Metabolic booster workout and legs

Hello Fluffies, 

I haven't been updating much because it's been pretty much blogilates videos everyday. I didn't have time to think about what I really want to do to 'up' my workouts so I just did whatever's on the calendar. 

But for today, I decided to add 2 more workouts to my calendar routine. These are new and I've never done them before.

1. 30 Day Fat Burn: Metabolic Booster Workout:

This one was tiring.. Not as tiring as a full on kick boxing cardio or HIIT workout but still tiring nonetheless. 

2. 30 Day Fat Burn: Legs and Butt Shaper Workout:

This one was... okay? Compared to most blogilates booty workouts, I'd say this is pretty mild. So doable, I can't really feel the burn.

I didn't try the whole 30 day thing. In fact I've never followed any specific diet and exercise plans. I just can't bring myself to cut off all that ice cream and chocolates. My vices.. but they're good for my soul. That's why I've never had the motivation to follow through those 30 day plans, bikini body in 4 weeks kinda thing. I'd much rather take it slow and have no time limit. It's a lifestyle right? Yes. I said yes for you. You have to agree with me lol.

Maybe I'll update again soon after my literature review submission. Until then.. its blogilates videos alll the wayyyy as I drown in school work and my part time job :/

1000 SQUATS

Hi Fluffies,

It's been quite a busy week so far. Despite the hustle and bustle, I did not stop working out and I'm proud to say that I have accomplished the craziest fitness feat for myself so far. 

Absolutely one of my proudest moment.

THE THOUSAND SQUAT CHALLENGE.

I . PERSPIRED . LIKE . A . PIG .

Can I do a 1000 squats? Sure as hell you can. You can go through this 45mins of leg burning because its really not as hard it sounds. I chickened out when the video first came out. Now, I wouldn't mind doing it again.

The final set of 100 squats was the hardest because the rollover squat variation took a toll on my lower back for some reason. Otherwise, it was good.

The rest of the week would be a ton of blogilates videos according to the calendar which I urge you to check it out because it is sooo convenient to be able to just follow a regime for the whole week and not worry about which parts to work everyday!

Cardio Core Thursday and Wednesday Arms

Hello Fluffies,

This was yesterday's workout.

1. Sleek and sexy arms for beginners

2. Arms on fire

3. Back on fire

It was arms day and because I thought I would be making a trip to the zoo with my boyfriend, I only did 3 workout videos thinking that I would be clocking in alot calories burned in the cardio department. Unfortunately, we were stuck in Vivocity due to the rainy weather :/

I had the intention of finishing up my arm workout today but decided not to because I got lazy lol

So for today, its cardio core!

1.Flat Belly fat burner:

2. 5 min Fat burner:

3. 5 Best Abs exercises:

4. POP Pilates: Hot Abs:

6. Thigh trimmer & Butt Lifter:

I ended it off by switching one of the ab workouts to a butt workout just because.

 I found out something amazing today.. I can do fried barley! So yay to more fibre and lower GI carb alternative :) If you're wondering, this lunchtime mess is fried barley with vegetables and eggs with sriracha sauce topped with sesame seeds. 

After my student orientation session at SIM (I was so nervous for some reason), I spent a part of my afternoon waiting in Wang Coffeeshop for my passport photo to be done. While waiting, I decided to do some sketching to kill time.

Getting back on track Thursday

Hello fluffies,

So its been a week since I've worked out and boy was it weird to head to the shower without sweat on my skin. I always make it a point to sweat a little (at least) everytime before I head to the shower. So I like to do some squats etc.

A week of being cardio-less made me want to blast some cardio workout, just to make me feel better about all those food that I had. 

1. Jillian Michaels: Banish Fat Boost Metabolism Workout:

I only made managed to finish up until the 40th min. I just couldn't carry on anymore.

2. Victoria's secret Bombshell Butt workout:

And of course I had to work my butt after a week of not doing any butt work!

3. POP Pilates: Pippa's Butt workout:

4. POP Pilates: Super Butt Workout:

I feel really tired after today's workout. It's pretty crazy how within a week, my stamina for cardio work have taken a dip. (even after a week long of carb loading lol) 

I tried to press on for as long as I could, stopping when I started seeing stars. Every time I try to do cardio exercise again after a hiatus, I would vomit or get dizzy. I would definitely stop immediately and take a rest. The subsequent exercise sessions would get more manageable afterwards. 

It is important not to push yourself too hard. Your body is your temple. Be kind to your body and you will see results that you want.

Belated wednesday log + Thursday Cardio Core!

Hi Fluffies,

May I just begin with some whining? 

I've been sneezing ALL DAY. My nose is RAW. And I developed some weird rashes on my eyelids after taking this breakfast popsicle selfie. I sooo had to pose with it because its blueberries baby.

Posing with my blueberry popsicle for breakfast haha

I decided to press on and do my workout for the day anyway despite constantly having to wipe my snot :s but my experiences with doing my workouts while having flu or allergies have always been better than expected. Many times, I find myself feel even better after working out.

Wednesday's workout was simple. It was all of blogilates' calendar's workout for Upper Bod wednesday. 

1. Bikini Blaster 4: Awesomesauce Arms

2. Bikini Blaster 7: Bodacious back and sleek shoulders

3. Toned Arms & Sculpted Back

4. Pop pilates: Back attack

I changed up Thursday's cardio core routine as I thought it was too little cardio:

1.  XHIT- Selena Gomez Full Body workout:

2. Heart on Fire POP Cardio:

3. Abs on Fire:

4. POP Kicks: Total Body Cardio Kickboxing workout:

5. 5 Best exercises to flatten your lower belly:

6. What Makes you BOOTYFUL butt challenge:

Of course, how can I possibly forget to add in a little bit of butt work :)

Anyway check this out, how cute is this mini potter garden! My friend got me this as my belated birthday present and I really really love it :)

Happy Thursday everyone :)

CARDIO thursday

Hi Fluffies,

Here is my very weak attempt at trying to do food styling. Obviously it is a disaster. My snow white and little dwarf couldn't save the day :(


However, I would like to talk about this jar of goodness here. It is Pu-er Tea with lemon slices and okay, theres a chunk right there.  The Pu-er tea is a type of dark tea that is produced in Yunan province, China.


"The soothing properties, aid digestion and are perfect after heavy or greasy meals. More recent studies indicate powerful cholesterol lowering effects, blood cleansing properties and aid significantly in weight loss efforts. Many published studies have been done showing the enormous health benefits of this wonderful tea."

Although dark Pu'erh tastes much like black tea, it is not black or oolong tea, but falls into a category of its own. Pu'erh is processed much like black tea with the exception of a couple steps. The tea is picked, processed and partially fired allowing the leaves to retain moisture. The slightly moist tea is then piled. The natural bacterium on the leaves creates a reaction similar to that of a compost pile. The tea is then aged, in special underground rooms or caves, adding to its unique character. One of the most significant distinctions of this tea is that it gets better over time. These aged teas are prized and can be found in vintages, like wine, some dating back 40 to 50 to 100 years.

I've been drinking Pu-erh tea for a long time and I find that it always helps to cleanse my stomach after a meal and I just love how it tastes with lemon. It tastes a little bit like SOD tea although I like this better. 

If you are looking to lose weight, drink tea to give a little extra boost to your weight loss plan :) And even if you are not, it wouldn't hurt to give your body a little cleanse every now and then :)

So today on Cassey's July calendar, it is CARDIO day. I didn't really like what was listed today so I decided to plan my own list of workouts instead for higher intensity. 

Today's workout will consist of cardio workouts from XHIT Daily and a butt workout from Be.Fit. Not a great variety of youtube channels here but its a change XD

So here's today's workouts in sequence!

1. Fat Burning Full body workout

2. Best Exercises For Burning Calories

3. Best Cardio Workout: Kickboxing

This was tough. Really tough. If you are like me, someone with a bad sense of balance, you would find it very difficult to hold ur core in place to prevent yourself from shifting while throwing those punches.
Due to space constraints, I replaced the skipping rope by holding on to 2 dumb bells 4 pounds each, and just swing it the way I would with a skipping rope. It was KILLAH

4. 8-Minute Boot Camp Workout

5. Navy Seal Workout

One of my all time favourites because it gets me sweating in no time.

6. Tracey Mallett | Firm Butt Workout: Phase 1- Lose The Belly Flab

And of course, the finally workout, the toning workout, done with resistance tubes. If you noticed, I like doing butt work. I'm on a quest to build a butt XD 

That's it for today's workout!
