Hi! I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this or has advice.
Before I moved, I was doing more classical reformer Pilates (similar to Classical Pilates), and I loved how much it helped my flexibility and overall mobility. I’m not naturally flexible at all, but I noticed a huge difference when I was going consistently.
Since moving, I’ve been doing Solidcore and I really enjoy it for strength, but I’ve definitely noticed I feel way tighter. My hips especially have been popping more, and I just don’t feel as mobile as I used to.
I know Solidcore isn’t meant to be the same thing as Pilates and focuses more on strength, but I’m struggling because I don’t feel like I’m getting that stretch component anymore. The problem is I can’t really justify paying for a second membership just for Pilates.
For those of you who do Solidcore: What do you do to balance out flexibility and mobility? Do you just stretch on your own, take occasional Pilates classes, or something else?
if you’re someone who’s not naturally good at stretching, what’s actually worked for you?
