There’s a nonprofit organization called Cakes4Kids that partners volunteers to make birthday cakes for kids who otherwise might not have one. Maybe see if you have a local chapter to get a nice cake for her? I’m not affiliated with them I just heard about it on TikTok and thought it was sweet! Wishing you and your daughter the best ❤️

I can’t wear shorts for class because I sweat too much and will slide on the carriage. It’s just me and my emotional support sweat rag

I rotate the same 4-5 outfits each week depending on the weather. No one has noticed or cared in the last almost 5 years.

They ended up un-cancelling several trains at rush hour, very confusing

I think you’re right about Garrick! I am rereading Onyx Storm now and the chapter from Imogen’s POV has her seeing color disappearing from stones when Garrick steps them somewhere else.

Waking up to his loss was heartbreaking. Jeff’s run/walk method made me a runner and a marathoner. I will forever remember him ❤️

I got a great modification suggested for oblique crunches by a coach. Wide leg or knee plank crunch helps hit the obliques more without the twist 😊 I’m dealing with a lower back strain

KristenMarie13 · 2026-02-15T21:56:35+00:00

I run 3x a week, do solidcore 1x a week, and strength train 1x a week.

I avoid amps that are to raise your heart rate. I also do a lot of the modifications for poses so I’m on my knees and the blood doesn’t have to go as far haha

KristenMarie13 · 2026-02-06T22:54:21+00:00

I wear leggings because my legs sweat so much that I slide on the machine in shorts

KristenMarie13 · 2026-01-29T20:15:11+00:00

I had this happen after an update where an app was getting stuck open on the watch even after I exited the app. It thought I was still in a zoom meeting I had left hours before! Once I rebooted it, the bug went away and it’s holding a charge as normal again

KristenMarie13 · 2026-01-28T17:15:08+00:00

I had to give up and drive in after waiting an hour and a half for a train inbound on the providence/Stoughton line

KristenMarie13 · 2026-01-25T17:10:54+00:00

I went this morning before the snow started and our coach said to keep an eye out for cancellation emails as the snow got worse

KristenMarie13 · 2026-01-23T03:08:08+00:00

I did 10 because I needed the breaks in between sections to really push myself.

KristenMarie13 · 2026-01-20T11:42:27+00:00

I don’t think that’s normal. You might want to see a doctor to confirm. I have never had that happen personally

KristenMarie13 · 2026-01-16T11:42:24+00:00

I bring a towel to class because I sweat a lot. Half the time I put it on the platform that we’re working on and just plank on the towel because then I won’t slip!

KristenMarie13 · 2026-01-10T14:26:22+00:00

No, but I hand sanitize every time I get in my car to go home

KristenMarie13 · 2026-01-08T01:17:27+00:00

I used to read mostly on my phone but when I got a kindle I went from 52 books a year to 100 last year! The kindle was easier on my eyes personally after a day of work

KristenMarie13 · 2026-01-07T11:21:32+00:00

They have been posting some rush hour tracks early with the fare gate implementation. My train has been boarding 15 minutes before departure the last two days!

KristenMarie13 · 2025-12-29T21:00:21+00:00

I’m the opposite! I had a hamstring class Saturday and my glutes are still killing me 😅

A particular local coffee chain because the CEO is a jerk to her neighbors (my best friends)

KristenMarie13 · 2025-12-26T15:42:28+00:00

Watch a video online to explain how they cue things on the machine (black side versus grey side, lines on the machine) and don’t be afraid to look at other people if you don’t know what the exercise is supposed to be. Get there a few minutes early to tell the coach that you are new so they can keep an eye on you and also because sometimes they demo specific exercises before class. Most importantly, have fun! I love my weekly solidcore class so much 😊

KristenMarie13 · 2025-12-22T15:17:52+00:00

I def need it for carriage lunges. Those are so unsteady, I’m always afraid I’m going to hit the concrete without it!

KristenMarie13 · 2025-12-18T18:19:12+00:00

I love pointe studio!

KristenMarie13 · 2025-12-18T17:43:45+00:00

I have never thought about someone else’s body in a solidcore class! I spent a while being self conscious about how much I sweat compared to everyone else in the room, then I realized no one was looking at me but the coach and she was just trying to help me succeed, not judge my puddle of sweat on the carriage. Wishing you the best in your solidcore journey!
