What are some cheerleading stretches?

Answer

I do cheerleading and every time we have practice we do these stretches -- try holding them each for 10 seconds and the split and the strattle for 25.

-do 25 jumping jacks
-sit in a strattle position and touch your toes on the right, left, and then the middle
-put your feet straight out in front of you and spread them about 6" apart; now touch your toes
-put your feet out straight in front of you and touch your toes
-ut one foot out in front of you and the other one bent so that your foot is on your knee; not reach for your toes and switch legs
-get in a lunge position with your knees on the ground and lean forward while your hips are straight; now do the other leg
-lean back on one knee and stretch out the other leg and point your toe; reach for your toe and switch legs
-do a split with both legs; try adding time onto 25 seconds and your split will get even better!!
-rotate your arms backwards and forwards in medium, big, and small circles
-lift one leg up in the air so that it is straight while you are sitting down; have the other leg bent towards the leg you are stretching; make sure that your leg is straight and put your hand on the heel of your foot; now switch legs

I hope these work for you and make you become a better cheerleader =]
