I just started cheerleading this year and it was really hard for me to do anything, like tumbling or stunting, because I have like no upper body strength. This is mostly because of my wrists, they're weak and crack a lot. I did gymnastics about a year ago but it made my wrists worse. What I want to know is, is there anyway for me to build up some arm strength so I can start doing gymnastics again?

for your arms do about 20 pushups a day also lift weights with a wristband on and start with liek 5 pound and work your way up also do chinups pullups and you could also face the wall and do a push-up but your standing so its less impact so its like the wall is the floor. JESSiCA

to get arm strength just do some pushups, chinups, and lift weights, have a routin like do this for 2 hours for 3 times a week.
For your wrists, When you tumble, use a wrist brace<< this is what i do when i tumble and i just got off of them and my wrists are great! Maybe try iceing them down afterwards to build up strength. If you need more info try asking your school coach, because they give me the best advice. Hope you do good! xoxo BLONDE911

Do some chin ups, push ups, diamond pushups, stop cracking your wrists, go to the gym and swim, that works all muscles in your body.

I used to be the same way. See I have been in cheerleading for 5 years now, so these things may help you:
1) Tape your wrists or wear an ace bandage.
2) Do push ups
3) Practice lifting the person your basing or lift waits
Hope I helped! If you need any more cheer andvice just tell me!
