DO THIS IF YOU WANT TO FEEL AWESOME

Well hello there!

I want to start off this blog post by taking a deep breath to focus, refocus and refresh. Between all the competition hype this weekend (Majors 2016, UCA College Nationals, local competitions, etc…), chances are we could all use a little rest and relaxation action.

It is important to reflect on each competition and learn from it (similar to what we did in the new year). Additionally, it is just as important to keep those spirits high and keep that ‘I am awesome’ attitude going strong!

As cheerleaders, chances are we all have at least one thing in common – we are all pretty positive people!

But as we go through the season I am sure you are faced with some difficult times that chip away at that positive vibe…

Whether you missed that ending pyramid, you were off a count or 2 in that choreography, or  you just didn’t bring your ‘A’ game to the last competition – the season can sure take a toll on cheerleaders (both physically and mentally).

And that is exactly why I created this unbelievably effective no equipment workout to help YOU feel awesome! 

This is a perfect workout to bring to your team! Instead of practicing that routine over and over again, switch it up! Ramp up the energy by getting your weekly Wednesday cheerFIT workout on.

No gym? No problem!Now go get to it!

Compete each exercise for 60 seconds and repeat this circuit 4 times.

Now that we are in the heart of competition season – we should be focusing on advancing those skills and making that routine just a little bit more challenging. But wait …how can you advance if you are not feeling AWESOME and you are letting those negative vibes bring you down?

To help you keep up that AWESOME energy,  I have listed my top 5 fitness resources:

1.) For a fun little workout boost that can build team camaraderie or challenge you to kick it up a notch, give the January #cheerfitchallenge a try. Tag (I mean challenge) your friends and teammates to join ya! Check it out here.

2.) Do you want fresh, never seen before, customized workouts from me every week? Check out my cheerFIT Membership.  Each week I offer a brand new workout, fit tips, nutrition advice PLUS 24/7 access to a dedicated cheer fitness trainer here to help you stay accountable and reach those goals! Never fall off that fitness trail again. Check it out here.

3.) Visualization is SO important! Each night before you go to sleep, run through your routine in your head, hit everything in that routine with perfection and finish by thinking a positive thought! Sweet dreams : )

4.) Keep a well balanced diet and clean eating strategy. Stay away from the processed and sugary foods and drinks. For tips and advice, meet our cheerFIT nutritionist here.

5.) Just breath! Take 60 seconds everyday (preferably right when you wake up) to set your goals for the day, plan your workouts, and make everyday awesome.
