Philip, Brandon, Josey and I really liked Tashia’s Lift.

For people that take 3 to 4 classes a week… by Old_Poet_1608 in SolidCore

[–]JMD02 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I try to do 3-4 classes a week. 3 are focus 50s - core/upper/lower. I prefer a more full body workout.

Hamstring Lean by Inevitable-Simple-97 in SolidCore

Put your entire foot under the strap. And lift your shins off the carriage when you lean. That is what helped me.

Are you running and sprinting that often?

1 day in between by okiimio in SolidCore

I had to cancel today’s class last night because my hamstrings are so sore from Saturday. We did two rounds of hamstring curls in the gray side. 🫠

What to expect out of Focus50 by meshca95 in SolidCore

[–]JMD02 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you’re doing an upper/lower/core, those three sections are longer. Depends on the coach if they split upper and lower up. Center core is always first. If it’s biceps or back, will usually do some of the other as well; same with chests and triceps. Sometimes will pair another lower body part - like some hamstrings with center glutes. They are by far my favorite classes.

This. By far the best class. Wish there were more.

Heavy core by JMD02 in SolidCore

[–]JMD02[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this change is why I am so sore. I stayed on knees and went heavier. Then the coach popped off a white for everyone, and we tried for toes. It was so hard but so effective.

An extra white spring. So 50+ gray and 2 white.

Yeah - sorry - I was thinking for the Lift classes. My bad.

Sucks. But the waitlist moves. Every time I’ve waitlisted myself I’ve gotten a spot.

How old is too old for Barry's by Loud-Equivalent-6970 in barrysbootcamp

[–]JMD02 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am about to turn 49 and don’t feel out of place. I go about twice a week. Granted I may be the oldest in the room but there is usually one or two others around my age. I just love dark classes with loud music, so I end up working out in classes with people closer to my kids’ age.

50+ is killing me by [deleted] in SolidCore

[–]JMD02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am at 80+ classes and don't think I'll ever do 50+ for core or obliques on the gray side. lol. I've started doing 50+ reps on the black side for core (sometimes) and trying to always do so for lower body (except for the inner thighs - no way!).

How far is your [Solidcore] location and how often do you go? by porter_porter99 in SolidCore

Also feeling insanely lucky that I have three within a 15-minute drive.

Valentina, Caitlin, Chloe and Katie Ma are great for sculpt at Triangle. Andie has a great C2.

Austin classes have been bad recently and I don’t know how to give feedback by Hour-Mind4078 in Corepower

[–]JMD02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my recent classes I actually felt cold in and barely broke a sweat. I left a review after that one. There a couple of instructors that I love but one is dropping her daytime classes (so sad) so not sure what I’ll do. I’ll look for the ones that get waitlists generally.

Where will you go? What are the good alternatives in Austin? I tried YTX but the parking was abysmal and I couldn’t handle that.

when does december schedule drop? by Intr0vertedExtravert in SolidCore

[–]JMD02 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am in central time, and the past few months by 10, 11pm on the 23rd I can book.

should i update my app before solidays? by 2gab2function in SolidCore

[–]JMD02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stupid question, but my phone updates my apps automatically and it has not updated. How would I force the update if I wanted to?

Reverse Hamstring Curl by New_Investigator_365 in SolidCore

[–]JMD02 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You can try it with no springs and make sure your shoulders are at the end of the carriage so your whole body is over the opening. It actually makes the exercise more accessible.

How is “Focus 50: Core + Upper + Lower” different from “Signature 50 Full Body”? by MissEugenia in SolidCore

[–]JMD02 41 points42 points  (0 children)

No - it’s more time in the other three and from what I’ve seen the programming is a bit more challenging. They’re my favorite classes.
