I'm starting cheerleading on monday and I want to know any good stretches to get me ready for cheerleading. Please help. Also, how can I make myself able to do a split?
kayloveee answered Friday August 25 2006, 6:56 pm: ok so i'm like really really flexible and i can do both but here's wat i do
spread legs apart(farther than shoulder width)squat till it's like yer siting in a chair with yer legs bent then put yer elbows on both legs and push yer legs farther out this stretches yer groin (20 sec)
then stand up put chest out and but out keep legs straight and you should be able to feel the burn (15 sec)
now go down to a very easy split and hold for 10 sec then next go down farther and hold repeat this step untill in the splits completly

To make our splits better, you lay on the floor, slide your butt up to a wall so your torso is laying on the floor and your feet are against the wall then slowly let your legs split apart and let them hang as far as they can go. Do this a lot and you will be able to do a split in no time. And for backbends, start by going back and instead of touching the floor, try something higher, like a bed, table, or chair then progressively go lower. Good luck! <3 Kristi [ xkristix3's advice column | Ask xkristix3 A Question ]
