HOT OFF THE PRESS!!! It’s POP Pilates HOT ABS!!!

Get ready to have the flattest abs of your life with music from Britney “I Wanna Go”, Casacada “San Francisco” and Lady Gaga “Edge of Glory”.

By the end you’ll wish that Gaga would just STOP SINGING for the life of you.

Also, in other news…one of my fave brands since I was in high school, BEBE just launched their newest BEBE SPORT Collection! I did a really cool 1 min vid talking about my fave looks from their new line. Because animal print is transitioning over from Spring to Fall, they decided to go cheetah, red cheetah actually, for August! What do you think? Too much? Or genius?

That’s all I have for you right now. If you want the printable to the POP Pilates HOT ABS workout, you can score it right here - just click on “CHEETAH” on the left hand side and you’ll see it in the banner.

Love you all! Sweat fashionably :P

Ok so this was the big news I wanted to share with you guys…I’m collaborating with BEBE for exclusive BEBESPORT workouts. OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!?????!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Do you UNDERSTAND that I’ve been a fan of this brand for the LONGEST TIME!???? Do you UNDERSTAND that I have their booty shorts in almost every color!!???!? Do you UNDERSTAND that I probably just died and went to heaven and that my corpse is writing this post??!!??? That is all. Stay tuned for the exclusive BEBE Bikini Bootcamp printable workout and exercise video next week. Gonna be a fun filled filming sesh this weekend. K, off to do a 4 miler with the sister and then lots of prep work. I ate some steel cut oats and blueberries for bfast. So yummy. It’s been over 1.5 weeks and I am still going strong as a vegetarian. I love it. I am able to taste my foods so much more and I am feeling lighter even though I have introduced a bit more carbs into my diet than normal. I’m preparing for my 1/2 marathon on September (the Disney Princess Half in LA) so this is why the diet requires more carbs for energy. I am still doing more research into healthy vegetarian meal plans. Will have to do a big kickoff video of this veggie revolution. Big recipe video coming soon! Ahh so many things on the plate. K sister is yelling at me to get off the comp and run with her. Toodles! Cassey

Farmer’s Market & BEBE Haul

Bought some collard greens, cabbage, and mushrooms at the farmer’s market today. Then stopped by BEBE before meeting with Sarah for a farewell Boston lunch at The Other Side Cafe on Newbury St. 

We both decided to go Vegan today. I got the Tempeh salad ($9.75) and Sarah got the Mock Chicken Salad ($10.75). Both were VERY delicious. Of course being food bloggers, we had to snap pics of our meal before devouring. It’s almost like a foodie’s way of saying grace ;)

Mock Chicken Salad, sweet and nutty.

My Tempeh Salad. Divine. We both did not even touch the rolls on our plates ;)

Also, I wanted to mention my Pilates friend and colleague Jennifer Phelan from Equinox. She teaches a Pilates Fusion class that is similar to my POP Pilates. Our boss told us to meet a while back when I first started at Equinox, but we never got to it til today!

Man we hit it off. Talking at dangerously high speeds, we were so excited to be sharing exercise philosophies and talking about how we think that the whole music/Pilates combo is the next big thing. It’s always so nice to meet someone who you can mesh with so well!

For those of you living in Boston, Jen is hosting a free Pilates in the Park event on June 26 from 10-11am in the North End. She’s a great instructor and this sounds like fun!

Ok well, lots of video editing to do for this book giveaway I am hosting for Nutrition Diva’s “Secrets for a Healthy Diet”. I need the contest to start tomorrow!!! Will also film some more workouts this weekend. Suggestions for target areas? On facebook, looks like everyone wants a new back video! Give me your input Tumblrs! Cuz seriously, your feedback is DIRECTLY where I get my ideas for the workouts you see next.

Much love,

Cassey
