Today’s tour players take fitness more seriously than ever (i.e. Rory’s new workout). But Danielle Kang has taken the search for an edge to new heights. The Las Vegas resident attended a Cirque du Soleil show and asked herself a dangerous question: How hard can it be?
A quick Google search revealed Kristi Toguchi, an aerial silks artist who developed a fitness program for thrill-seekers like Kang.
“I’d never thrown up after a workout,” said Kang, “and that was the first time.”
Aerialists must be able to pick up their own body weight, and when Kang couldn’t get off the ground the first time she tried, she was hooked.
