More Core Exercises for Cheerleaders

Here is another great exercise that will strengthen your core - PLANKS!

This basic plank position is the perfect position to start with.  It is a great exercise to squeeze in 3 sets in the morning, while you are watching TV or just before you go to bed.  Here are some tips to remember:

• 1 set is 8 counts
• Make sure you have your body in a straight line.
• To start, keep your knees on the ground and then work up to straight leg planks.

How to do a Toe Touch Jump for Cheerleading

 

It is a myth that you need to be able to do a perfect split to have a beautiful toe touch.  If you actually look at one from the side, you will see that your body is in a "sitting" position and your legs come up to meet your hands.  Also, you do not "touch" your toes - you should reach for your heels;  this gives the illusion that your legs are "inverted or hyper-extended".  Here are some tips to keep in mind:

Toe Touch Jump Execution Tips:

• Keep your head and chest up.
• Bring your legs up to you.
• Reach for your heels - not your toes.
• Land with your feet together.
• For the "inverted / hyper-extended" effect, keep your back completely straight and roll your hips under you as you reach for your heels at the top of your jump.
• Keep your body in the "sitting" position and do not lean forward to reach your toes.

How to Be a Great Cheerleading Flyer! Part 2 - Climbing Techniques

Flyer Climbing Techniques:

Pinch-a-Penny:  This is the most important one to remember - basically stay "Tight".  Pretend that you have a penny in your butt cheeks.  Pinch or squeeze your cheeks together so the penny does not fall.  When you do this, you will feel all of you muscles tighten up.  When your body is tight, you feel much lighter for your bases.  If you just stand there in your Flyer position, you will feel much heavier!

Step, Lock, Tighten:  This climbing technique is used for Double Thigh Stands and the like.  When you climb follow this pattern:

• "Step" with your foot on to you base (usually you climbe with your right
  foot first)
• "Lock" means to bring your other foot up and lock both legs.  This does
  not mean to squat on your bases.
• "Tighten" means to finish your stunt and Pinch-a-Penny.
