What kind of things can I do to strengthen my body for cheerleading and gymnastics?

Question by JJ: What kind of things can I do to strengthen my body for cheerleading and gymnastics?
I have been cheering for ten years and i have recently joined a competitive cheer squad. On this new squad I am a base (the person on the bottom holding the girls up). I need new things for me to do so I can strengthen my body to allow me to do these things easier so I am less likely to hurt myself when I do these. Can anybody help?

Answer by UK Cheerleader
Well, I wouldn’t sign up for gymnastics but just tumbling because tumbling is a huge part of cheer.

In five months, if you are actually serious about it, you should be able to learn a standing back handspring, a tuck and a round off back handspring back tuck.

But again, you gotta be serious and not be mental and just do it.

Can you do the same stretches for cheerleading and gymnastics?

Question by Amanda: Can you do the same stretches for cheerleading and gymnastics?
Can you do the same stretches for cheerleading and gymnastics or do you have to do different stretches for both? I do gymnastics and I’m going to start a cheerleading squad so I need to know if the stretches I do for gymnastics can be the same for cheerleading.

Best answer:

Answer by allstarcheerrocks
They are basically the same except cheerleading might not have some that gymnastics has and cheer might not have some that gymnastics has. But don’t worry there will be a cheerleader leading the stretches so all you have to do is copy her.

hope i helped!

Do you need to take gymnastics to become a cheerleader?

Question by Annoymous: Do you need to take gymnastics to become a cheerleader?
I want to tryout for the cheerleading team next year and i’m currently in gymnastics right now, but i dont like it.l’m surrounded by little kids and i’m the oldest one, plus i dont realy like it. The cheerleading team at my school isnt to big on flips and stuff like that.I dont even think half the team knows how to do back hand springs. I saw one girl do a round off one time. So should i stay in gymnastic?

Best answer:

Answer by Diana
Don’t stay in it if you HATE it, but yes, gymnastics does help w/ cheer, especially sheer in high school, where u do a lot of flips. If you know how to do a cartwheel, backbend, thats eough i guess. Try out! =D

PS: When I was in gym, I was stuck w/ littler kids too. That might be why you hate it so much. Ask the gym if they have tumbling classes. They have older kids there.
