Cheer abs – everyone wants them, but how do you get them?
As the fitness trainer for cheerleaders, I get this question a lot. Yes, everyone would love to rock a 6 pack in that uniform and ‘show off’ that mid section – but the real way to train your abs is not by doing more crunches.
Are you ready for a little secret?

This month, I am encouraging you to get your workout on and stay in cheer shape even during the holiday season. Despite the holiday parties to attend, christmas cookies to make (and eat) and gifts to buy, I want you to remember exactly what you have worked all season for! That’s right, I have said it before and I will say it again – competition season is here my friends and I want you in it to win it.
Wow! I can’t believe it, Thanksgiving has come and gone and the holiday season is in full swing. I must say, I love seeing the houses decorated with bright lights, and there is just that something special being in NYC around this time of year. Don’t you just love the extra sparkle in your town?
Now, although we are all filled with a little extra holiday cheer – it is important to remember competition season is here! Of course, I want you to enjoy every ounce of the holiday season, but I don’t want you to sabotage all that hard work that you have been practicing ALL season for! (more…)
Happy #WORKOUTWEDNESDAY and almost Thanksgiving! Wow, what perfect timing for a workout Wednesday!!
Here at cheerFIT, Thanksgiving truly is one of our favorite holidays. Between hanging with the fam’, getting into that holiday spirit and eating great food, it’s pretty darn awesome!
Ah but yes, I know Thanksgiving is also a notorious time for the famous ‘food coma’ and turkey overload, which is exactly why this week’s #WORKOUTWEDNESDAY is focused on getting in that pre-turkey burn and tips for giving thanks by saying NO thanks to that second helping!
So gather your friends and family and join us – it’s #WORKOUTWEDNESDAY time!
We’ve got 4 main exercises that I want you to complete for 60 seconds each and repeat the circuit 3 times.
Have you heard the quote “Success depends on your backbone, not your wishbone” ? Even better question, have you realized that YOU are the backbone of your stunt group? If you didn’t realize it before – it is time for a little confidence boost because back spots, you have an essential role in stunting. Yes, back spots I am talking to you. (but remember, back spot or not – whatever your position on the team, YOU have an integral role and should proud of what you bring to your team!)
This week’s #WORKOUTWEDNESDAY is a powerful one and focused on helping you advance your stunt group by building shoulder strength and core strength.
Oh hey cheer bases!
This week we are talking to you!
This #WORKOUTWEDNESDAY is coming at ya hot – hot – hot and focused on helping you improve technique and build strength – both physically and mentally. *Flyers, backs, and all my other fit friends – this is still a great read and workout for you too – so read on!
