What Every Flyer Needs To Know
The sport of cheerleading is advancing and so must our fitness game. Each season our stunts get more and more extreme and we continue to push our bodies to the limit. We spend hours at practice repeating that same stunt sequence over and over again – only to leave frustrated and defeated. As a punishment for dropping the stunt, you typically have to do some type of conditioning..and dread it, right?
Wrong!
I want to change the way you think about fitness and revolutionize the current methods of fitness training. Changing how you think about fitness is a HUGE first step to building the foundation for every elite stunt.
Fitness should be a benefit, not a punishment. The more you workout, the stronger you are and the more elite your stunts can be.
And a team that sweats together, wins together!
Flyers, this month I am focusing on the exercises you need to know to improve body control, technique and balance. (Bases and backs, don’t worry because I am focusing on your exercises next article).
Flyers, you have an essential role in your stunt group. As a flyer, you have to focus on body control, flexibility and balance.
