If you’ve spent any time on my social media, you’ve probably seen the comments. “You belong in the circus”, “Freak!”, or the classic “How does a body even do that?”
I take it as the ultimate compliment.
When people call me a freak, they’re seeing the end result of years of hard work and dedication. The deep splits, the inverted aerial silk holds, and the muscle control are all facets of my freaky world

Flexibility is Earned, Not Given
There’s a common misconception that you’re either born flexible or you aren’t. While genetics play a role, true circus-level flexibility is a product of consistent, often grueling, work. For me, staying “freaky” means:
- Active Recovery: It’s not just about stretching; it’s about maintaining strength at the end of my range of motion.
- Aerial Conditioning: Silks aren’t just for show—they are a full-body workout that demands extreme core stability and grip strength.
- Mind-Muscle Connection: Whether I’m popping my pecs to a country beat or holding a handstand, it’s all about knowing exactly how to engage every fiber.
So, the next time you see a video of me doing something that looks “impossible,” just know that I work hard to be this freaky.
Fit Over 40: Defying the Standard
A big part of my journey is proving that your 40s aren’t the beginning of the “slow down.” Being Fit Over 40 means training smarter.
I work hard to stay this mobile because it’s the foundation for everything else I do. It keeps me agile, it keeps me strong, and—let’s be honest—it’s a lot of fun to shock people with what my body can do.
Why Do Circus Flexibility Training?
There are 3 main reasons why I enjoy circus training.
#1: It’s a 3-D Workout
Circus training challenges the body in three dimensions:
- Space: Most fitness happens on the floor, but circus training takes you into the air.
- Stability: It redefines your relationship with gravity.
- Isolation: When I’m pushing my limits on the silks or floormats, I’m building the Female Muscle Control that man’s my pecs pop.
#2: It’s an Art Form
Aside from building strength and flexibility, circus training treaches you to use grace, strength, and creativity to make visual art.
#3: I Love Doing Tricks
It’s really fun to do tricks. I’d much rather make aerial art than get bored on a treadmill.
