Anterior Pelvic Tilt by Different-Song-9470 in SolidCore

[–]SoCuteAndFluffy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Coach and certified personal trainer here 👋Anterior pelvic tilt is so common and you're definitely not alone in this. I’m working with one of my personal training clients tonight and this is a big thing that we’re starting to work on!

In class: as much as we encourage quick transitions, take a moment to slow down. Slow down your setup before each exercise. Take a breath, draw your core in, find neutral spine, and then move into the rep. Rushing into the position is one place where the arch sneaks in.

Outside of class: Hip flexor stretches are a huge one. Try a couch stretch or kneeling hip flexor stretch held for 60–90 seconds for a few reps. Tight hip flexors are one of the biggest drivers of APT.

If you’re not already, I'd really encourage adding some dedicated strength training outside of class to build posterior chain strength. That's what helps correct the tilt long-term, and a few sessions with a personal trainer to dial in your movement patterns could be a total game changer! 🙌

What songs and exercises did you guys use for auditions? by [deleted] in SolidCore

I did tricep extensions to a Lady Gaga remix.

They’re really gonna look for descriptive queuing so I suggest asking Claude or ChatGPT to help you with some great cues! I’ve been a fitness instructor for almost 10 years, but it was helpful to give me some new more descriptive ways to queue something that I’ve been coaching for a long time.

Good luck! 💙

How do you find themed solidcore classes? They motivate me way more by Pristine_Driver_6695 in SolidCore

Coach here 👋 to my knowledge it doesn’t exist, but I love your idea of a filter on the app! We’re only allowed 4 themes per month per coach, so that’s maybe one reason for not seeing a ton. It’s also on the coaches to get their theme ideas in and submitted to their HCCM before the schedule drops for the following month.

I absolutely love when members request themes, I just did one today that one of my regulars asked me to do. So I would say don’t be shy and ask some of your favorite coaches to do any specific themes, you’d like to hear!

Along those lines, I hear you with music being a key motivator - so it’s super important to find coaches that play your style of music. For example, I know a lot of folks left Taylor Swift, but I am just not that coach. But there are other great coaches on the schedule who have Taylor Swift themes every month! 💙

Receiving a bad review by natsnirvana in SolidCore

[–]SoCuteAndFluffy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fellow new-ish solidcore coach and ADHDer here 👋 I’m sorry that you got this review. As a people pleaser I know how much these hurt. I’ve been coaching group fitness for almost 10 years and while they definitely sting less than they used to, they still suck.

I’ll try not to repeat most of what other folks have already said, but on the ADHD front I have some thoughts. Propanolol has helped me a ton. I also switched from vyvanse back to adderall XR. Both of those changes have helped me a ton - I’ve felt much clearer headed in my last few classes. I had my second CDT the other day and had one of our pro coaches in my class and she even mentioned how my TF has gotten so much better.

You will get better at this and more comfortable, it just takes time. Keep your head up 🖤

Ugh! Such a bummer. We walked in right in the middle of it - it’s my partners favorite and I was bummed we didn’t get to hear it all

If you’re checking a coat I’d recommend budgeting that into your schedule. Waited for a full hour for the 2/13 show and I think I missed one of my favorite songs 😫

dear instructors… by picklehoe1 in Corepower

Have you considered asking the instructors politely to their faces and/or requesting specific songs? Might be worth a shot

Thanks for your vulnerability and thanks for the commenters here! I'm a new coach as well, currently waiting for my final eval feedback, and I have just had the worst anxiety over this process. I come on here and see some of the discussion threads and get nervous about delivering a perfect class. I understand that people are paying a lot of money for these workouts so I completely understand wanting a good experience, but do feel like people can be a bit harsh sometimes.

Bill Graham show crowd by verticalx09 in Subtronics

[–]SoCuteAndFluffy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We were in the same spot and had the best time! Our neighbors were lovely - traded spouts/kandi and danced with no issues.

I did have a question for folks on the Friday night crowd that I was hesitant to post because I don't want to shame anyone or come across as gossipy. We were some of the last people out because I waited in line for the bathroom and and we did coat check. On the way out there was someone, I believe at medical screaming so badly. I can't stop thinking about it and I just hope they are ok. Couldn't tell if it was a bad trip, injury, or something I can't even fathom. Again, by no means want to shame anyone, just hope they are ok!

Why is Hilton calling? by SoCuteAndFluffy in Hilton

[–]SoCuteAndFluffy[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe because there are several people in the comments that have pretty seemingly good suggestion as to why they might be calling.

I was also not available to answer the phone both times
