Coaches say Aerial Expression Shreveport is a fun way of expression that is safe with strength building, endurance, and flexibility. Classes are recreational as well as competitive. 'We will travel, and it gives them a way to work on their confidence, getting out on the stage in front of everyone, competing. The routines they make themselves. We will add input to it, but they will come up with their own themes, their own music, their own skills, and we just help polish it to get them where they want to be,' said Sabrina Ackerson, a coach with Aerial Expression Shreveport. Lower back pain relief: Chair exercises and stretching tips from Robert 'Supermann' Blount Athletes at the Expo say fitness is good for the mind and soul as well as mental and emotional health.
