I don’t do cheerleading, I do sport aerobics which is pretty much the same thing. some good exersises that will help are pushups (especially trisceps) and L-sits

Answer by Cheer Gurl<3
You really need to do a lot of splits. Strech your back a lot, bending over to touch your toes. Also, to stay tight and not wobble, you can pull yourself up into a lib while standing on the ground. Hold this as long as possible.

Umm… Cheerleading?

Or do what I do:
5 sets of 100 crunches anytime during the day. I’m always mistaken for a cheerleader. It’s rather annoying, actually.
Good luck 🙂

What are some cheerleading conditioning exercises?

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!

Best answer:

Answer by smile like you mean it…
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)

Answer by Emily
Running is the best thing you can do. I know it seems simple, but you are going to be doing tons of running anyways, so why not get a head start. Also as far as jumps go, do they butterfly streatch. & its going totake a long time to get your jumps to where you want the. Mine still aren’t perfect & I’ve been working on them for a year. So good luck. 🙂

Answer by samara
touch ur toes.

open ur legs while sitting on the ground and try to reach one fooot. try to do a split.

stand up and put both your arms straight out then take your right leg and try to touch ur foot to your right hand. u can jump a little but be sure to keep your arms in the same place. then do ur left side….does tht make sense?

What are some good stretches and exercises for Cheerleading?

Question by Kirsten: What are some good stretches and exercises for Cheerleading?
I want to try out for the Cheerleading team next year. What are some good stretches and exercises that would make my jumps higher and overall better? Also, what should I stretch to improve my back hand spring? Thanks!

Best answer:

Answer by I love you!
for your backhandspring you need to stretch out your back arms and shoulders. do bridges and rock back on your hands to stretch out everything

for jumps you need to streatch your legs a ton! do splits stradles and sumo stretches (bend your knees with your legs apart and your hands on your knees. use your hands to stretch your legs apart) this makes your jumps higher and better over all. Good Luck
