It is annoying just doing stretches after stretches, but honestly? It's the best way to get flexible. Here are some ways to make stretching less monotonous are to:
001. listen to music while stretching
002. watch tv while stretching
003. read a book while stretching
004. talk on the phone while stretching
also, here are some fabulous ways to stretch that will get you mega flexible mega fast:
001. lie on the floor with your butt and the heels of your feet against a wall. let each of your legs fall in opposite directions towards the floor (or just one at time)
002. sit on the floor and gently move your legs in opposite directions to do a front split. learning to do a split where your legs are evenly being stretched on each side of you first will make it way easier to learn how to stretch with one leg behind you and one leg in front of you.
003. also jump rope a lot. It's a great way to exercise and build up leg muscle.
as for the weight thing... I do a hundred crunches every night before I shower. its pretty quick and its a great way to build up my abs :)
try doing the special k challenge. and dont eat when you are bored. avoid snacks and sodas. drink water... it has no calories and it does wonders for your body! =]
hope this helped.

Flexibitly, stretch every night. Thats it. Do the splits as far down as you can go on each side and middle. Do stretches when you wake up. Stretch your legs and arms and back and entire body just like you would before you start practicing. It WILL help. If you want to loose weight, cut out pop/sweets/junk food/fast food. If you eat it alot, try to only eat it maybe once a week. If you don't eat it alot, then thats good. Getting ride of that stuff might be hard for a lot of teens/kids so if you do that thats a big accomplishment. If you cheer alot, practice atleast 2 times a week then thats a good work out. If you feel it's not enough, bike ride. It's a great way to burn calories as its so easy and relieves stress. Run too, though I think bike riding is easier haha so maybe you'd like that? Well, just try to get a lot of fruits and veggies into your meals, atleast a serving at each meal. Hope this helped! Come back if you need anything else
Also- for nice stomach, do sets of 23 crunches.. about 4-5 each night? You can start off small then go for more. It should help

Well for flexiablity, stretch 3 times a day. Hold each one for 30 secs. Then if your already in gymnastics then keep that up. If not try doing backbends, or even get into gymnastics.
-Also its a stretch but really helps with splits, lay on your stomache. Lift one leg up and have someone push it towards your head, striaght back, not to the side or anything.. You have to do this right, and theres not really a way to explain it to make it right. If it hurts like pain, then its not right. You should feel it pull your muscle, not cause pain.
Do each jump 10 times, twice a day if you are able to. Even once a day will really help!!
Start doing exercising for your legs to help your jumps, which will also get your legs more apart.
-Sit with your legs apart, and put one hand infront of you and one behind. (close to your butt and vajaja, haha) then lift your (right) lef up and move it in circles to the back. Start with 10(on each leg) and go up by 2 each day. Try doing this atleast twice a day. If not then its still going to help..
Your weight is fine. If your going to tone your stomache up, you will gain weight. (muscle weighs more then fat)
Do crunches. 100 a night. Or however many times a day. Start running. You really dont want to be a twig cheerleader. I think those look eww. And not even like cheerleaders.
I also love cheerleading and hope to cheer in college. Good luck! =D
