Question by Jacqui: What are some cheerleading conditioning exercises?
Hi, I’m doing a project for a class where I’ll be teaching cheerleading conditioning exercises. I used to be a cheerleader, and I remember some things we did like tuck jumps and froggies, but I don’t remember everything. I also wanted to do some across-the-floor exercises, but can only remember lunges. If anyone out there could help me, just tell me some of the things you do in your warmup, it would be greatly appreciated!

for our warm up we do the cupid shuffle for the whole song. then stretch, then do strength exercises (push ups, sit ups, legs lifts, squat jumps). then we do skills. first we do jumps, and rotate lines so the coaches can watch everyone do every jump at least once. next we do turns, same process of rotating lines so the coaches can see us. then we do across the floor, kicks (we do one with side and back kicks and one with straight kicks), traveling turns (again, we do a few different types) and cartwheels.
email me if you want to know which stretches we do, or anything like that. (turn/jumps preps)
