six pack/toe touch/ kartwheel and or round off
Okay, well.. I really want to do highschool cheerleading next year, but I am not flexible AT ALL , and I can't do a kartwheel. lol, I'm pretty sad I know, and then I don't exactly have a cheerleading body i guess? I'm extremely small in height , I'm about 5 feet, and then my legs are muscular .. but then my stomach, ughh. I'm not sure what it's called lol , but I call it a potbelly [: , but i think its really a beer belly? I want to get rid of that SO much by summer, so I would like exercises for that .. and then could you help me to get a six pack maybe , and then ways to do a toe-touch and a kartwheel and round off. thank you sooo much [: .. i know its asking for a lot!

Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Fitness?
Run. A lot.
Crunches. (don't forget the side crunches)
Swimming. (keeps you cool while you excersize)
Stretches.
When you're doing a cartwheel, just remember hand hand foot foot and try to get your legs high above your head.
When doing a round off, just do a cartwheel, but before you land, about half way through, put your legs together and spin so that you land on both feet at the same time.
I don't know about a toe-touch, sorry.

so. i love cheerleading!!.. im a cheerleader..
so to get a flater stomach/abs.
lay on your back..
do a crunch, but at the same time bring your legs up as if your doing a toe touch.
it will hurt.. if you do 15 a day, it will not only help get your stomach flatter, but it will help improve your jumps.
cartwheel..
To begin a cartwheel, stand in a lunge; your "favorite" leg in front, knee bent slightly, arms up by your ears.
Let's assume you are a right handed; if you're a lefty, simply reverse these directions. Reach forward with your right arm, kicking your left leg up as you do so. The left hand should follow very quickly, and as it touches the ground, your right leg should be off of the ground also. You should pass through a straddle handstand briefly. Your left leg will reach the ground 1st, followed by the right, which you will place in back, finishing in a lunge, just as you started, but with the opposite leg in front.
The trick, really, "hand, hand, foot, foot", and getting through vertical. Most gymnasts tend to kick around the side when they are first learning this skill. Take your time, and be careful.
round off-
your going to run about 3 steps..
hop up on your left foot, down with your right, then do a cartwheel...
the landing is differnt and putting your hands is differnt..
you will want to put your hands facind the way you just came then push off and land with your feet together.
jumps-
toe touch
Keep your head up and your back straight.
Don't reach for your feet, instead try to bring your legs up to your hands.
You don't actually want to touch your toes.Your hands should be about where the arch of your foot is.
Point your toes.
Snap your legs down with as much force as you brought them up with.
try this, it will help with your legs
Start off by stretching out. Make sure you are warmed up before you actually throw any jumps to avoid pulling or straining muscles.
Next do 3 sets of leg lifts: sit in a straddle on the floor, hands are behind you for support (hands should be on the floor, under or near your tail), slightly lean back and lift both legs (about a foot off the floor), keep your legs STRAIGHT, WITHOUT your legs touching the floor lift them 10 times, release, count to 10 for a breather and repeat. Do a total of 3 sets. Leg lifts are hard but it will strengthen your legs and improve the height of your jumps!!!
After leg lifts we do side high kicks: arms in a T motion, with right leg kick 5 times, breather for for 5 seconds, switch to left leg 5 times.
Ready to begin: Throw your toe touch, count 5-6-7-8, throw another, then repeat.
over all, its hard, but once your a cheerleader, you feel awesome!.. if you dont make it this year, dont give up!.. get into gmynastics!.. then try out again!..
i hope i helped!!.. let me know if you make!!!!
Land with a slight bend in you knees

y there
well I'm pretty strong and I have a 4 pack (or 6 pack?) but here's how i make my abs stronger
do situps. Do about 25 and then repeat 5x.

then once you've done those... try doing the same thing except have your legs up in the air.

then you could rock the boat.. which is kinda hard but it works really well!!
for this one the only thing touching the floor is your tailbone (upper butt bone) and your legs and arms are up in the air, so your stomach is scrunched. sorry if its hard to explain.
then the last exercise is like the boat thing, but instead you have a ball that weighs like 6 pounds or so, and then you touch the ball on each side of you (right side, then switch and touch the ball to the left side)
do about 25 of all of those and repeat 5x and do them for about 2 weeks and you should get strong abs
as for the cartwheel and roundoff-
its really not that hard
but i can't explain it
so heres a website that can

and a roundoff is just like a cartwheel except instead of landing on 2 feet, when you are up in the air and are about to fall down, you push yourself up and land on 2 feet. kinda hard to explain. so sorry
I hope I helped and make sure you do this where there's somebody watching you or where there is soft landing equipment.
