Question by Jhazzman: What are some good stretches for cheerleading stunts?
I tried out for cheerleading this year and I made it. I wasn’t able to do it and im not sure if the coach will try to get me to do it next year. I want to be ready and be able to do stunts and everything. What are some good daily stretches to get me prepared for the stunts and be able to do the splits?

The more you stretch the more flexible you become I would know because I used to be a cheerleader at first I couldn’t do a split but I got better. Make sure you stretch every single day though so you won’t tense back up like I did.

you could always buy a stunt strap. that really helped me.
Okay, I have cheered since the age of two. I’m flexible, only because i stretch twice a day. When I wake up, I stretch for 15 minutes before doing ANYTHING. I do normal stretches to stretch my legs, my splits for a minute each, and i hold my heel stretch (hold your foot up in a kick position) until i fall. Also, run. Run until you can’t anymore. It will build your calf muscles and make cheering so much easier. Anything else, email me.
