fitness games for middle school
I am in 5th grade right now and when i get to 6th grade i want to try out for the cheer leading team, any tips?
They said that tumbling is optional but i want to have the best chance to make this squad. I can not do the splits, any handsprings, or tucks/flips. But I can do a back-bend and, a front handspring on the trampoline and also a front tuck on the trampoline, and then i can do a Cartwheel but i am having a prob with a round off.
Another thing is that i am 5 foot and i weigh between 98-101 (it is diffrent every once in a while). Don’t tell me i am not over weight because i know i am and on the wii it says i am to.
Anyways, could you guys give me some tips on how to become more flexible, how to lose weight and build muscle ( I am already trying Wii fit and i am asking for the new fitness game for Christmas so don’t say that please), and what i should doo to learn everything about Cheer.
One more thing is that what do you think is exspected at middle school tryouts.
im n high school u have to have good grades they prefer u have tumbling skills but u don’t have to if u do u get extra pts.from the judges smile alot … we had 3 days to learn the chant, cheer, dance (which they tought us), but ur school might have u come up with them 4th day was the tryout we were put in groups in four , we also practiced stunting but we ended up not doing it at tryouts tried out for freshmen squad but didn’t make it im a soph. now i plan to try out for varsity in april.. im going to be working hard by the way & sometime during my jr. yr get tumbling lessons to get those skills dwn
did u go to the info. mtg. yet?
jumps: toe touch, front hurdler, herkie, tuck, pike (they want them high)
make sure u have precision,nice tight motions not sloppy or broken wrists
req.: ask any present cheerleaders or the coach if u need tumbling if u do end up needing it take a class cuz u can’t perfect them by urself u can get hurt
work out plans : stretch,cuz u need strength for ur motions, jumps, and when stunting, running/walking
stretches:sit with legs in a V position, as far apart as you can and lean and stretch at the same time on both sides (lean over left leg, then lean over right leg) also, try reaching your hands out in front of you as far as you can while doing these exercises., butterfly as well.If you do this on a regular basis, you will continue to become more flexible.
meal plan: fruits, veg, sweets every now and then try to stay fit
