Jump Drills!!!! Haha they are so painful..but they help.
For warm ups..start with high kicks..do about 15 on each leg.
Then..do 3 of each jump.. 3 toe touches..3 herkies…3 hurdlers…3 pikes (they dont have to be all in a row..stop after each jump..then do another..and another..)
Then..Do continuous jumps..Do a toe, herkie, hurdler, pike, pike, hurdler, herkie, toe without stopping!! It kills but it helps alot.
Also..for my squad..in the summer..we practiced right by a track..so our coach made us run 2 laps..and if we were practicing inside then we ran around the school..like down the halls..up stairs..haha. Um..we did a few push ups..but not a ton. And we did motion checking…for instance..everyone on the squad would go in a high V then..our coach came to each of us and tried to pull our arms/move them out of place..if your arms moved then you needed to be tighter..this helped too! Um..I think thats about it..of course if you have tumblers then you need to practice their tumbling..Hope this helped! 🙂
