Q&A: How can I get my Scorpion in cheerleading?

Question by cowlover64: How can I get my Scorpion in cheerleading?
I’ve been stretching daily trying to improve my scorpion and I can’t tell a difference. My legs are pretty flexible but my back is not. I need some back stretches as well as some scorpion stretches that will help me get it as soon as possible!

lay on the ground and put your arms out in front of you and push up. You’re chest should be off the ground and everything below is still on the floor. This stretches your back. And what REALLY helped my back flexibility is doing a back bend off the wall. Walk down the wall until you get to the floor. Hold it for a second then fall on your back or stand up. You also need you’re right split for a scorpion- it helps A LOT. I got my scorpion on my first try because I had a right split (almost, anyway :P)

That video has a ton of stretches, it helped me a bit (:
