First post! Aerial tutorial!

Hello and welcome to my gymnastics blog! This blog is for gymnastics tutorials.

Today I would teach you how to do an Aerial.

First of all what is an Aerial?
An Aerial is simply a cartwheel without hands


  • Step 1: Have a good cartwheel.
Before doing a cartwheel without hands you should have a regular cartwheel. If you don't have your cartwheel yet than you better learn it before learning an aerial.
  • Step 2: Do a one arm cartweel
If you havn't done it before, maybe it would be scary but it's not very complicated. just remember to keep your hand off the ground.
  • Step 3: A very fast cartweel

Do a fast cartwheel to give you the feeling of an aerial.

  • Step 4: Try to push yourself up with your front leg
Try to begin the cartwheel from a jump by pushing the ground with your leg.

  • Step 5: Try an aerial From a higher sarface
Pull your hands back while jumping.

  • Step 6: Try an aerial
After doing the previous step you can now try our goal: an aerial.
Maybe you will have a mental block at the begining but you will learn to trust yourself.
It's OK if you don't succeed at first, it would be a miracle if you would be able to do it in your first try. Good luck!
