Being active and strong is really important in aerial, and this drill is for aerialists wanting to incorporate splits safely into their aerial practice. The Strong Front to Back Splits Drill is especially important for aerialists who are working on skills like Splits Balance that put a lot of weight into the legs. This effective ground drill trains aerialists to be so strong in their splits that they could lift out of them hands free at any time.
As aerialists it’s important to build strength at the end ranges of motion, because that helps us prevent injury when we make those shapes in the air, and it also helps aerialists achieve the skills that demonstrate impressive amounts of control like Splits Balance. Our aerial teaching tutorial video for this ground drill covers the details and cues that make it effective.
