With Summer, and all the delights that it brings, in full swing it can be easy to let our aerial training fall by the way side. With the beach, lakes and pools calling, not to mention the fun vacations with yummy cocktails, it’s not surprising that our Aerial Silks may be collecting dust in the broom closet…
But did you know that training aerial in the Summer time can have some surprising benefits?
Let’s have a closer look:
- Increased Strength:
Summer offers the ideal conditions for building our aerial strength. With the warm weather, your muscles are more pliable, making it easier to engage and strengthen them during your training sessions. The heat helps to increase blood flow, delivering essential nutrients and oxygen to your muscles, which supports their growth and development.
- Enhanced Flexibility:
The heat and humidity of Summer can work wonders for improving your flexibility. Warm muscles are more supple and receptive to stretching, allowing you to deepen your stretches and achieve greater flexibility in your aerial shapes and figures. Take advantage of this season to push your flexibility boundaries and reach new levels of grace and fluidity in the air.
- Outdoor Opportunities:
Summer invites us to take our aerial practice outdoors. The beauty of nature serves as a breathtaking backdrop for your aerial artistry. Seek out a (safe) outdoor aerial rig to suspend your silks and enjoy the freedom of practicing amidst the fresh air and sunshine. Soar beneath the clear blue skies and let your creativity take flight in harmony with nature.
- Vitamin D Boost:
Spending time outdoors in the sun not only elevates our mood but also helps our bodies produce Vitamin D, which is crucial for maintaining strong bones and muscles. Combine your love for aerial silks with some much-needed Vitamin D by taking your training to a sunny outdoor location. Just remember to stay hydrated and protect your skin with sunscreen.
- Mind-Body Connection:
Summer is a season of vitality, energy, and renewal. By practicing aerial during this time, you can enhance your mind-body connection and tap into the joyful essence of the season. As you flow through the movements and embrace the sensation of weightlessness, you’ll experience a profound sense of freedom and empowerment!
Remember to always prioritize safety during your aerial practice, especially in the summer heat. Stay hydrated, listen to your body, and give yourself ample rest to prevent injuries and exhaustion.
Embrace the benefits of summer training, and let the season inspire you to reach new heights. Happy flying!
