An easy way to describe an aerial cartwheel would be a cartwheel with no hands. However, when you go to learn how to do an aerial cartwheel, you quickly realize that doing an aerial cartwheel is much different than doing a cartwheel. The first reason is that an aerial cartwheel gets its power from the gymnast’s legs, whereas the cartwheel uses the gymnast’s arm muscles. So in order to learn how to do an aerial cartwheel, the gymnast has to strengthen and use different muscles.
Another reason why an aerial cartwheel is much different than a regular cartwheel is that it is much more difficult to learn. While the aerial cartwheel is no longer in a compulsory floor routine, it can be used to fulfill the Level 6 Floor requirement of a salto or aerial element. Many gymnasts also use it in their routines at more advanced levels.
If you have ever felt unmotivated to workout, Aerial is the cure. Just imagine being suspended in air... Your heart is pounding. And now you do a stunt you thought only acrobats could do! Honestly, you'll forget all about the workout. Instead you'll enjoy the challenge and overcoming it in a safe environment. Safe, fun and exhilarating. It's a workout you can't find anywhere else.
Aerial silks are more than just a fun activity with poses that look beautiful on camera. Silks provide a range of health benefits that target your physical strength, figure and mood. All of which can be improved through regular participation in aerial silks, as well as other aerial arts. This week’s blog will review exactly what your body can gain by taking part in aerial silks classes.
The Secret Life of Tigers documents the family life of three tigresses and their cubs from soon after birth to adulthood. An extraordinary account if records for the first time the active role the male tiger plays as a father.
From the facts behind the NSA spying scandals ("Big Brother") and the Boston Bombings ("American Terrorists") to America's secret prisons, Scientology, the Gold conspiracy and America's doomsday plans, this series features in-depth interviews with top journalists, law enforcement officials and whistleblowers.
George Orwell said in 1984, "If you want to keep a secret, you must also hide it from yourself." Or, if it's absolutely gnawing at you and you can't keep it inside another minute, just say "screw it" and set it free -- anonymously on Secret, Silicon Valley's hottest new confessional-style social networking app. You know you want to.
Secret, which launched on Jan. 30, only three weeks ago, with the fitting tagline "Speak Freely," wants you to cut to the chase already and blurt out what's on your mind. In fact, the sole purpose of the free (and exquisitely freeing) incognito self-tattling app is to give you carte blanche to spill your guts in a fun, safe way that doesn't disclose your identity. Phew! And that's just what users, many of them techie types, entrepreneurs and venture capitalists, from Northern California all the way to the tip of Florida, are doing like wildfire.
Users, cloaked in the emboldening safety of anonymity, are taking to the addictive, gossipy social platform in droves to blow the lid off of some lurid, juicy mea culpas. According to USA Today, tech journalists are using the controversial app to admit accepting bribes to pen articles (gasp!) and startup founders to dish dirt on their investors and, of course, on their minions, too. A married VC even took to Secret to come out of the closet, also according to USA Today.
