I am trying to train up for the cheerleading squad... How can I do that? Running around the neighborhood is not a good option right now, but in the house we do have some free weights and rubber bands. I just want to be stronger and more ready for the practices. Can anyone help me?
Start by stretching.You don't want to pull a muscle and be out of the season ;)
I would do some crunches,jumpingjacks,push ups and a small jog.You can also make the T,baby t,high V,low V drill.Hold it to keep your arms tight.
Then you can practice your kicks.Keep your back straight and tuck your hands behind her back.Start with low kicks,medium kicks and high kicks.Then sit down and do some leg lefts.Do about 20 on each leg without touching the ground.
Then you can work on making mini reutins to get your counts ready.
Work on your spins,hirkeys,toe touches etc etc At the end
Hope you do well :D

Edit:As asked...Here is everything you can do to get ready for cheerleading.
That should help you alot.Don't get upset if you can't get it right.Practice.I couldn't do my toe touch the first time but I got better.You will too :) And be sure to read all the topics.They will be helpful.And asking your couch after practice will give you more information [ kelleigh's advice column | Ask kelleigh A Question ]

NoLies_JustLove answered Monday July 31 2006, 12:56 pm: If you set aside about 45 min. a day to practice for cheerleading, you'll be ready for practices. Use any exercise equipment you have at your house, like the freeweights and rubber bands. If you have free time and aren't doing anything at the moment, lift weights, do sit-ups, etc. Whenever you're watching TV, do sit-ups or stretch. Do sit-ups before you go to bed every night, it will help. Also, practice gymnastics and dance, because that's what cheerleading is mostly made up of. Maybe get a membership to a gym. If you have a daily routine of working out, you'll be surprised on how much you'll improve. =)

Also do a lot of this out in the heat b/c youll be at football games and it will be hot. I am a cheerleader and this is what I do 5 days a week.
Hope I helped!
