Question by StrawberryCupcake: How can I becme more flexible for cheerleading, and do the splits???
I am joining cheerleading soon and I really want to become more flexible. I try stretches but it isn’t working unless I am doing it wrong. Has anyone got any really good stretches to help me to become more flexible and do the splits???

My best friend cheered for 10 years and she always got really out of shape during the summer and would spend the last 2 weeks before school started stretching obessedly. She would loosen up in a matter of days. She would mostly just stretch while watching movies. She’d try to sit and touch her toes, lean backwards and touch her toes to her head. She said it was less painful because she was watching tv so she wouldn’t be thinking about it. I think she’s nuts, it always hurt me, but to each their own, right?
