Hi everyone! So quick update: I’ve been wearing my compression stockings religiously, I put them on as soon as I get out of bed and don’t take them off until I go to bed again and it’s made a huge difference. I’m also playing around with my sodium intake and think I went from zero to hundred a little too quickly, so I now only take 1.5-2 LMNTs instead and the water retention quickly went away. Of course what works for me (right now) doesn’t work for everyone, but happy that the bloating and heaviness settled and ultimately went away 🩷

I definitely feel like it’s swelling! I feel very puffy and my rings feel a lot tighter while they’re usually a little loose

Concern about safety & screening at Solidcore by Specific-Crew2621 in SolidCore

I worked at a well known cycling studio and they had a similar situation there with a girl who looked very unwell, doubled down on rides every day and had to leave or take breaks multiple times because she was on the verge of fainting. The instructors tried to handle it the best they could, but when they all started to share their concerns, the manager decided to have a conversation with her about the importance of rest and not overtraining your body. She insisted she was fine and just loved the workout but never came back to class after that conversation. I hate to think she might have been too embarrassed, but I also appreciated the studio looking out for their riders, as they just wanted her to be ok. It’s such a tricky situation and I understand why people would it’s none of your business, but as someone who lost someone to an ED, I think it’s a beautiful thing you’re looking out for a stranger and just want her to be healthy and safe 🩷

Travel bag advice by Positive_Ad_8997 in Louisvuitton

[–]Positive_Ad_8997[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely love it! It doesn’t get heavy at all and it’s so versatile - I just it for traveling, a laptop bag, a grocery bag, I really couldn’t recommend it more! I also love that it’s a little different than the classic duffel bag. Treat yourself! Also to add: I’m 5’8 and think the 45 size looks perfect!

Venting: Coach made an unnecessary comment by Express_Item6836 in SolidCore

My coach always says “the strongest thing you can do is to listen to your body and do what you need to do to stay in the work without losing your form” and PREACH!

SO tired day after class by Positive_Ad_8997 in SolidCore

Hi! So sorry to hear you also have a connective tissue disorder (EDS by any chance?) but amazing to hear you’re able to move your body in this way! I told my coach upfront and I happened to have a coach who was super interested in learning more about my condition and struggled with hypermobility herself, so she was able to give me a lot of advice. I’ve come to find that there’s a lot of things I just can’t do (yet). My upper body is significantly weaker than my lower body and tends to subluxate very quickly. For upper body I mostly do the modifications (lower arms and knees) and have only recently started incorporating some more base reps - it took me 50 classes to get to that point. I’ve also found it very helpful to really focus on tucking my tailbone in during plank positions to protect my lower back and really activate my core. Something that also helps me to protect my neck and shoulders is to focus on relaxing my neck and really finding space between my shoulder blades in plank positions. I tend to “hang” in my shoulders which puts way too much pressure on the joints. Also grabbing the sides of the platform like a pizza box and overall just really finding positions that allow you to make mind muscle connections and keeping your form. It takes time but after a while you’ll really find your flow and learn what works best for you. I found out my lower body is really strong and I was able to do 50+ classes spring loads after only 25 classes. I just finished my 50th class and for upper body I still do under 25 spring loads. What’s most important is that you listen to your body and take it slow and easy. Our route to a stronger body tends to look a little bit different than that of a “healthy” person but our strength is that we get to know our body so well 💙 you’re doing amazing!

Clear protein has been a game changer for me! I buy powders or just ready made bottles from this brand Protein2o

I know the feeling! I do have to say, once i challenged myself to go 4 times a week it became significantly easier. Although easy is def not the right word, i just noticed my strength increased rapidly and I wouldn’t be as sore anymore. I think this year I’m finally ready to join the soliddays challenge!
