- Hey guys, Cassie here. So before we start, today's quick burn, which will be all about the saddlebags, AKA the outer thighs. I have some questions to
ask you, first of all, how are we doing on your workout calendar? Are you killing it? If you're not come on, try to
find that inner motivation. And it's not just pure vanity,
it's about having fun, right? If you can find the joy in working out, you will stick to the
calendar and you'll sculpt your best body, I'm serious though. The change starts from within. Okay and secondly, I am seeing so many excited posts about POP stars who are joining the POP Pilates instructor training. And it is so crazy that you guys, who started working out with me on YouTube are now teaching classes at the gym. AKA, you are getting paid to work out. That is so, so cool. And that's kind of how I
thought of it as I started back when I was in college and
now it is my entire career. So if you guys wanna get POP certified, just go to poppilateslife.com
and all the info is on there. Now let's go ahead and get
started for those outer thighs. You don't need any shoes,
any equipment, lets go. All right, I want you to go ahead and lie down on your side for me. In fact, I want you to
extend that arm all the way as if you're about to
go to sleep, kind of, 'cause people sleep like this and one hand right in front. Check it out, guys. This is called the Half Clam Hinge. You're gonna in a bring your
toe, right above your knee. Okay? Press your pinky toe on the
other foot, down into the mat. And all you're gonna do
is bring the knee down and lift it up and open, okay? Bring the knee down, lift it up and open. As you can see, you are using
your outer thigh muscles and you're glutes to lift up that leg. Beautiful and you wanna control it. Try not to roll your body around. Keep your chest facing towards me and your pelvis facing towards me as well. Can you try not to roll around? We're not playing roly-poly here. Okay, keep it controlled,
you're doing so good. Inhale through the nose as you come down, exhale through the mouth as you
lift up, are you feeling it? And I know you are because
I am, okay, very good. Lift, give me four more right here. It's a four and three, two more and you gonna keep it up there. One more now and lift and hold, okay guys. Keeping that leg right there. We're gonna lift up a bottom leg. What? I know, ready? Let's go. Lift up and down. Hello? That's right, you didn't
know you could do it until right now, it's
possible, up and down. Now keeping everything on
the side side of your body. I don't wanna see rolling
back onto your booty, no, no. We're leaving it right here. Oh my goodness. Do you feel outer thigh? Tell me if you feel outer
thigh, yes because I do. You're doing so good, come on. And lift and lower,
now this is going to be a quick break burn. And as you can see, it's already burning. It's already burning,
'cause these are moves you haven't seen before, in moves, that will be effective for you, okay? And you should try all the
videos and the quick burn series. They are good. Now give me three more, three and two. And I want you hold
one, hold one, hold it, hold it, straighten that
leg, lift a little higher. (exhaling) Very good, lift a little
higher, one more time. Lift a little higher and bring it down. Oh my goodness. Now bend that bottom foot
and extend that top foot. Flexing your foot this
time, not pointing, okay? Now you can stay here, if you
feel like your neck is tired, your head is tired or you can
lift up and take a look at me. (chuckles) Okay, so check it out guys. All you're gonna do is
lift the leg up like so. Okay, just a side leg lift,
really normal, really normal. Until, we bring it to the front, okay? So this is the side, now
give me a front leg lift. Woo, okay. And back, yes, there we go. Move it to the front, lift down and back. (exhales) And you got it. Do you feel thighs and but? Uhuh, it is working for you. Let me see your flex foot. Can you flex it a little bit harder? Nice and when you lift up
to the ceiling or the sky, try to lift your entire side foot up, really let that lead you, beautiful work. Up and down. Good stuff and guys, thank
you for suggesting this video because I didn't realize
that the last time I had done a saddlebag
workout was literally like, four or five years ago. That's a long time and
apparently someone said that, the music or the voice was
stripped from that video. So basically it's like, I
never had a saddlebag video, so here we go. I'm making up for it with this one. Up and down. And if you ever have any
suggestions for body parts that you wanna murder, well, then let me know in the
comments below, okay? 'Cause I will work you,
I'll work you good. All right, give me three and two, one more now. And one lift, lift and you keep pulsing. OMG, leg is working. My goodness, who feels it? Show me your hand. Who feels it? Yeah, let's go up and up. (exhales) Eight, seven, count with me. Six and five, come on, four, three, almost there, two, hold. One and bring it down. Oh my goodness. That was real good, I think
I'm gonna leave myself, mark there, 'cause I bruise really easily. Okay, lift yourself up and let's switch arou to the other side. Lengthening the arm, relaxing
the head right on top. We're starting over, with
that half clam hinge. So slide the toe right above
the knee and here we go. It's a down and up, down and up. Keeping your body from
rolling forward, you hear? No rolling forward. Excellent job, that is nice. Have you seen that video like
its more than just a video, but there's like a Cheese-roll
competition or something where people like roll down the hill. It looks like you could really
hurt and be super dangerous. I don't know. I don't think I would ever
do that, I just wouldn't. You know how, when you're
a kid and people, you know, try to make it super
fun, through cartoons, like rolling down hills? I always felt really
itchy after I did that. So I was like, "Mm-hmm, not my thing. "Rolling down hills is not my thing." So right now we're going
to keep your hips forward, your chest forward and
you're gonna stay still. You shall not roll. Good, now give me three (exhales)
and two, exhale and one, hold it open, love it. Now let's go ahead and
bring that bottom leg up. Let's go lift and lower, up and down. So good (exhales), very nice. Same breathing pattern. You always exhale when it's hard and you inhale when it is easy, okay? That makes a lot of sense right? Up and down. How you feeling out there? You feeling okay? I just have to say, thank you
so much for waking up today and doing this workout with me. Whether you are feeling,
you know, super good or having a bad day. Doesn't matter, working out
will make you feel better. And that's why I've always done it, because it makes me a happier person, makes me sharper, smarter and stronger. So why won't you wanna do
something that, you know, can give you all that? Plus it's free. So kudos to you, for putting
your life in your own hands and becoming a happier
and healthier human being. All right,, one more now, lift
up, hold and bring it down. Love, bend the knee, flex the foot. Are you ready? Okay, here we go. And heel lifting up. Heel lifting up and you
can stay right there or you can lift up your head. Remember, it's up to
you because right now, we're focusing on the lower body and I want you to be comfortable up here, so that you put all your
energy in the lower body. All right, guys, we're gonna go forward. Here we go. Forward, lift down and back. Up (exhales). So good, I love it. Every time I go up and then I come back, I feel it, so crazy. And I want you to flex your
foot as hard as you can. And really lead with the heel,
as you lift up to the ceiling or the sky, I always have to say that, because sometimes I do work out outside and there is no ceiling. So ceiling and there's
no ceiling in your life. Nothing is gonna stop you but yourself, so I want you to keep pushing, okay? Up, love it. Now a lot of times our own
insecurities are our barriers. And it's hard to admit that,
you don't wanna think that, you're the one to blame and you know what? You to blame yourself. But I also, I want you to think
that you are the solution. So just know that anytime
you run into any trouble, you have the answer, you really do. And sometimes it takes time. It takes talking to
people, it takes, you know, failing and learning. But you really are the one with the power to change your own life. Okay, now I want you to lift and hold. And we an we pulse, we pulse. OMG, now don't think about the pain. Think about how stronger you're gonna get. Think about this leg,
think about this booty. Yeah, let's go. Give me eight, seven, six, count with me. Five, four, three (chuckles), two and one. Hold it and bring it down. Oh my goodness. Bruise on the other side too. All right guys, that's it. You did so amazing. Give this video a thumbs up,
if you made it to this point, I need to know and comment
below and let me know, what other workouts you
would like to do next time. Not just quick burns, but
literally anything like, do you want dance workouts? I don't know, dance workouts. I like dance workouts (chuckles) and I will see you next time. Thank you so much for joining me. I love you so much, bye. (blowing kiss) (upbeat music)
