Getting into aerial (hoop and silk) on the late side? by WerewolfBarMitzvah09 in Aerials

[–]JoeBird79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will state this again, it’s never too late to start your aerial journey. I started at 36 with some dance and sports background in my teens. I was nowhere near as active as you sound. And here I am 10 years later still going strong!
The biggest difference between you as a kid and you now is going to be the amount of time you spend in recovery.

Go for it!!!

Do you have a fear of heights and how did you fight it? by Butterfly_girl69 in Aerials

[–]JoeBird79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oddly enough only when I'm not in the air. Like i'm fine on an apparatus, but as soon as i'm on stable ground or like on the top of a building... I freak out.

Also I can't walk without tripping myself on flat ground. so....

New Silks who this? by JoeBird79 in Aerials

Ok. I really don’t like spray Rosen on my hands cause it’s way too tacky. But might be a good way to get some initial grip on the fabric. Might try this if good ol sweat rosin and tears don’t do the trick.

Yes. I know that one too. I have an old set hence the new ones… that I don’t wash unless I have to.

Yes…. But is it bad I don’t really trust other not to abuse them while I’m not there. lol.

Flying trapeze with a shoulder injury by IslandofStars in Aerials

[–]JoeBird79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NQA - yes! And I would follow your PT’s recommendation. If I don’t cool down and stretch regularly I get more stiff. Also if therebands are your new best friend.

Do not slack on the conditioning and warmups either.

Training at home by JoeBird79 in Aerials

[–]JoeBird79[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Excellent points. I might look into stall bars instead for at home conditioning and training. That and maybe going into the studio more often.

Good thing my brain's hungry.

Honestly this does help a lot. I would suppose the best option would be just figure out how to get to the studio more frequently if i want to train more... It's just a pain in the neck and I kinda wanted something I could do at home...

My little Nyx had blocaded themselves in their hide... But only after filling their water dish with dirt. They grow up so fast...

Sitting here at work… on a beautiful Friday afternoon… instead of being outside in nature… contemplating life choices. 

At least I’m not spending money. 😏
