Here are some reasons why aerial is different from other kinds of fitness:
You will focus on building upper body strength. Aerial is considered low-impact exercise. It will put less stress on your joints compared to high-impact exercises like running or jumping. Because of this, it is a good choice for people with joint pain.
Increases flexibility: Aerial will work on your active flexibility. What is active flexibility? “Active flexibility refers to the ability to move a joint through its full range of motion using muscular effort and control. This is different from passive flexibility, which refers to the ability to move a joint through its full range of motion with the assistance of external forces (such as gravity or a partner's assistance).” In other word you will not be sitting into your flexibility, you will be contracting your muscles as well to stabilize your flexibility.
If you want that all around body work out while having fun, then Aerial is for you!
