Warming up and stretching correctly before any form of exercise is essential if you want to avoid
injury. Cheerleading will require almost every muscle in your body to engage and considering
cheerleading is one of the most active sports around, you need to make sure warp-up routine is just as
active whilst working all of the muscles you’re about to use.

up routine and then a dynamic stretching routine as this will reduce the chance of injury. A great warm

Stretching. Stretching is the most important part of your routine. Never, ever skip stretching as you
risk harming yourself if you fail to do so. As a cheerleader, you will use almost every part of your body,
so be sure to stretch for 25-30 seconds before you start the next stretch. A good stretching routine will
take around 10-15 minutes. Some of the best stretches for cheerleaders are:
Hamstring Stretches. Sit down and stretch one leg out whilst tucking the other into your groin. Reach
for your toes and hold for 30 seconds. Alternatively spread both legs out and reach to either side for
20-30 seconds at a time.
Hip Stretches. In a standing position, spread your legs to double shoulder width and squat with your
feet pointing outward. Tuck your elbows into your inner knee and squat as low as you can whilst pushing
your knees out.
Quad Stretches. Stand up and bend one knee backwards and catch your foot with the same hand.
Stretch your quad by pulling your ankle towards your body all whilst balancing yourself.
Triceps Stretches. Reach one hand up and then behind your back so your hand is touching the centre
of your back. Push down gently with your opposite hand.
Shoulder Stretches. Reach across your chest with one arm and pull it closer by grabbing underneath
your elbow with your other arm.
Chest Stretches. Hold your hands behind your back and gently raise them as high as you can whilst
keeping your back straight.
You should always aim to warm up for around 10 minutes before you go on to stretches, this will
loosen your muscles up and get them ready for the task at hand. Try and warm up so you feel a little
tired, but don’t overdo it to the point where you are exhausted.
