Working on and improving pull ups are one of the best exercises you can do to level up your aerial training. Unfortunately, most beginner students are intimidated by pull ups, especially if they see their teachers or other students knock out several pull ups with ease.
Leg assisted pull ups on aerial hoop are a great drill for students just beginning their pull up journey. The leg assist gives them full control of how challenging or empowering they want their pull up training to be. Leg assisted pull ups are also a great way for more advanced students to focus on their pull up pathway and troubleshoot any hitches in their pull ups.
