Suspend Your Disbelief
Anyone who can do at least three
consecutive sit-ups can do
antigravity exercises. In each
session, the practitioner will be
suspended in the air through a
hammock, usually the same one
used in performances and art
shows. The hammock will test
strength, resistance, and
flexibility.
After a successful session,
practitioners will feel taller and
lighter. This exercise leads to
better health, less pain, and the
feeling of joy in flying. It’s okay to
be scared; key is to recognize the
difference between fear and
excitement, and it is relaxation,
which the session is aiming for.
3. Movement and Tension
The main equipment in this hybrid form of exercise is the hammocks. With the
hammocks, practitioners are going to be using muscles in ways no regular exercises
require, making it a groundbreaking kinetic invention that have inspired everybody
to aspire for better physical wellness.
Hidden in the forces that pull us down is a strength that needs a bit of tension to
come out. From the fundamentals to aerial yoga, suspension fitness to fitness
benefits and health considerations, and even specialty techniques, the tension and
strength should be enough to leave the ground.
This unique exercise and artistic workout in the global expansion of the field of
movement have inspired health and happiness through innovative techniques and
astounding results and testimonials around the world.
