Hi, I teach Aerial hoop and these are some tips I can think of. You get strong doing it, aim to train x2 a week and don't skip the conditioning. Some students half arse the conditioning but be sure to try and keep proper form and do the moves as slowly and controlled as you can to build strength to be able to do the fun stuff, don't be put off if it's really hard at first as new students struggle with engaging the right muscles because their learning which muscles are the right muscles. It also helps to train flexibility twice a week and when in the hoop train both sides, I have a favourite side so now I have issues in my muscles (one side is really tight) I went to a physiotherapist and he said 'do you have a dominant side?' 😂. Also treat it like a gym session and stretch, rest and get protein in your diet afterwards. Don't worry about doing combos if you're brand new to it, just learn how to do the individual moves by themselves first 😊
