This issues's fitness article is written in a very intriguing manner by fashion editor Vanessa Friedman. This editorial about a new underground fitness craze is reported with helpful detail and an optimistic tone: Friedman lets us into her coveted world of aerial arts--specifically the trapeze.
She considerately begins by introducing to the reader how she happened to come across this rare and quirky physical practice--at a class in the park for her daughters. She then goes on to describe in detail what makes the trapeze so thrilling and good for the body. Friedman generously explains exactly what she was working with when she first tried it out, making it quite simple for the reader to picture himself doing the same. She also lists 5 trapeze schools across the nation and includes a brief description of each school, letting us know the type of instructor we would be dealing with should we decide to check one of the schools out.
Things I Would Have Done Differently:
Described the activities she does in her class in a bit more depth. Friedman went into great detail about how she came about to using the trapeze and how much she adores "playing" on it, but she does not give enough detail to the actual exercises she performs in her class meetings or the areas of the body that are being worked out in each exercise. It is important to have fun with your exercise, which is exactly what this article condones, but it is also important to know a little more about how it works before you want to give it a shot. Obviously she didn't have the space to explain the entire act to us, but I feel as though describing these details a little more would have drawn in the reader and compelled him to look into the aerial arts.
