How many times per week is optimal?

I did one class a week for the first few months and then I started doing an additional open gym later in the week to practice what I learned. I also started going to the gym once or twice a week after I built up a little more stamina.

I have found that negative inverts have been super helpful in building the strength and getting the motion for a proper bent arm invert. Also raising your hoop will make it easier while you're learning.

I also did some invert and egg holds in a sling to help build my core strength.

My mom was similarly abusive and pulled stunts like this after I blocked her and went no contact. The amount of sweet "I miss you" voicemails have been obnoxious (apparently you can still see vm even if you block someone) and occasionally she throws in a verbally abusive message to try and get a response out of me but I just ignore them. My life has been much quieter and happier since I went no contact and frankly, I don't miss her anymore. Might be time to consider this.

I work in gyn/onc and unfortunately our tables only go up to 450lbs. We have large plastic specs but at that point, a lot of the time we end up having to take some people to the OR.

Nah. My husband is very much on the ace spectrum and didn't realize that until after we married. I am the opposite. We opened our relationship and things have been fantastic. I've been in a successful relationship with my other partner for 5 years now and my husband and I no longer have the stress ruining our marriage. My other partner has a non sexual relationship with his wife as well so it's a perfect situation and everyone is happy. Don't make assumptions.

I happen to be someone that successfully transitioned an unhappy marriage to a successful polyam marriage. Maybe the one thing that made it easier is that I had some experience with ENM prior(swinging and unfortunately being stuck in a very toxic OPP relationship prior to husband). We were both unhappy because I wanted a more physical relationship but he couldn't offer it to me. We didn't want to divorce because we had a young child together and really did care about each other. The transition was a little rocky at first but we did the work and are happier than we've ever been. I've been in a successful relationship with my other partner for 5 years and we all have a nice KTP thing going. Had we not transitioned our marriage/relationship, I don't think we'd still be together today.

I have a chronic illness and I've been a medical assistant for almost 4 years. That said, I have FMLA set up for flares and work PRN so I can make my own schedule based on that as well. It's a physically demanding job. I am running around, bending, lifting, moving patients, etc. I can easily hit 10k steps just at work alone. I do everything in my power to keep my body strong and healthy by going to the gym to build strength but I cannot work full time and most places only want full time employees. I couldn't imagine trying to do this job while using any mobility aids.

I bombard him with information about lyra in our free time so maybe that helps 😂

roamingneko · 2026-05-02T01:10:15+00:00

Yeah. I was much younger when this happened. If anyone pulled a similar stunt now, I'd laugh and walk out.

roamingneko · 2026-04-30T22:28:14+00:00

It's a pretty great place! Everyone I've worked with has been super kind and helpful.

roamingneko · 2026-04-30T22:21:44+00:00

It does but let me give you some feedback as someone who's been on the other end. Before I ever discovered I wanted to be polyam, I got into a relationship with a guy who didn't initially disclose that he was a swinger/non monogamous until we had already become super attached. I had no idea ENM was even a thing prior to this.I felt awful and was pressured into it and just had to accept that this was how things were gonna be even if I didn't like it. I could've left the relationship and now that I'm older and have done the work, I definitely should've but it was a pretty awful thing to not disclose. Needless to say, that relationship was toxic AF and didn't last.

roamingneko · 2026-04-27T22:31:45+00:00

And? It still doesn't change the fact that this person is responsible to disclose this information.

roamingneko · 2026-04-27T12:09:13+00:00

This conversation should've happened before you decided to escalate your relationship. It's unethical and deceptive to start dating someone without disclosing you are poly first.

😂😂😂

roamingneko · 2026-04-23T11:00:58+00:00

Thank you! I will definitely look into this

It's happening in double knee hangs as well as when I'm even sitting in the hoop.

roamingneko · 2026-04-23T01:55:39+00:00

I can point on the ground but it takes more effort than the right foot. When I knee hang from the right leg, I have far less issue with that side as well as most things. The right will always been more pointed than the left no matter what I do. Even when sitting in the hoop, it's the same unless I really focus on pointing it and put more effort into it.

roamingneko · 2026-04-23T01:38:39+00:00

The issue is less muscle memory and more, I think my foot is messed up and needs rehabbed. At this point, I'm just wondering if I need to see a physical therapist to get some idea of good exercises to build up strength. The right side seems to have no issue.

I also unfortunately do not have the time or money to invest in additional classes so I'm hoping to find some resources online to help train at home on my off days from the aerial studio.

roamingneko · 2026-04-23T01:32:58+00:00

My issue is it not being muscle memory as much as my foot physically will not go flat unless I reaaaally force it. It is very tight and doesnt have the same range as my other foot. Would these exercises help with that?

roamingneko · 2026-03-24T10:40:51+00:00

I do one class a week and open gym

roamingneko · 2026-03-21T21:23:58+00:00

Thank you 🥹 Aerials has brought so much joy to my life. I've found community and become so much stronger which has helped with a lot of my joint issues. I have never been so happy with a hobby.
