Last weekend, my sister and I finally tried out something we’d be dying to do forever…Aerial Classes! I mean, how hard could it be? That’s what I told myself before. I’d seen pictures and videos, and if Pink could do it whilst singing, surely I could. Uhhhhh, I really, really, really underestimated how HARD this would be! My sister and I looked like uncoordinated beasts devoid of any grace or adorableness. If we were shy people, we would have been mortified and I probably would’ve peed my pants.
On the real though, these aerialists are straight up art-theletes (artistic atheletes).
That said, I loved the class I took at Fembody Fitness. My only mistake was signing up for a class that was multi-level, because I was so entranced watching the talented people in my class, I forgot to learn. Note to self: stick with level 1.
If you ever get the chance to try this, I say go for it! Be persistent, and don’t get down on yourself if you can’t do it, and don’t be embarrassed if you look ridiculous. Chances are, you do look ridiculous. But WHO CARES??? Keep on trying and also, start doing MAJOR upper-body workouts. This is not for weaklings.
