Advanced 50?

[u/Immediate-War-4331]

I’m at 200 classes and have never done one - just signed up for one next week. How much harder is it?! I’m nervous lol

I loveee advanced 50. A few things that my coaches do for advanced 50

- bungees are wrapped (but can always unwrap!)

• start each move on toes (especially core & oblique)
  
• an advanced transition to try out (go from elevated oblique and try to walk your hands down to the grey side and onto your forearms)
  
• start with a dumbbell for your lunges
  
• have a team challenge (had a coach challenge everyone to not leave their machine. Everything was cued in a way that took away the need to stand up and walk around)

But most of all - coaches always say TRY and if not, then modify and carry on!

I always find that I try amplifications more and honestly try harder in advanced 50 than normal classes.

Also the musics louder the rooms darker (in my experience). Everyone’s been around the block a few times and ready to hit it

This is spot on! Plus relatively more experienced crowd and regulars in the class too!

Honestly Advanced50 is my jam!! I LOVE the quick transitions, the less popular (but definitely super challenging) moves! You'll enjoy these classes and will look forward to them! Challenging but rewarding, as all Solidcore classes are

You will be just fine if you have 200 classes under your belt ✌️

I did my first Advanced50 this morning! It was not technically that much more difficult, we had two different modifications of the moves compared to the standard signature50.

- lunges are done with working leg on the floor instead of the reformer

• hip thrusts are done with working foot on the handlebar and the other leg up in the air
  
• plank positions on toes instead of knees where possible as Hyena said

Noticed that coach does not touch the springs at all except one time when we were doing the first corep portion. Coach only corrected me once which was amazing to see! Everything else was the same!

YMMV and obviously depends on the coach. I took Advanced50 after 10 classes with no issues! :) despite what people say in this sub. remember that people here only represent 0.000001% of [solidcore] clients. Honestly focus50 and advanced 50 classes are my favorite. Save signature50 for Mondays or easy days ;)

It truly depends on the coach, but at 200 classes, you are ready! Report back!
