Hi, my name is Cassey Ho and I'm a Pilates Instructor, healthy foodie freak, and the designer of oGorgeous Yoga Bags. You may have suffered through some of my POP Pilates workouts on YouTube.
Move of the Day: Pilates Press
Targets: Shoulders, back, chest, triceps, biceps, and abs
*Start in full push-up position, balancing on hands and toes. MAKE IT EASIER: Keep both knees on floor.
*Bend right knee 90 degrees so that toes point up.
*Bend elbows directly behind you, keeping arms close to body, and lowering only a few inches toward floor. Press back up.
*Do 8 to 10 reps. Switch legs and repeat to complete 1 set.
*Do 2 sets!!!
POP Pilates: Summer Slimdown Part 1
Can I just tell you how much fun I had making this video? Music’s good, moves are good. I just set the cam down and was like, k let’s do some Pilates. This slimdown series is TOUGH but that’s how I like it (and I know you like it like that too). There’s some of your favorite moves in there which were inspired by your latest posts on my facebook fan page. Thanks for always being interactive. These workouts are inspired by YOU!!!
Playlist for Parts 1 and 2 of the POP Pilates Summer Slimdown:

Here it is! The Lady Gaga “JUDAS” workout.
It is a standing Pilates routine, the heels are optional. But the leotard is not.
Youtube originally took this video off for music issues, so I re-edited some bloopers out at the end, so now it’s all good. Hopefully this stays up!
Have fun guys!!!!
“Till the World Ends” Total Body Workout! POP Pilates for Britney Spears!
I thought it’d be fun to make a real quick workout to just one song. Like the most popular song of the week! This week it’s for Britney Spears, in celebration of her music video debut of “Till the World Ends”.
It’s 3 minutes and 58 seconds of a total body workout. We go hard core in this one guys. It starts out with a couple cobra pushups and then works through your chest, arms, and core. Pretty good, I was definitely feeling it!
Umm yeah, so about the outfit! I originally was gonna go all out and wear fishnets and glitter and all that craziness so I could be a much toned down version of an Asian Britney but yeah that just didn’t happen. I kept the leg warmers though because I thought it looked cool.
Well, enjoy the video and try to do it 2-3 more times. Write me and lemme know how far you get and how you feel most importantly!!!
Love,
Cassey
POP Pilates for Beginners! I did a full length video that truly explains the principles behind some very basic Pilates exercises. If you’ve tried my set of POP Pilates workouts already out there, you may have felt like a lot of the moves were very advanced. Well, they are advanced. Don’t be intimidated. You’ll get there one day, start with this beginner’s video first.
You’ll learn about breathing, control, and proper form. Good workout for those of you who have never done Pilates before and good knowledge for you guys who have been with me for a WHILE now.
I really didn’t think it would be this long, but I guess with all of the explaining it just had to be! I hope you enjoy!
