Workouts That Help You Train For Aerial

As you will soon discover, aerial yoga is a challenging workout. There are certain types 
of training and body conditioning you will need to do between classes so that you are 
strong enough. 

Stretching

You need to have excellent flexibility for aerial yoga, just like with standard yoga on the 
ground, so you should have a good amount of stretching done beforehand. Not only 
should you stretch before and after each workout, but on the days in between your 
aerial yoga workouts as well. This improves your range for the different poses and 
stretches out your ligaments to avoid pain or injury.

Strength Workouts

The next type of workout that can help you train for aerial yoga is strength workouts. 
This helps build up the proper momentum for aerial yoga, as mentioned more than once 
in this report. This includes weight lifting and cardio combined with using weights, such 
as with kettlebells or even weighted cardio workouts. Try to do strength training 2-3 
times a week at least to build up your muscle capacity.

Cross Training

Cross training is going to provide more cardio, while continuing to work on your strength 
and flexibility in the process. Since aerial yoga is an intense workout, especially for 
beginners, your cross training is important. Here are some cross training workouts to try 
out when you want to do aerial yoga:

Pilates
Yoga
Hiking and Walking
Jogging
Dance and Ballet
