Extreme Ab Flattener | ADVANCED PILATES ABS WORKOUT

[@i.am.peachy7858]

"You wouldn't be here right now if I didn't think you could do it" Her saying that was the one thing to help me push through the last bit of the video

[@oliviasonnier2605]

Polly Pocket My fear of disappointing Cassey outweighs my weakness lol

[@aarushi2099]

same here it was the last bit of urgent motivation that helped in the end.

[@Dani-et3es]

Same. That surprised me with how motivating it was!

[@whitleyknowsitall1888]

Same lol

[@fabianagonzalez9951]

how much does Cassey take to divide the video into each exercise! she puts so much work into this I appreciate it so muchhh

[@futuresuperstar4life]

I'm sure she has her assistant and/or team do it for her. But yes it is wonderful thinks about us enough to include them!

[@hehehe8516]

she only works out, her assistant edits and does the timer.

[@angelsonny1469]

I guess im randomly asking but does any of you know a method to get back into an Instagram account? I somehow forgot the password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me

[@westleyalfonso5303]

@Angel Sonny Instablaster =)

[@DanieLarsen]

"Thank you for killin it!!" No no no, Cassey. Thank YOU for killing ME

[@chalupnj]

Love this video but can you bring back the timer for each exercise (as opposed to one long timer for the whole workout)? It helps motivate me to push through each move if I can see how much time I have to hold it for. With the one big timer I find I give up easier. Thanks for all you do!

[@lisasnotes]

Same!

[@aliciauh-lee-see-uh1753]

[@kaylamarie033]

Hi Cassey - I’ve been on a fitness journey for a couple months. I’m down 10lbs and I feel so much stronger. Thanks for being part of my routine :)

[@BandEater]

that's so awesome, good for you!

[@Sush123Lyrics]

That’s amazing! Keep going!

Do u follow any diet plan along with this ? Or this exercise alone hve workd for u?

[@wendigobella6289]

For a moment there I thought that when Cassey said "singles singles just like" she was going to say "just like you" and I REALLY felt that

[@kybcat1583]

after the candle sticks my shoulders were burning more than my abs for the planks lol i was getting frustrated but i know i can come back and fight through the whole last bit! thank you cassey for all that you do i’ve been watching you for 3 years now! much love

[@lilylewis8857]

Same 😂

[@alicesong9979]

Same 😂

[@kamilesk]

@@alicesong9979 yup.

[@solar0wind]

I got pissed at her during the planks. I'm still pissed, although I know that it's necessary😂 I think I got annoyed because she said "don't bring the knees down" and I brought the knees down for a second several times...

[@hibaomair3160]

i was basically crying through the end part.

[@ycrmn]

It’s magical how she powers through the whole thing without putting her legs/arms down and motivates us. Lots of modifications on my part but I’m on the floor laid out like a starfish now grinning cause i finished! Need to build that core strength!

[@sarahs.4083]

15:42 "okay, you're gonna hate me for this" DAMN IT, Cassey!!! 16:55 ARE YOU SERIOUS, NOW??? Guess you finally gave us the "Extreme Abs 4", huh!?!! I felt my core and upper body from beginning to end. Hated some of the moves, hated you at times but loved it all at the same time! I gained more strength, still need to work on it but I am happy to see the progress. Please, make a series of it!!!

[@rumpelstinskin]

OK, I usually think Cassey has crazy strong abs of iron but dude, every time this video comes back in the calendar, I DO see progress in my own abs and I am SHOOK. Thank you, Cassey!

[@starcrystaltiara]

I love how I skipped all the other levels and I just went straight into level 3. And now, my arms, legs and abs just hurt and I don't know whether I'm actually paralysed or not HAHAHAH

I had to admit I wasn’t sure if I was feeling the side oblique exercise while I was doing it. But OMG two days later and I still FEEL muscles there I never knew were there before!

[@Sara-sq5zk]

one day cassey is gonna tell us to put both arms and legs up for the balanced plank and make us fly hahhahha, loved the workout btw

[@kirayany1704]

Some how your workouts make me wanna scream, laugh, and cry at the same time

[@tanialu1991]

Love it when she says "you look so graceful" and I'm dead on the floor!! Love her so much for that!!!! ❤

[@medousa3871]

Right 😀👍😀

[@Max-zn8tb]

Don't everyone hate me, but I've been doing this video almost every day since it posted and while it hasn't exactly gotten *easy*, on my better days I would love to have a - gulp! - level 4 version. You're the best EVER! Thank you, Cassey!!!

[@jameslakegoogie]

Actually THE BEST ab workout you or even anyone has ever put together. I dread doing this one, but wow, it is the absolute best burn.

[@sofiirtz]

it’s been 6 years since I first saw you, and believe me, no one has ever motivated me like you do, I love you Cass, you are such a masterpiece 💜

[@lizjoy6936]

during plank series at the end: My abs ✅ my legs ✅ My arms❌

[@hstewart107]

Most definitely the hardest ab workout I've ever done! Thanks Cassey. The plank series at the end ABsolutely kills me!

[@jennikookie]

I needed level 3!!! I WANT MY ABS TO FEEL SORE AND PAINNNNNNNN

[@abbiegclark]

I just have to say how grateful I am I discovered Cassey and blogilates. I started doing Cassey’s workout calendar in April and in 3 months I’m down 15+ pounds and almost 4% body fat. Not only that, but I feel soooo much stronger! This video was really hard, but a few months ago I wouldn’t have even been able to dream of doing it. And I got through it! I just will be forever grateful for Cassey and everything she has taught me and inspired me to do. Popster for life!!

[@Rose_-nd5ff]

id love to request a series similar to the one you created last yr, where you talked to us as you worked out!! that kind of format where you provide advice and tips in the 10 minute video was not only a very effective workout but super insightful and motivating to my personal life. It was kind of like listening to a podcast of you and your advice while we worked out and id love to see a series of that kind return!!!

[@zahliatait]

how did I only find this 3 years later?! I feel so productive now. Cassie, you are SO inspiring, I love how you kept saying “DONT STOP NOW, KEEP GOING!!” It felt like you were really there and helped me to get through it. I love how you were giving tips about how to make your abs more visible. You are so strong! Thank you💞

[@amberreynolds7296]

i did this and felt it in my abs for FOUR DAYS afterwards. amazing, love you cassey!

[@michellemarsh58]

Man this was tough! I definitely wasn't on my A-game today and struggled alot. I'm looking forward to trying this one on a day when I'm not struggling so bad lol. I do love how positive and real you are. Thanks for another brilliant workout! Have a super day lovelies!

[@olivialolypop780]

I’m only 8 minutes in and I had to stop already! I have much respect for all people who are capable of fully doing workouts like this one. I know that since I’m a beginner, it makes sense that I have a limit, however, I don’t think I have the right mentality to continue doing these workouts when i’ve already died.

[@mevieira440]

Cassey has other type of Abs workout that are not that advanced. I Started with those instead of workouts like this one because cassey has been working out for years and She has a really strong Core so its totally understable how you feel

[@cadiechurchill2427]

Her workouts make me cry and want to quit but when she said those words at the end “don’t die on me. I wouldn’t have you here if I knew you couldn’t do it” really encourages me

[@noellaamelie8468]

cassey: don't die on me! me: jokes on you I'm already dead!

[@rebeccabacani4486]

Did this for the July calendar. It was the first day of my period. I might’ve had a couple of breakdowns 😅 but I’m proud of myself for getting through this workout!

[@kamilesk]

doing this during period is like ballet dancing with broken toes.

[@rumpelstinskin]

Damn girl... respect to you for doing this during your period!

[@catherinedrysdale1488]

This workout was one of the hardest that I’ve ever done but it was pitched just right to be enjoyable. :) I am definitely going to put it in my weekly rotation because I just checked myself out in the mirror and it is already having an effect!

[@jeannelouis4591]

Cassey I have to say, you are glowing!! I know you made some changes in your life, and apparently they were for the better. I mean it's not just your body (which, in itself is like body goals, all defined and smooth like that), but it's also your face and your eyes. Those are gleaming. Anyway thanks for sharing all this content with us on youtube for free. A year ago, I would never have considered doing a workout like this. Now I'm like "well I may be up for it. Won't know until I try anyway." I used to loathe sports and your videos were the ones that helped me in the end. Now I feel much more confident both mentally and physically, so thanks again. Keep on taking care of yourself and the people around you 💙

[@blogilates]

Aww thank you!

[@makaylamcarter]

6 months later and I still choose to do this video over any other abs workout video. Omg I loveeeee they immediate burn and the results the day after are immaculate. Thank you for making such an amazing video

I love this kind of workout 😃💕!! Please do a series for butt, thights and arms 💪🏻

[@roseytumpak9619]

So doing the Feb 2021 calendar. Silly me thinking she was going easy on us today...then this video happened. Ohhhhhh my goodnessss. I'm convinced she has superhuman strength. How on earth does she make this look like no big deal? Not a single sweat drop on her face.🤣 Those ab moves and the plank circuit at the end...whoof! THEN when she said she just decided she wasn't going to let us drop the last 2 minutes my jelly arms were sobbing. Lol Great workout as usual! Definitely not a walk in a park.

[@sasharua2144]

[@seeyouinhell2597]

I’ve been doing this for a while now (1.5 months) and my core is sooo strong now!🎉 Love this!♥️

[@xfalseidolsfall]

My neck always gets so strained when I’m trying to “rest” it on my shoulders! What am I doing incorrectly??😭🖤

[@TheYazmanian]

Probably need to work up to it. I find my neck strains when my muscles are fatigued. My neck takes over cuz abs hurt. Keep low back curved into ground and keep your palms down on mat rather than behind head.

[@xfalseidolsfall]

YazmanianDevil Thank you for the tips!🖤🖤🖤

[@shibaimtiaz7695]

You are probably not engaging upper abs enough try lifting with your chest ie trying to get the chest hugher off the ground as opposed to the neck

[@xfalseidolsfall]

Shiba Imtiaz Thank you! I’ll be mindful of doing that next time I work out!🖤

[@amalaperi8513]

It helps when I focus on sucking in my abs. That way I lift with my abs and not my neck

[@aliciauh-lee-see-uh1753]

The dislikes on this video are just the people who worked hard with this video and were so exhausted they thought they were pressing the like button. I am still on the level one abs video but i am working hard to be able to get to this point. I have been working out with your videos for almost 3 weeks and I am not stopping. Normally i would have quit by now but you are keeping me motivated so thank you so much Cassy. I could not have gotten this far without you!

[@sandablackberry3733]

This was SO TOUGH but I love myself a good challenge! I am going to do this for 5 days and see how my core strength improves! Day 1: had to stop several times but I am so proud of myself for not having to stop at all at the plank section and finishing it! Day 2: I also did a 15 mins cardio session before this so I was already dead when I got to this work out but I still pushed through it XD Ofc had to take some mini breaks again but I finished it! And my muscles were literally trembling by the end of it haha Day 3: still tough but I can feel I am getting stronger! In day 1 I couldn’t hold the balanced plank for more than 2 seconds but today I hold it as long as Cassey did! Day 4: Was quite sore today, especially my obliques, but I finished it! Day 5: Wasn’t really in the mood to work out today but I forced myself to do it anyway! This was the last day and honestlty I can’t wait to give my abs a break for a couple of days now haha. Anyway, I can definetely tell my abs are more strong now than in day 1! I can pretty much do all the exercises now while day 1 was depressing haha I did not measure or weight myself cause I don’t really care about that, I care about building strength so I can say this challenge was a success! If anyone gets to see this comment...thanks for reading and good luck in your own fitness journey!!!!

[@DuchessDelusional]

I do your extreme abs workout everyday so I thought I’ll just jump right into level 3. Wow!!!!! That plank was killer. You said two minutes left and I was like I actually can’t do this…. But I did push through somehow. You got me good on this!!! Thank you so much. This is the most challenging ab workout I’ve found on KZbin. You’re amazing!!

[@browneyedgyrl79]

How does she stay so cheerful when I'm over here dyin'?! :)

Hi! I have never been this early and I just wanted to say that I have been using your videos during lockdown and it is improving my fitness so much! Thank you 💕

[@ilianahernandez2014]

This was NOT at my level but I pushed myself and finished it & tried my best on all the moves (of course I took a couple small break in between lol). This video made me realize how much the 100 Ab Challenge helped me bc before it, there was no way I could do ANY of these moves. 😭 Thank you for helping me & boosting my confidence Casey. 🥺💕

[@Sarzize]

This series has been sooo eye opening for me! Thanks to going through the basics before advancing to more difficult variations, I'm looking at these moves in a new light. So this is how you're supposed to do them right to maximise the burn and avoid compensating with other muscle groups?? Been doing Cassey's videos (on and off along with my other workouts) for five years and still learning new things from her. It's amazing!!!

[@Sarzize]

Also, totally needed to modify in a few occasions. No shame there.

[@ikoiko217]

Proud of myself for mostly keeping up with this... the first part was so hard!!!

During quarantine, my mom and I have been doing Cassey's workouts every day to keep us in shape. The other day I started going to my school athletics camp and I was the only one who wasn't struggling to do the ab, leg, and weight workouts! I didn't realize how much her workout's really helped!!!

[@kittens_shades3901]

[@TasmyLee]

The plank series killed me, last 30 seconds was literally me swearing multiple times

[@kimberlydedes3993]

Hands down the hardest I've worked my abs in ages. Cassey, I hope you have some idea of how much blogilates helps a lot of us. I've always enjoyed your videos and finally started following your calendars during quarantine. I don't know how I would have mentally made it thru this without you. It's such a hard time for all of us, and this pandemic would have been a perfect excuse to succumb to old demons and bad habits. Having your workouts to look forward to (or dread/hate) has helped me stay focused and present. Even after 7+ years of sobriety, it isn't always easy. So thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

[@carolynexists]

That just about killed me! Wow!!!! Now, onto the rest of the workouts for today on the July calendar. 🤤

[@michellemarsh58]

That was me today I was struggling bad I just had no mojo. But I got through it! And I'm happy I stuck it out and didn't just do this one video off the calendar. I would've felt like i was letting myself down. Casseys positivity and loveliness really helped today 😊 well done for getting it done!

[@kamilesk]

this calendar is so sneaky though! It's got 4 workouts each day. But some of the workouts go like " you should repeat this video NOW to even out the other side!" I'm like really? that's how we are gonna play?? xD

[@jahnvibansal9601]

Hey Cassey! I would LOVE LOVE LOVE an arm and cardio version of this series!!! I've been working out with you since March and this series is my fav!! I love you so much❤️️❤️️❤️️!!

[@grass6740]

Dear Future Grass, I know Cassey's "human" so if she can do it, so can I. I know, I know. But is she following the calendar? Did she do mountain climbers and planks and the whole shebang before this video? Can't tell. So her encouragement becomes a little empty for me and ends up not encouraging me at all. On the other hand, 2-3 months ago, we tried to follow along with this video and couldn't get pass the 9:33 mark. BUT GUESS WHO JUST FINISHED THE VIDEO!? ME! Let's face it, I can't do that leg hold v-shape move without falling like an egg but I'm so close! I'm so much stronger than I was 3 months ago! I'm a stronger, better person! Alright, can't celebrate just yet, I have one more 10 minute ab video to complete for today's calendar. Good luck Future Grass! - Grass

[@medousa3871]

💪💞

[@grass6740]

Dear Future and Maybe Even Past Grass, I just did this video again. Truth be told, I don't ever feel good about doing this video. The moves like teaser and v-ups are too hard and I feel my shoulders and hip-flexers more than I feel my abs . Cassey's moves here kinda discourage me and it's quite unfortunate. But I wanna continue pushing myself. I need some good old encouragement from so POPsters. People like me who also are following the calendar and aren't as strong as Cassey. People who break a sweat doing this video. - Grass P.S. I am sooooo close to doing those balance abs to perfection! I really wanna see myself do this one day. I'm also close to doing the teasers. I can do those but I can't hold them for longer than 2.5 seconds.

Dear Future and Past Grass, my greatest accomplishment today: - Holding the teaser for about 20 seconds! - Not giving up with those last 5 minutes! - Pushing through the first half no matter how much it hurt! All in all, IM A BEAST! - Grass

When the pandemic quarantine started back in March, the indoor pool where I swim closed: It has yet to reopen. This has been a blow to my primary form of exercise (swimming). As a former runner, dancer, and overall highly active person, I now have severe hip arthritis in my 50s! Without the pool, I went back to long walks, but that aggravated the hip inflammation. I thought about the things that I used to do--years ago--that made me feel long and strong. I am a longtime yogi, but I wanted to "work out." Enter Pilates, and thank you, Cassey and Blogilates: The past several months of a video of yours almost every day has made my core much stronger than it has been in years. Mentally, I feel that I am doing something good for my wellbeing. On top of all that, my entire body is strong and lean, which makes dealing with the lack of swimming bearable. (But dang it, when is the darn gym gonna reopen?!) Thanks again...
