Question Posted Saturday February 24 2007, 2:13 am
im 16/f. i used to be a cheerleader a long time ago. i realized that was one of the only things to make me happy and i want to start doing it again, but i have no flexability and i'm pretty out of shape. what are some things i can do to get back into shape before basketball or football cheerleading tryouts? thanks in advance =]

just run everyday and maintain a healthy weight and drink lots of protein and vitamins

Being on a competitive team, will help with your cheers & stuff. [which you'll probably need if you haven't cheerleaded in over a year..]
you neeeddddd tumbling. if your not flexible at all, then you really really need tumbling. tumbling will tottally get you flexible & in shape.
trampolines are great too..[depending where you live if its snowing outside or not..] but, well when summber comes deff. get a trampoline. you can practice all over your jumps, & flip on there.
do all of that, & be really devoted to it, & you'll make basketball or football cheerleading.
But, make sure you really wanna be a cheerleader, because its pretty devoting. I've missed alot of fun things, just because I had to be like 3 hours away from home for cheerleading. like, parties & stuff.
& depending where you live.. or go to cheer..it will most likely be probably every day. so your also probably giving up.. 4 hours of your time [that include cheerleading & tumbling]
