How I Deal with my Insecurities ft. Lindsey Stirling

[@singdancelaughlove97]

It was very interesting to hear you talk about how your body doesn't look like a lot of other fitness instructors because it never once crossed my mind that you don't have six pack abs and a big bubble butt because all I ever notice when I watch your videos and see your photos is a strong healthy women with an amazing personality who loves what she does and is incredible at what she does. I think that is a very good example that when you're truly connected to your mind, body and spirit, it shows on the outside as well. That's quite amazing isn't it?

[@blogilates]

Casandria Emmerich thank you as viewing as an instructor and not a body

[@mermaidavenue8363]

Casandria Emmerich Same here

[@niuall2190]

Casandria Emmerich same, like common sense to me was "everyone's body is different" and I just thought it's probably because her genes are just that way, and I thought she was just healthy, mentally and physically

[@AryannaCisnerosChannel]

Same

[@kiarabahena6097]

I love how Cassey is different from other fitness instructors! Who agrees??!

[@mjrubio410]

Kiara Bahena sooooo true!!!!

[@blogilates]

Thank you for embracing my differences!

[@erin-mt6uq]

Kiara Bahena ikr! Cassey is so nice with her workouts and everything else. i notice that a lot of fitness instructors are really mean and trying to push ppl way too much. that why i love her!

[@StressedDress]

Totoro she says things like "even if you can't do it now, it's okay, keep working at it and when one day you're able to do it you'll be so glad and so proud" and it's so positive, so reassuring and encouraging 💙

[@erin-mt6uq]

Kiara Bahena exactly! that's why i can love and trust her

[@tammytan1902]

Um what - I strive to be strong like Cassey. Hate it when people bring her down for her body image when all I see is her encouragement and strength.

[@TheMagicCrafter]

Oh girls... the struggle with eating disorders is real. :( While I have heard Cassey's story before, I did not know that Lindsey had gone through similar struggles as well. It's an inspiration to know that neither of you let your setbacks get the best of you. Someday, I'm going to see you both at one of those KZbin mixer events so that I can thank you personally for I started watching this video AGES ago but never got the chance to finish it until now... and I'm glad I did. Loved this vlog! Much love to you both, Mermaid Phantom (Oh! And my gift is to inspire others and to awaken creativity within them. With my mermaid tail, I help others to believe that *anything* is possible if your work hard and keep hope.)

[@fatimacuenco8119]

I watch Cassey's videos because of her personality. She's so upbeat, and her love for pilates truly shows her success: she's such an inspiration because she doesn't focus on the superficial "do this to look like this" but instead focuses on making each one us happy. I feel stronger every time I do her videos, and it's made exercising a want instead of a need. I really want Cassey to know how amazing she is, and how glad I am to have come across her videos.

[@yasper08]

You shouldn't be insecure of your body. I LITERALLY WANT TO HAVE A BODY LIKE YOURS. Whenever I talk to someone about losing weight they think i want to be really skinny, then I show your pic and tell them that I want to be like you. You're so AWESOME AND BEAUTIFUL INSIDE OUT. YOUR SMILE always helps me and pushes me to finish my workout. Please keep smiling and know that your smile helps many of us to go through a hard workout. I love you. ❤

[@blogilates]

Mystic Taekook thank you for that. Love you too.

[@yasper08]

Cassey, I've never thought your body doesn't look like a fitness trainer. In fact I constantly am so impressed by your figure and absolutely love your enthusiasm. I'd pick you over all those other trainers any day

[@blogilates]

Jane Chandler sending so much love to you.

[@cinnamon-png]

I felt so bad because I compared myself with one of my best friends (she's tall and sooo skinny). A few days ago she gave me a piggy back ride and she said 'gosh, it's so easy'. Then she told me her weight and she weighs more than me. I felt so stupid. The weight does not look the same on every body. I really need to start accepting myself more. Same goes for all reading this! Try to accept yourself and don't waste your time with diets. Eat what you want an exercise when and how much you want. Much love ~ P.S. : I don't think you (Cassey) need to be insecure about yourself. You're so adorable and you're making me so happy. I love your positivity !

[@Meggsie]

Yukwon png I'm 30 lbs heavier than my best friend but we look close to the same size. I'm just a bit taller. ^^

[@GrippingJoker]

Well you have to be concerned about your body! It isn't something bad! After all we don't wanna die because of diabetes. You have to face the problem and not try to act like it's not there!

[@Meggsie]

If you're talking to me, I've never been more than 7 pounds above my healthy weight range. And some of that is muscle weight because I've worked manual labor jobs.

[@GrippingJoker]

I am not referring to you specifically

[@Passionsofxanxor]

around 6:36 a good point was made. Actions speak louder than words, just be about your business, stay humble, and your character will shine through regardless.

[@blogilates]

Francelle Papailler exactly exactly exactly

[@AH-il3ee]

Thank you for posting this video. I have watched Lindsey progress through the years and always have adored her ability and her kindness. I have only recently started watching this channel, out of looking for workout routines, but when I saw this video, I thought, "That's exactly what I need!" Fitness is not just about the body, it's about the mind and over the years I too have worked so hard to change how I think about myself, about other people, and I agree with you 100%. I'm also going through a phase in my life where change is inevitable and I'm having to retrain my mind in saying, "I can do this!" As opposed to continuously saying, "I can't!" I don't know when I lost my self confidence or my self-esteem, but I'm so desperately trying to build it back up. And I'm like you both, I'm relatively in shape, I seem confident, but it's all there underneath the surface like a vicious infection. So thank you for showing us we aren't alone, and telling us we can work through these insecurities. Thank you for being genuinely, beautiful people.

[@mahimabathla4831]

it's been exactly an year since I found Cassey and her KZbin channel. And even today Whenever I feel that I am I not okay.. I would listen her talk, while doing her workout video. You changed the way I think and I am so grateful that I found you. Thankyou for being so real and raw with us. I wish I could be half the person you are. You are my role model, my aspiration. I love you Cassey. ❤

[@DarkBlueNutrition]

"Health is really internal, and health looks different for everyone." Cassey, I love you so much for making videos like this! As someone who struggled with an eating disorder in the past, I can say that it led me to the amazing point where I'm at right now... which is becoming a registered dietitian and creating my own KZbin channel too (PS- you were my first KZbin inspiration!💕) Both are things that took a leap of faith and still scare me to death, but I wouldn't change what happened for the world. There is a reason for the things that happen to us!

[@rosenorris7574]

Cassey, one of my absolute favorite things about you is the fact that you don't have 6 pack abs. I feel like for me personally, seeing fitness instructors that look like that and trying to do their workouts makes me feel like it's unobtainable. I also feel like 6 pack abs are unrealistic and you have proven that having a 6 pack of abs does not make one strong. You are so strong and you are such an inspiration. I love watching your videos and working out with you! You really have changed the way I look at myself, so thank you for that! I love you

[@niuall2190]

Honestly, I used to cry because of my body so much, but for the past 3 months (I've been working out for 1 year but these months I was very focused) I've been working out hard, and my body has gotten so much better, I look better in clothes, and feel better and I'm so much happier with my body, I can really say, I'm happy with myself and it's no longer one of my insecurities, and it's really thanks to cassey, you made me push myself and show that you don't need a gym and that I should do it for myself so honestly thank you so so much.

[@amandaaroche3247]

I love how Lindsey touched base about focusing so much on one aspect of your life that you lose out on other aspects of your life. I've been in a struggle with being anti-social because I feel like I'm not thin enough or pretty enough to be able to go and have fun. It sounds dumb but it's what I face daily. I've missed my friends wedding and birthdays because I'm so worried about it. Thank you for this video!

[@melissaj1310]

I loved what Lindsey said about choosing not to agree with what the eating disorder was telling her. I deal with depression and I have learned over time to ask myself "Is this truth, or is this the depression talking?" It has taken hard work to separate my identity from the depression. I am not only depression. I am affected by it, and I have to do some things in life differently because of it, but I am so much more than that and I will fight to feel the joy in life.

[@Randomnesh]

Thank you both for making this video, and for speaking so openly about your body image struggles. It's so, so important to talk about these things, and I love that you're using your wide-reaching platform to do so. Cassey, I started doing your videos when I was at my point of lowest self-esteem (all the way back in 2010!), feeling utterly worthless, and you helped me shift my mindset from wanting to be skinny to wanting to be healthy--and, most importantly, you helped me learn to be good and kind to my body. For all of the transformations you've had a hand in through your videos, I hope you are proudest of the transformations you cannot see, because I know you've helped change many other lives like you have changed mine. So so glad to see your business still growing all these years later and to always have POP Pilates to come back to when I need a kick of motivation :)

[@ΚατερίναΒασιλοπουλου-φ1υ]

Cassey is literally one of the best instructors I've ever seen, she can do so difficult excersises and she can do so much things with her body and look amazing at the same time.The thing is that I see so many similarities between me and cassey because fitness is what I like the most and even though I don't look like an insta model I just want to be stronger and just be able to do things with my body and to have progression. At the end of the day I will be so happy if I improve and keep doing what I love the most !

[@xmiss.bunnyx]

I find you so inspirational, thank you for always talking about these kinds of things on your channel. I suffer with Body dismorphia, and Post traumatic stress disorder, as well as agorpahobia and general depression and anxiety. My biggest insecurity is never being able to over come this! and always being stuck never getting better. I'm 29 now, and for the first time I have a dream of what i'd like to do with my life, (i'd Love to own my own gluten free, vegan and refined sugar ice cream and cupcake/cookie shop here in Brighton in the uk) the thought of never getting better and never having my independence back terrifies me! and it makes me incredibly insecure due to being as old as I am and i'm unable to work. I am taking baby steps to get better, I'm having very intensive therapy, and i plan to see a life coach after. but the insecurity is still there! I see your videos especially these types of videos where you talk about real issues inspiring. we all have our own insecurities, it just makes us human after all :)

[@reefatkhandkar2932]

Had the pleasure of meeting Cassey's beautiful soul at Sydney last year, she was absolutely glowing because she was happy. I didn't care at all about what she looked compared to other instructors, all I knew was that this woman is inspiring and motivating me to be better, and thats what counts 💕

[@reefatkhandkar2932]

Lindsey Sterling seems like a sweetheart as well!

[@IsabellaGracie]

This subject needs to be talked about more!! When girls (or anyone) feels insecure it's often because we're comparing ourselves to other people. It's amazing when inspiring women talk about their insecurities because it's a reminder that everyone is insecure about something and NO ONE IS PERFECT! I love this video...

[@pandorua]

Cassey is the only fitness instructor and just the only person on youtube that I really trust. With all the other fitness people I just feel insecure, like they're telling lies. And I think a reason for that is also that you don't look like a bodybuilder. You look like a very healthy and beautiful human beinh, and you talk like one. You are not trying to sell us weird supplements or giving us strange workouts. I appreciate your work so very much because it helped me so so much. You changed my life with your work and with being you. And I am so very grateful for that.

[@jacquielee5941]

I love this video and am so glad you both took the time to make it. My housemate and I have been struggling through the May calendar every morning and are in complete awe not only of the fact you can do the routines, but that you can talk all the way through them!! You're 100% fitness goals so I would never have imagined you would feel these body insecurities too. Thank you for being honest enough to admit that to us, and for continuing to put yourself and your body out there for our benefit. The haters gonna hate, but you're a star making this little milky way that much better and brighter.

[@lilyash632]

Hi, first of all I wanted to thank you for this beautiful video. Everybody need to hear things like this sometimes in their life, and I really needed this today. You know like every girl I'm not in love with myself, I always am telling that I am too fat, not strong enough, not beautiful, but I realized that that doesn't matter, what's important is to be in good health, to have people around me that I love and just enjoying that I have a good life even if I don't have a lot of money. Because money doesn't help to have love in our life. Those days, we all need love and happiness and you gave me that today, you gave me this little piece of joy that I needed since a very long time, if somebody told me one day that a video could help me to get up, I would never believe this person, but now I can say that it's true, people's expreriences can help to make choices and to look ourself in the mirror by saying "I might not be beautiful but I am unique, and that's enough". Thank you for this, you helped me. Love

[@mckenzienichols9982]

I love Casey's videos. Honestly if I feel insecure I can just turn on one of her videos and I feel so much better because she has helped me realize that it is okay not to be physically perfect. She's honestly one of the people I look up to the most.

[@sarahmcconkie5038]

I love this! I remember being floored when I saw Lindsey's Mormon Message about her eating disorder a few years ago. I wondered how anyone so gorgeous could do anything but love her body. Same with Cassey . . . like, you are SO fit and stunning and amazing at what you do, girl! But it goes to show that we all have insecurities, and I loved this honest and helpful conversation about how to deal with it all. You two are amazing! Thanks for this video.

[@double-shotgaming2486]

I love this so much!! As someone who definitely has social anxiety and just other insecurities, it is great to hear others talk about it. With Lindsey and Cassey being big KZbinrs, who always seem like they have it together, talk about this, I think it is so empowering. Thank you for making this video!

[@Lilsweetings]

I loveeee how open and honest you are. I started following your workouts as a teenager and it's been super helpful to me now that I'm an adult when dealing with my struggles of body image and all the insecurities surrounding that! I love how strong and kind you are and I aspire to be more like you, don't change for anyone!

[@5enbonzakura]

Cassey, I have asthma but I love your videos. I've only been watching you for about 4-5 months, but now I know that as you say," Train like a beast, look like a beauty." So I did, and whenever my shirt falls down a little bit at recess, everybody gets jealous of me because I have abs and they don't. I told the girls this," I'm sorry if I made you jealous, but you can work as hard as me and gain the same result." I gave credit to you and said that " You should watch this amazing fitness instructor named Cassey Ho, here's her channel Blogilates". After that girl did that, what I told her to do, she said," Ok, I just tried an entire body workout. *pants like a dog*." And this is what I told her," See? I told you it was effective!" And about the asthma part, I do have asthma I have a machine inhaler as I'm typing this. I literally love your videos that I give your videos a thumbs up before the video even starts. Asthma, has affected my life, but I put that aside, and I follow my dreams. Your videos, are very affective Cassey. I was the one who sent you the email about your video, "The Perfect Body." You should know that, no matter what, no matter what you post, there will always be a bigger side of good and influential people telling you to keep on making more videos. And there will be the side that is negative telling too stop making videos, and that you're fat. But ignore that, cause "AIN'T NOBODY GET TIME FOR THAT!" Anyway, hope you enjoy the rest of your day, and stay positive. You are such an influence on all your fans. I bet you even some of your haters turned to fans because of your motivation, dignity, and strength.

[@caangelsister]

This is really cool

[@stacihammer6262]

Thank you so much for this video! I feel so much better, and it gives me hope that I will find positive, uplifting friends. I'm transferring from a community college to a 4-year so hopefully I will find like-minded people. I too have been insecure about my body, but I've become more grateful for how strong and powerful it is. Through Piit and the 28 Day Reset, I've lost almost 25 pounds since January! My BMI has gone from the overweight to healthy range. I owe it all to you :) Thanks Cassey - keep up the wonderful work!

[@JustAnAliii]

I'm glad that I clicked on this video. I'm feeling so insecure now since I have upcoming licensure exams coming up and I feel like that I don't know anything yet or do not have as much information as my co-reviewers. Cassey is such an inspiration to me, in fitness and confidence. Thank you for reminding me that I could overcome these insecurities and that truly, our mind is stronger than our body. Thank you for being a blessing to this world. I hope I can find my balance again. Much love from the Philippines. ❤

[@blogilates]

[@graceyu5795]

[@peekatchuuu23]

I understand people are saying they want Cassey's body as a compliment, but I don't think that's the message you want to send. Having your body coveted by others shouldn't be what feuls self confidence. That again is a comparison of yourself to someone else. Confidence all takes root from yourself and how much you are driven by self love. I would rather say, something Cassey has been always been striving to beat in us, is to focus on strength. Something not physically SEEN but FELT: as an accomplishment you can fulfill, not an image! But what I love about Cassey is not just her physical strength but her mental and emotional strength. It takes a lot for a public eye fitness instructor to be real and talk about the same issues everyone comes across at least once in their life. It's refreshing, down to earth and truly wise to converse about perceptions. I absolutely am appreciative for this logic talk! 💪 Thank you Cassey and everyone in the Blogilates company/community for creating a safe space 💜

[@angelafernot3716]

Cassey, I'll be honest. When I first started following you it was BECAUSE your body is different!! My best friend and I were doing your videos and we kept saying, she's strong, but she's a REAL WOMAN! I was so so happy to find you. You have been inspiring me for years. Don't ever change!

[@dejaniracosme7822]

I love to watch videos like this one. I have social anxiety and everything I have to do that involves socializing even if its calling someone on the phone or chatting with someone I normally don't chat with on facebook, it makes me so nervous and fear starts to kick in. I don't have a lot o friends because of this disorder. People with social anxiety like me tend to compare our selves with other people. We feel lonely and like we don't fit anywhere. Its very stressful and depressing and if you don't have people who understands and support you its very difficult to overcome social anxiety. Even though we know that we have this and there is no need to get so nervous when doing simple things like calling a Dr's office we still feel the anxiety. Its an irrational fear. I will do what you guys suggested, I will start writing a journal and I know, that will help me focus on the things I am good at and not on the things I am not good at. I think that will help me not be so hard on myself and stop comparing myself with others. Thank you for this video! I wish I could have friends like you guys. :)

[@kittyheck]

You and Lindsey SO should make more videos together! You both are such amazing people and incredibly inspiring! You both have helped me to have more self confidence, to love myself, and to conquer my insecurities. I hope you have a wonderful day, Cassey! Never stop being you, because you're absolutely wonderful!

[@nashanuwar]

Fun story, today I actually cried at school, because I gained weight. I put my self on the scale and I weighed more than expected and for the past days I actually ate clean and started to exersice more.. but instead of losing weight.. I'm gaining weight 😞. Nobody saw me cry tho, so that was good 🙂. This video made me feel not lonely.

[@oscarbacon6181]

It's not about weight! You could just be gaining muscle!

[@ashng1599]

[@bangsshemida]

Nashi Annie when I started going to the gym I had to stop looking at my weight scale...coz it was doing yo yo...and the fact that your weight increases and decreases despite working out, is normal

[@ilianalabrou3611]

I love Cassey because she is unique and she has pushed me to follow and fight for my goals! Also a message to all the haters:She is not fat!! Just put it, in your little mind! SHE IS NOT FAT!!!!!!!

[@teatime9649]

I think one of the things that I know now that I wish I known when I was younger was not to give up on something I loved because of other people's opinion. I was used a few times as an example of what some other students should have been doing and because of that I lost people who I thought were friends. I was younger and it taught me at that time that if you want to be successful you don't need friends. Which is actually not true, you just have to be kind and humble and good people will surround you. But because I was a teenager I lost interest in something that I loved because I felt alone when I really wasn't. So don't give up on your dreams don't give up on your passions.

[@ikeassnakefred9891]

I'm insecure about my looks. Especially about my body. I'm slim, but still I don't have finest abs. It makes me wanna cry, because a lot of people tells me that I have nice figure, but then I sit down and and my abs goes awful. It makes me wanna cry, because I see lots of girls who have flat abs even when they're sitting. I just want to look good like, I don't know, even in a swimwear. After my workout today I sat down, ate my dinner and watched this video. I feel a little better. Thanks girls, I love you

[@ducksnaps]

Cassey, thanks so much for this video! It was filled with positivity and love and it brought a smile to my face. I think part of the reason the POP community is so close, is because you are real and honest to us. You're not some perfect star high up on a pedestal, you're a relatable real person, just like we all are, with insecurities and struggles and everything a normal person has. You inspire me to get stronger physically, but also mentally. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for sharing so much and bringing so much joy into the world

[@juliagebhardt1645]

This is soooo encouraging! I love the aspect of gratitude and implementing every single day! Love these videos! And I love Lindsey Stirling's pep talk too! Thanks, and keep up the good work Blogilates fam!

[@hoperaposo6370]

Omg! Lindsey is wearing a Giving Key! 🔑 You go girl! 😉 I love you two so much. I mean that. Lindsey, you've inspired me to never give up on my musical dreams and passions no matter what anyone says. You've shown me that if I put in the work and time to make it happen, it will happen and to never give up. And you're motives and heart is so kind and pure, that's what I love about you. Thank you for being so inspiring! Cassey, I remember when I first started working out on my own, it was hard for me. I felt so unmotivated and never wanted to work out. But then after I found you my whole world changed. Not only did you help me with working out but your motivations helped me in everyday life. You had said once to put yourself around happy people because it truly helps, and at that moment I was dealing with friends who only put me down and judged me. After hearing that I left them and it helped so much! Thank you for being so kind and motivational! To the both of you, I love you and you're group of friends. You're always so happy and I strive to have that one day. Together, you are so uplifting. Thank you for being one of those people who is real, but still inspiring! You persevere no matter what trials you go through. That is such an inspiration to all of us out here watching you two. So, sorry for that long message but I wanted to say what was on my mind. I love you both. Stay strong! 💜💜

[@Krissyboo75]

Cassey ❤ Thank you for this. Sometimes my insecurities stop me from doing so many things. Its really nice to hear you guys open up. I think also your body is wonderful the way it is Cassey! I want to get certified in POP pilates but that is something I worried about myself. Whether I had the body of a fitness instructor and if people would take me seriously if I had some cellulite in my legs or no 6 pack... but hearing you talk about this shows me I can still do it ♡

[@KNicholls2010]

Thank you so much for this video! I'm a photographer, and had a full. blown. meltdown. the other night because I feel so insecure about my work, and like I'm not good enough and never will be. Having mother f'ing LINDSEY STIRLING say that she gets insecure about her violin playing really made me feel like it's okay and normal to doubt what we do, even if we're good at it. This definitely gave me some inspiration to keep working hard, and is a reminder that being insecure doesn't mean I should give up.

[@brigitcrumley549]

Can I just say how I love that Cassey is different from other fitness instructors?!? I feel like all the others say things like "come on, don't be a wimp, you can do it!" while cassey actually encourages you in a really really unique way 💕

[@oscarbacon6181]

About 13 months ago, I injured my knee. After steadily dancing for 9 years, (I'm 12 now), I had to come to a complete halt. I found out it was a bone bruise. After a year of PT, my physical therapist sent me back to my orthopedist to get another MRI. We found out that I have Patella Alta, meaning my kneecap is way higher then where it should be but I was probably born with it. It hurts a lot and makes me more susceptible to knee injury. Because I don't want surgery yet, the only option is to strengthen my quads to take the weight of my knee. With just a couple of your videos, I am feeling stronger and healthier. (Though I have been using your channel for a couple months now). I really wanted to thank you for making me feel better about myself and promoting a healthy body image for everyone.

[@sentimentalmaniac392]

I love this video. I'm sure every girl has insecurities like you two said, but letting yours out ON THE INTERNET is one step further than we'd all do. appreciate your bravery and honesty, and the fact you strive to help other people with the simple at home workouts! ♡♡♡♡

[@heilheidiiii]

CASSEYYYYYYYY!!!!! YOU have been an inspiration to me for over 4 years. YOU made me want to recover from my eating disorder. seriously, you are a big part of what still keeps me going.

[@soffeegirl]

I've heard and listened to Lindsey for a while but never really got into her too much but after seeing this video and how warm she is, I definitely want to listen to her more! Thanks for doing this video! Especially the current mental state I've been in myself, this video has been helpful

[@Wonders_]

Thank you so much for this!! I know every girl has gone through eating problems and body issues. I know what you mean when you say your both Insecure about your talents. But you don't let it stop you from going for it. 💕 very inspiring! Thats why i like you casey you are real and aren't sorry for who you are. Can you do more videos like this and a motivating video on how to get back on track? Always how you researched the fitness aspect and the right way to eat and exercise.

[@skylertan5078]

That quote about how health looks different on everyone is really amazing. Honestly my goal is to be like you Cassey!!! The fact that you can talk and look so on form while going through the work outs and the fact that you've always been so positive and upfront with your audience brightens up my day. My fitness and weight journey has been up and down but you've been there when I needed a compass. So thank you girl and thank you for this video with Lindsey!

[@secretly98]

I really love these! They are the best thing to watch when you'll have bad day or somehow need a friend! Love you Cassey! Thank you for life-changing mindset! I have been trying to support my friends because I'm perfectionist and competitive. You make me be more gentle to myself.

so true! I'm a professional makeup artist and I'm always comparing myself to other artists especially on social media, I'm trained, I went to school and have been doing it for about 6 years have worked for Sephora, Estee Lauder, Clinique, Lancome, Channel, etc. and I still feel that sometimes I'm not as good as other makeup artists but then I just remember if I wasn't good, I wouldn't have the clients I have but social media just make it so hard because you have real artist, social artist, self-thought and sometimes its hard not to compare yourself.

[@Livelovelaughlila]

Still watching video but Cassey, I hope you know that because you are different from the typical fitness instructor, not only your body but your silly, down to earth, vulnerable, and motivational personality that makes you so relatable. It's a strength that makes you special and what created and made the pop pilates community grow. I am so grateful toward you who opened my world to working out but even more so for your positive and motivational attitude. No matter where I end up, biking, cardio, zumba...I always come back to you because your videos are the ones the remind me the true reason why I want to work out. It's not just for a good body, but to strengthen my mind :) Hope you know you help people feel enpowered and I enjoyed watching you grow too over the years 😙 Btw, are you getting into overalls trend?? You look so adorable in them!!!

[@mermelody]

Cassey I love your videos. Wether it's a workout video or an advise video like this one, it's always so relaxing and it just makes me feel so much better by the time I'm done watching it

[@adriannacard5616]

I'm really sorry people call you out for not being "fit enough." I think so many fitness goals are RIDICULOUS and all about looks. I think you look vibrantly healthy and I love that you don't have a super ripped, unrealistic-for-most-of-us body. THANK YOU for being real and posting awesome workouts!!!

[@chasing_ambiences9124]

Cassey!!! I love your body! Its obvious you eat and exercise for your health and not just for a superficial image! You are one of the few instructors that doesn't make me hate myself for not looking like you but inspire me to LIVE healthy and LOVE myself like the way you do!

[@xSunnyShuka]

Hi Cassey, I'm honestly quite insecure about my body shape and body fat, as well as my personality and academics/intelligence. I'm so self-conscious about how shy, awkward and boring I can be around people, especially strangers (friends of friends, co-workers). I wish I could be as easy-going, happy and "chill" like many people around me but I'm just not that person. I'm afraid I'm not good enough for the university program I'm in. It's so hard to have faith in myself when I feel like I don't belong among the group of intellects and over-achievers. And then there's my body too-- I have this layer of fat over my abs that i keep obsessing over and I want it to melt off. I'm also insecure about one of my front teeth that sticks out a little, and smiling wide sometimes can be so weird for me because of that. Anyway, thank you for this casual talk-through and reflective video! Both of you are so perceptive, kind and hard working people.

[@87holdfast]

What you said could have come from my own mouth. The only difference is, I feel I'm too tall, and too thin. Our thinking is wrong. The way our bodies look isn't at all as important as how we use them, such as lifting others up, loving them (even if we are awkward), sharing our talents...even loving ourselves and our differences. It's good to be healthy, and there is nothing wrong with dressing cute, but we put way too much stock in outer, temporary looks. I've ranted enough. :) You were created the way you are, and you are loved.

[@xSunnyShuka]

Thank you for the reply ❤ It was honestly such a surprise and made me so happy. You're so kind

[@lifeinyogapants]

This was amazing!! The most profound was when Cassey asked "what is that 10-15lb worth?" I couldn't have phrased it any better, having struggled with those 10-15lbs for half of my life. So much truth in that one statement. Btw, watching this while doing the 1000 squat challenge :P kept me going strong!

[@libertyhicks7876]

You've motivated me to start working out. I'm a small person but I am not in shape. Working out with you, or learning these new moves I can do, I start to feel so good about myself. I'm doing a little better every time I work out with one of your videos, able to go longer before having to stop in pain or do a move I couldn't survive before.

[@kstjshin]

SO much in this video is SO very relevant. I love hearing about their insecurities and how similar these successful people are to myself and others. It reminds me that I'm not alone. Everyone gets insecure, not just me. We all rock even when we think we don't. Don't pay attention to others' accomplishments. You are not them and you shouldn't compare yourself to them.

[@emmasellers6207]

I'm in a great group of friends who are very supportive! Yesterday my (incredibly skinny) friend was feeling bad about her body because some people said she had big thighs and when they picked her up she felt heavy. That to her was she needs to loose weight. That kinds made me feel bad because this girl who to me is body goals and to her she said was I WAS BODY GOALS! I couldn't believe it! So I talked to her about it for a while. We all have insecurities that may be surprising to others but we just need to work through it!!!

[@BlackNekoHime]

Thank you for being so honest and be brave enough for sharing this! (Yes, the "brave enough" is a shout out to Lindsey Stirling's album; beautiful album!) I think many boys need to see this, also. Everyone falls into this and everyone has insecurities. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@joelle6201]

This is exactly what I needed to see today! It's so important to have moments like this where we can be open and vulnerable with each other.

[@xueying2210]

You guys are inspirations and role models. I feel so insecure whenever I go out onto the streets and I keep comparing myself to the others and I can't help myself. I am still trying to embrace myself and this video is definitely a great reminder.

[@georgiarussell2282]

hey Casey, I just want to tell you that I have been doing your workouts since 2013 and I love them, there are no other fitness instructors like you, I've tried many different ones but I always end up back at yours because there fun and rewarding. 💜

[@agessentials2126]

Cassey, thank you so much! I struggle with my body image and your workouts really help! I always quit when I would workout before. But with you working out right along side me, feeling my pain, and urging me to keep going and take control I now am working out with your videos a couple times a week. Thank you!!

[@averyvarvar3812]

I've looked up/admired to Lindsey Sterling for so long! I love that you include her in your videos! It's so great seeing different sides of people you appreciate. You two are awesome, beautiful souls

[@TheFitnessMarshall]

This made me happy

[@kimlien637]

I love you Cassey! I think your a great instructor and all your videos are short but super effective when I need a quick stretch, yoga, etc... just wanted to let you know that I'm a huge fan and that I bet you are helping many people.

[@Medewtysenu]

This feeling of being insecure is a daily companion, I've been trying to improve my singing voice but I worry that others won't like it. It causes me to resist putting up any videos. On the other hand insecurity can be a good thing because it keeps a person from becoming arrogant. I dunno, hopefully I can overcome it eventually. Like your Dad Lindsey my Dad has esophagul Cancer and he lives so far away, I am afraid that I won't get the chance to say goodbye. I have no family here in Phoenix and I feel so alone most of the time. I sing for myself to relive the burden of loneliness. It is my hope that if I can become good enough I can help others to not feel so alone either, just as your music helps me to feel not so alone.

[@abbyav91]

You are two of the most inspiring and positive people out there, I really enjoy this kind of videos (I'm sure everyone does) cause this kind of topics are worth talking, and maybe not everyone likes to talk about their insecuirities but we all have them, and is good to remember that we should not focus on them, and more important to stop comparing ourselves with others. Thanks for this video, you are so lovely and sweet! :)

[@narekad3261]

Love it when you make videos like this ❤️

[@blogilates]

Nare Sakoian I wanna do more!

[@ccortez5816]

YAY!

[@sheviking1723]

blogilates You, AND Lindsey Stirling? Does it get any more awesome?

[@Ookami808]

This was amazing to listen to and I am glad I clicked on this video. You two are truly and inspiration and I hope you keep doing the things that bring you joy because that is the best way to be a role model for someone. It is nice to hear you open up because sometimes people need to hear inspiration like this before they take the first steps.

[@NoraTKD]

Great video Cassey and Lindsey! You both have a beautiful mind, body and soul. You are sharing kindness and positivity both online and offline. You inspire others and motivate people in many ways. Keep up the great work! xoxo

[@hannahschwartz9576]

I always love when you make videos like this! I will always have insecurities, I think that they are apart of life. The goal is to not let them take away from my life, but to enhance it. Thank you so much Cassey!

[@articolvi2632]

i really needed to hear this, and having you guys just talk about it like this just felt like a bunch of friends just chilling at a slumber party or something just talking. i love you both and thank you for this ^_^

[@franchescajovica8647]

I'm so thankful you made this video. I needed this. I struggle with insecurities and anxiety daily. I just need to keep believing my mind is stronger. Thank you for all of the tips and for sharing your stories.

[@melindaa.5799]

thanks cassey and lindsey! Love these open conversations. It helps a lot!

[@Nomz505]

OMG I love you! You're the most relatable fitness instructor ever. In a sense I feel like other instructors have a way of making you feel like you're not good enough and that you need to "work on it," but not you. You're very encouraging and uplifting in a comforting, non-body-shaming way! Also, love when you do these types of videos because your personality really shines through.

[@Kat-of-dragons]

comparison is the thief of joy!!! you guys are wonderful. thank you.

[@silsilialienardi4994]

after watching your videos, I always feel so motivated to workout, thank you so much Cassey 😀

[@kristenm.5437]

This was awesome. I think whats happening is that things like Instagram etc (tho fun) are taking away our humanity. It's a one dimensional image of a multi-dimensional being. Yes, we want to feel good and loook good. But when that lines crosses into obsession, you lose yourself-not just weight. Thanks for doing this.I hope girls/women are listening.You deserve to be happy.

[@kimberlymiller566]

Love this so much!!! Y'all are two of my favorite people on youtube, and I love how you are addressing a different aspect of health - because our internal health matters as much as the physical. Love y'all! Thank you for this video!!

[@makesparkzfly]

Even though she probably won't answer as a male blogilates I love her channel and it's so fun and sentimental. This video inspired me to exercise but not so much I'm exhausted. I need to do things to my limit. As I continue my limit will slowly rise! Blogilates and Lindsey and everyone else who helps are all awesome people! Thank you Cassey

[@shaewright7428]

Love love love ❤❤ really needed this. luv you cass!

[@blogilates]

Shae Alana love you too

[@CassieTranthesuperfitbabe]

This really resonated with my insecurities about always being perfect. I really enjoyed watching this video and listening to you and Lindsey share your thoughts! Love you both so so much! ❤️❤️❤️

[@nataliefields9009]

To everyone who is watching this video: YOUR BODY IS BEAUTIFUL. YES I AM TALKING TO YOU. Advertisements and media try to make us feel EVEN MORE insecure. Believe you are beautiful. No body else is in charge of how you feel except for you! Just work on being confident and owning what you have! Life is not all about appearances and your body is just a vessel that gets you through life. We should be HONORING our bodies (self care, eating healthy, exercising) instead of hating it or attacking it because all it's trying to do is GET YOU THROUGH LIFE! If something happens to your body, you can't do the same things you're used to doing everyday. So please, smile, and love yourself damnit

[@nightlysobbing]

nat dancefie thank you.

[@beauty2333]

What a lovely comment and well said. We have so much pressure to be a perfect shape but the reality is beauty is in variety

[@libraarc]

thanks for doing this video cassey. I stopped doing your workout videos and really miss it because I lost alot of weight for this eliminatiom diet I am doing to try and help my eczema. But I feel happy to be able to watch these kinds of videos

[@SurrealifiedTV]

This is why I haven't done any fancy editing on my videos or my pictures. I'll save that for later when I have the money for editing software (to cut out all the extra ums and uhs). I'm really insecure but I think I'm addicted to putting myself out there and having the constant adrenaline pumping through me as the fear of receiving hateful comments fills me. I can't think of any other reason why I keep doing this even though I'm absolutely terrified and full of self-doubt. Thank you for sharing!!! It's given me a boost of confidence to keep trying to make videos and get my voice out there. ^_^

[@samanthab679]

Cassey is a unique physical instructor. And I admire how she's different from other physical instructors. Cassey's pretty the way she is

[@mikayamada4919]

This came at the perfect time. Thank you both so much for being so real and humble. You give such love and strength to all of us!! I love you!

[@AngelFrost02]

my love handles and belly fat and everything that I've gained this past year = my insecurities :( it is from all the binge eating i did during my first year of college and ij ust need encouragement that it is possible to lose the fat because it feels like it will never go away but I also know that I am inpatient and always want to see results right away haha. I hope everyone is feeling good today! I love you all

[@Gwadelinianka]

I'm so happy you're doing these kind of videos, not only we get to work out with you but also we get to hear some really optimistic wisdom (thanks for that Cassey!!!)

[@midorihat]

Such an important conversation to have!! Thank you guys!! Cassey you are super cool, and it's true, only you can do what you were made to do - and so so many of us are thankful for that!! Ya'll are gorgeous!!!

[@Michaelina]

I'm glad that they made this video. I like how honest they are and how similar their insecurities are to ours. Thanks for making this Casey and Lindsey.
