Completely stuck!
Hey guys, there are 2 things I’ve been wondering for the past 2 months regarding my progress:
Context: I do aerial silks twice a week, 4 hours total, and I was making slow but steady progress since I started in December 2025,
We did a show back in June, so I repeated the same series for about 1.5months.
After the show, I just got completely stuck, wasn’t able to do new figures…
I’m also still unable to invert so I am very limited on what I can do and it sucks.
I am wondering if:
The heat we’ve had since June (working out with 35 degrees) is what is slowing me down, minimal efforts cost so much during heat or,
is my weight making me stuck? I am 170cm and weight 80 kilos, and I am wondering if my 10-15 kilos overweight are the ones responsable from not making progress?
Any of you guys lost weight and felt like aerials became easier?
My husband says I am built like a Viking lol it’s not easy for me to loose weight, but if I knew for sure that it could actually make me a better aerialist, I could try harder for the next 6 months!
I have a lot of arm strength, but I really wonder if “mathematically speaking” when I am lifting my body up, I am actually lifting 80kg, while some other aerialist on my club weight like 50 kilos and it’s just easier overall to lift 50kg than 80kg,
I am talking science here lol I’m not looking for anybody’s approval or body positivity I am fine with my body overall but it’s really a question I’ve been asking myself for months now!
Thanks!
