Improving my cheer jumps...?

Question

i really need to make my cheer jumps better... especially my left hurdler.... toe touch... and pike... i need to get them higher... i would also like them to look really close to hyper extended jumps... i want to get them better by my first competition which is in september... but i have a problem.. .my hips get stuck most of the time so its hard to roll my hips when i jump... i really want them to get better and im willing to work as hard as i can to get them that way... please help if you can... thanks

Answer 1

just stretch out everyday and work more on form then go for height.

Answer 2

my jumps used to be horrendous lol but then i all i did was stretch every night before i went to sleep nd now i have like the second best jumps in both squads soo what im saying is

jus stretch every night or every day do like the main stretches sit in a straddle in reach down to the middle then reach to the right then the left also sit in a straddle against a wall nd push yourself towards it

theres this drill that i do sometimes that supposed to help get hyperextended jumps you sit in a straddle nd you place you hands under ur knees nd you try nd lift one of your legs nd hold it for 10 seconds then u do the same to the other

then when you get stronger try to lift both legs at the same time

try not to lean back as you do it

this is a good link for toe touches

Snap-up exercises would help. So would stretching and jumping several times a day.

You can find jumping tips and exercises like snap-ups on any website that teaches the cheer basics: http://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=A0ge...

Answer 5

k first of all, cheerleaders are not what that jeff person said. we work soooo hard as a team. we sweat and we work hard!! also in individual sports you arent a family like in cheer with your team. anyway to get your jumps higher practivce on a tramp and everyday stretch your hips and legs. see if a coach cen help you.
