Hi Cheerleaders!
As your cheerFIT Ambassador and current cheerleader for Hofstra University, I wanted to share some of my favorite fit tips to help you stay FIT and in cheer shape all summer long!
#1 Thing To Do This Summer: Create a goal for each week- then keep track of your goals accomplished to help achieve your results- Work on old stunts and try to get new skills.
If you’re an athlete you know how crucial it is to stay in shape even in the Off Season. If you don’t stay in shape, you’re body will struggle even more getting back into the season. This is a major concern for cheerleaders because jumping and tumbling can take a huge toll on your body if you are not physically prepared.

No.
