Finding Your Aerial Rhythm: How Often Should You Train?

Curious about how often you should train in aerial arts to see progress? At Aerials USA, we believe consistency is key, but it’s also important to listen to your body and avoid overtraining.  

Here’s a general guideline for training frequency:

  • Beginners: Start with 1-2 sessions per week to allow your body to adapt to the new demands of aerial arts. Focus on building a solid foundation and mastering basic skills.

  • Intermediate/Advanced: Aim for 2-3 sessions per week to continue progressing and refining your technique. You can increase the intensity and duration of your sessions as your strength and endurance improve.

  • Listen to Your Body: Pay attention to how your body feels. If you’re experiencing excessive muscle soreness, fatigue, or pain, take rest days to allow for recovery. Don’t push yourself beyond your limits.  

Why is consistency important?

  • Muscle Memory: Regular training helps develop muscle memory, making it easier to learn and execute new skills.  
  • Strength and Endurance: Consistent practice builds the strength and endurance needed for more advanced aerial moves.  
  • Flexibility: Frequent training helps improve flexibility and range of motion, essential for aerial arts.  
  • Injury Prevention: Consistent training strengthens your body and helps prevent injuries caused by overexertion or improper technique.

Remember:

  • Quality over Quantity: Focus on the quality of your training sessions rather than just the number of sessions.
  • Cross-Training: Supplement your aerial training with other forms of exercise, such as yoga, Pilates, or strength training, to improve overall fitness and prevent imbalances.  
  • Rest and Recovery: Give your body adequate rest to recover and rebuild between sessions.
