Specifically geared toward the beginning to intermediate adult aerial silks student, this handbook is a valuable resource for those looking to gain a deeper understanding of the mechanics that go into learning this challenging art form.
Kerry Wee is a seasoned professional dancer and teacher that has toured the world and performed behind some of the biggest names in music.

This will guide you through every aspect of starting your aerial silks journey, whether it be learning how to climb, finding your spinal alignment, or even just mastering the enviable toe point. Beyond just the anatomical, this will also instruct you on class etiquette and pinpointing your body weaknesses that you might not be aware of.

If only our body and mind could perform in a way that’s more natural and instinctive. The best athletes have this quality, but many feel it is simply unattainable for them. I assure you it is not.

What’s the number one thing stopping you from playing your best tennis? Ian Westermann, founder of the world’s #1 online tennis instruction portal, Essentialtennis.com, will confidently say it’s an obstacle you probably never thought of: The ball. The whole point of tennis is to hit the ball over the net and in, so how can the ball be the thing that’s standing in the way? In fact, this is why the ball is such an impediment: your desire to hit a good shot, with the right mix of power and spin, to a specific spot on the court, prevents you from striking the ball the way you should.

Triathlon: Winning at 70.3 is dedicated to all triathletes who are thinking about stepping up to the middle distance. 70.3 Half Ironman training requires quite a different approach to the shorter distances, and to be successful, a more professional approach to training is required. Do not set yourself up for failure on race day! Simply doubling your Olympic distance training will not work. Those who do this will struggle. Do not be one of these! 70.3 triathlon is a serious step up and preparation is key.
