For Cheerleaders who want to improve their jumps.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Step 1

1* The most important thing to do is to stretch. Make sure that you stretch out well enough so that you do not end up pulling any muscles.
Step 2

2*Do some leg lifts. Sit on the ground with your legs in a v. Place your hands near your tailbone. Lean back a little and lift your legs about a foot off of the ground. Raise your legs and hold for ten seconds. Take a deep breath and repeat. (i usually do it about 10 times)
Step 3

3*Do some side kicks. Make sure your arms are in the high V position. Bring your leg as high as you can without pushing yourself to far. Do about 5 on each side.
Step 4

4*Practice doing some toe touches. THe more practice that you have the better you will become. (dont forget to point those toes during the jump.)
