemed very glam princess girly-girl (no offense Cassey, I'm just a total tomboy!) but with all the positive reviews for Pop Pilates and her incredible physique I decided to give the DVD a try. After my first workout I have to say I have nothing but mad respect for the woman! She does the whole workout, talking throughout, while I sweat my butt off, barely able to make it through each set. Her upbeat attitude and funny side comments make the entire hour pass by so quickly. Her spunk, and yes even her girly-girl factor makes the DVD feel like I'm working out with my friend and her tireless positivity encourages me to hold it longer, higher, one more, c'mon you got it, go! I've already noticed by my second workout that I'm able to do more reps and hold better form. I have no doubt that if I stick to DVD and do it 2-3 times a week like she recommends, I'm going to be stronger, leaner and definitely way more fit. I highly recommend this workout to anyone who likes pilates, no matter your skill level. Get it, try it, you'll see.

Cassie is great! I've watched her for a while on YouTube and Facebook. Finally, I bought this video and I have to tell you she actually helped to enhance my form. I have been doing Pilates for a number of years now. Her kind and informative instructions on certain moves truly aided in the effectiveness of my workouts. She is very perky and encouraging. It is a great "good morning" workout. Now, at 5:00 a.m., sometimes I am not so thrilled to hear the perkiness but it does give a great start to the day. I also found that some of her moves are more challenging than most Pilates workouts. I love that about this video. It gives me a new goal to work towards and challenges new muscles I never knew I had.

If you can get past the MAJOR cheese, this is a good workout. It probably could have been cut down to 30 minutes if Cassey didn't talk so much. I've never seen her YouTube videos so this was just a pure purchase of a pliates DVD for me. The main problem is that although all of her talking and instruction is OK for the first time viewing, it's going to be very tedious to watch it over and over again, making this not a top choice in my DVD repertoire. The workout and exercises themselves were fantastic and my body really felt it right after and the next day. The setting is beautiful and you feel like your in Cassey's home with her. it's just the verbal presentation could have been better.

This is not for pilates traditionalists. The moves are pilates inspired but with high numbers of reps and much less attention to breathing and form. The instructor is high energy but personally I found her irritating. I probably won't use this DVD again.

I found out about blogilates last year on tumblr. I did them on YouTube but the lag and buffering from low wifi connection would always put a damper on my workouts which is why I am so glad that Cassey made a DVD! The DVD is so nice because all you do is pop it in and follow along. The music is something that I also really enjoy. Her spirit always makes me feel happier and want to continue to work out. It makes it fun but also challenging. She has modifications for a lot of the moves if you are just beginning or you just need to work your way up because these moves are pretty advanced. I’ve tried other DVD’s but none are as fun or give you as fast results as Cassey’s DVD. I now look forward to working out and I can avoid lags. You can also take along the printed insert if you are traveling and don’t want to damage the DVD. If Cassey makes another DVD I would definitely buy it!

The workout itself is good, but I couldn't get past how annoying the instructor was. She doesn't stop talking even for a minute. My IQ was significantly lower after listening to her talk.

I have had this dvd since July and recently did it for the first time. I have been a fan of blogilates for a long time and when I heard that there was a dvd I knew it would be something I would enjoy. Here is my short list of pros and cons of the dvd.pros-all bodyweight exercises-lots of beginner modifications-Casey's upbeat personality (other reviews didn't like it as much, but personally I like how positive she is).-lots of new exercises-Casey was fantastic with cueing and reminds you when to breathe.cons-duration (dvd runs for an hour. I prefer shorter workouts).-I wore my hrm and noticed my heart rate did not ever go over 100 bpm. Granted, because this is a pilates dvd that is probably not out of the ordinary.

The exercises are so challenging, ive been a fan for a long time!but only a fan (meaning i only watched her videos and did them every once in a while.)I was very indecisive about buying it, thinking i could do the ones on youtube.but as i watched her youtube videos i realized....i hate loading times....i hate staring up at my desk while i work out..i hate it so much i didn't work out!!!so i got her DVD after lots of thinking...and i'm super pleased!!its not what u expect,some exercises are hard but what good workout is easy? you will be so sore the next morning and it'll be addictive!expect to feel results in a week!Five stars for cassey! shes so cheerful and knows exactly what to say to motivate you!!def. a recommendation for all of you wanting to get in shape!oh and do you have a smartphone?? download her app...so many before and after pics... videos on your phone.... exchange recipes!! where do i begin section!!! and....... motivation from others working just as hard or harder!!!!! sorry about the long review!had to let you know! :)
