POP Pilates: Stretching for Flexibility! (Full 10 min) Pilates Video

[Bezerkley12]

This is fantastic... I only wish it were longer!!

[lorilu17]

Some of these are hard for me and some are easy, I guess they call pilates now, but I do remember many years ago I did some of these movements with my aerobics instructor, she has so much energy my goodness...Nice video...

[lovelaugh89]

You're gonna... CUT OFF YOUR TOE!

[Dominiqueuqinimod]

It would be nice to know exactly what kind of skill set would be needed for someone to complete this workout before the actual workout begins: i.e. 'This routine is for intermediate pilates students, but I'll be offering beginner-expert level options for those of you who can't/don't want to perform all of the following positions in the exact manner or@the exact level which I will perform them at...' That's always something which I find to be VERY helpful when looking for a pilates routine! :)

[KellySummersLive]

You rock and roll. Thank you so much!

[BrucePSMF]

Great video. I need a quick stretching routine in the morning and this is perfect :-)

[carmagirl321]

After you do the bridge, how are you supposed to get back down on the floor? Everytime I try, I wind up falling on my back and it hurts. Or sometimes I try to twist so I land on my arm, but that hurts too. I love doing the bridge, but I hate getting down from it. Any suggestions?

[carmagirl321]

So I just did this and I've had a sore back and tight muscles in back for the past week or so now, and it feels so much better already.  I'm gonna make it a habit of doing this video every morning before I start my day :) If you could make a sequel to this, that'd be fantastic!

[sittingon35s]

this isn't even sexy

[TheElluisbest]

Thank you for a great video, but i was wondering can i do this in the morning just before i`ve woke up? :)

[TheElluisbest]

@TheElluisbest i mean after, not before i`ve woke up :DD

[CurlyTrini87]

Cassey Great video. I am over 300lbs and was able to do this video. Love it. Please Make a part 2

[LionRoseProductions]

Such a great video!

Thanks so much

Cassey!

[ntluvsu]

What is a good stretch to make calf muscles leaner?

[7minute2workout]

Having a flexible body really has its advantages. It is also explained in the video "Flexibility is Part of Overall Health".

[MssDiorCherie]

thanks so much cassey your vids are so fun and motivating! 

[teresacuesta]

thank u for posting this!! its a great way to start and end the day, and it is so relaxing!

[Basquette]

Love doing this routine! You're so cute when doing the saw, Cassey! Makes me smile everytime!! For the new year I hope you'll upload more stretching videos - with routines or simply different exercises which we can do and mix up on our own! Thanks so much for sharing! A very happy new year to you! :D

[TheElluisbest]

Thank you this is an amazing video!! :D

[iBrendaaah]

This is the only pop pilates I can do fairly at HAHAHAHA

[likeSnapelovesLily]

Hi, I'm a dancer, and would like to be able to do the splits, I'm pretty unflexible at the moment, I can just touch my toes... If i do this everyday how long would it take untill I could do the splits? Thanks :)

[ananbrishti]

ur body is so flexible!! i wish mine was like urs too..but i hope i can reach that flexibility by following ur workouts! thanks for ur great videos! :)

[itzbollyvoodfoo]

Do these work as a warm-up too?

[itzbollyvoodfoo]

@itzbollyvoodfoo lol nvm your last sentence cleared it up for me :p lol.

[kennydruh]

i am doing twice a day. i have scoliosis AND i am just extremely unflexible. thanks for this video :D

[Jennierose2]

this was an awesome video! she had me laughing at some points. very enjoyable :)

[AmiantosKhronos]

Was I the only one laughing during this? I laughed every single time she told me to cut off my toes, and when she introduced the bridge. I was laughing upside down because it was actually pretty fun to try. I loved this! :) I think I'll do it every morning when I wake up.

[luftundliebe323]

i'm from germany and i love those vids. i search for some german-pilates-vids too but there were not as good as those. but i've got a question. i've got scoliosis and i don't know if i even should do these exercises. :/

[ronpelto]

oh, please tell me it gets better! I can only bend about 1% of what you can do. I feel like I am becoming a rock.

[julietlysm]

"This is fun!" Hahah. You are SO cute! Great stretches!! The rolling ball totally aligned my back :)

[LucyLuluification]

Please Please do more stretching videos, I do this in conjunction with the leg back stretch video everyday, and i love them, but would love some more. :)

[pastelberry]

Damn I should start doing this every morning - my posture is always incredible and effortless after this stretch!

[ummrania]

Just wanted to say thank you, I was so sure I couldnt do the bridge and was scared when i saw you do it, but I just closed my eyes and did it, and I totally could! I feel brave and strong this morning, thanks so much! Oh, and can you give us some more stretching videos, I love them I have to do it more often its kind of like a treat after working out!

[aquadanceangel44]

I hope you always continue to make videos such as this one<3 We love you.

[alphaq40]

It looks like you are probably close to splits though.

[s4r4hh]

That mat is amazing! Where did you get it?

[SweetMisery17]

I feel like I'm working out with a friend! Love your vids! :)

[HWCBeachgirl1]

This was great! More stretching videos Please! :)

[UnderstandingAll]

hey cassie I think it's time for a upgrade 10 min stretching vid... hook us up thanks!

[cartman6606]

I think I know why your left leg is always tight and less flexible and very different from the right one

[yamyam644]

hey cassey - random question but what version of PYT by MJ was that?? that version is soo relaxing

[pianosparks]

I'm so not flexible lol.... ><

Thanks for sharing these videos! <3

[yanett95]

I do this everyday before i workout and i can do the splits now!! Thankyou for your amazing videos!! :D

[RashaTaha18]

i've been wanting to get flexible recently i've been stretching every other day after a dance workout but i wasn't sure if i was stretching properly. Now i know just to come here. I'm determined to be able to do the splits one day. I will do it. Thank you

[smallperson91]

This is amazing! I found you yesterday and I decided to do 20 mins a day.

I suffer from bad back and when I have been sitting at my desk too long my upper back is in agony! I came home from work today and did this stretching it was amazing. I just finished it and my upper back is nearly back to normal.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!

[iynn512]

[GuiltTripify]

These are fantastic stretches! Although it goes to show just how inflexible i am!

[Rueforever1]

how do you get so flexable!! Im 16 and I want to start ballet. but I feel the need to become flexable first. whats the best way to get flexable in your back and legs to do splits and do that thing where your leg is back and your back is curved?

love your videos!!! <3

[testforlove]

How much stretching would you recommend before/after doing your workouts?

I do yoga everyday - but not always at the same point in the day.

Thanks a lot. x

[blogilates]

[katiej3621]

[SoAmuseUs]

If I can't do this without bending my knees now...will I be able to do it eventually if I do this regularly?

[theplatinumrockstar1]

I'm just getting back into the swing of Pilates...I thought you were only supposed to stretch AFTER a workout?

[blogilates]

@theplatinumrockstar1 You should stretch before and after.

[oscot5]

[BloddyBaron7591]

Hey, I really love your videos! They are so great! But, I've got a question. Doing the cobra my ellbows alwas pull up to my ears. I try really hard not to do so, but they're alwas right under my chin. Is there a trick? Have a nice day!

[ewelinaecstatic]

[MrNytn2001]

my thoughts exactly... yay new video!

and two, does she know how amazing she is?

[CrestOfAbs]

Cassie great video I would much appriciate a video for flexibilty in the shoulders I have really tight shoulders and it would be great if you could make a video about that .

[Rokluver]

i found this video very useful because it's not too straining and i use it after any exercise. Thanks for uploading!

[SEPTEMBER19932009]

these are great i've started doing 20mins each day to help get ready for summer!

I love that they're only 10mins each so i can mix and match and complete them in the cmfort of my own home.

Are there any exercises you'd recommend to really blitz the fat and quickly? i'm off on holiday in 3 weeks and wsould like to look reasonably toned for the beach!

thanks,

[rozequartz1998]

@SEPTEMBER19932009 cardio blitzes the fat, pop pilates tones the musclessss :) xx

[aprilbaby9515]

oh no i cant do this... my flexibility is . . helpp :(

[Nonnukkaliini]

@aprilbaby9515 Don't worry!! And most of all, don't give up!!!! Little by little muscles DO stretch! I know, I've been there =)

[conantails]

hi cassey, i just found yr videos im really liking then.

just wanting to know is this the streching that we do before a pilates workout?

[blogilates]

@conantails yeah, you can do it before if you'd like. It is kind of long so you can take bits and pieces of it that you like and then start your regular pilates workout when you're all stretched out.

[alinamaria21]

Hello. Pls tell me when is the most good time of the day to the pilates? i luv u. kises

[blogilates]

@alinamaria21 haha, anytime of day is best!!

[dagadancee]

Hi, I love your videos! I've always been very active person, but I'm just starting with pilates, and I already love it! I got a question about that. I know everybody says it is recommended to exercise three times a week, but are there any contraindications doing 1 hour workout everyday in the morning, since it makes my day!!! :)

[blogilates]

@dagadancee nope, 1 hr everyday sounds amazing to me! go for it.

[poppa2006]

Looks like yoga to me!!

So what is it?

[rozequartz1998]
