So, here\u2019s a cheerleader workout to help you <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreo.com\/mysa\/looking-fit-dress-like-pro-athlete-without-breaking-bank\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">look fit<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> as a fiddle in those homecoming pictures.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Warm Up<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gimme a G! Gimme an O! Now, GO for a light jog around the football field. It will <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreo.com\/mysa\/outdoor-workout-ideas-to-get-your-heartbeat-up-this-summer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">get your blood pumping<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and get you pumped up for the big game.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Cheer Stretches<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Time to limber up, cupcake. We can\u2019t have you pulling a muscle mid-halftime routine.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Weighted Squats x 25<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Repeatedly launching another human 20 feet into the air &#8211; and then catching them as their body comes hurtling back to earth &#8211; builds some serious leg muscle. You\u2019ll never get the gams of an actual cheerleader, but you can try.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Bicep Curls x 25<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cheerleader legs are super important, but you can\u2019t forget about those arms. Megaphones can get heavy and, again\u2026 hoisting a human over your head. Plus, toned arms just look better in sleeveless uniforms.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Jump Squats x 30<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A typical homecoming game will last around 4 hours, and during that time, each cheerleader on the sidelines will do 987 jumps. You don\u2019t want to be the weak link on the squad, so get jumping.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>T-Kicks x 15 (on each side)<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You\u2019re not just <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">born <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">with the ability to perform a perfect toe-touch; you earn it. Extend your arms out, forming a \u2018T\u2019 with your body. Bring your leg up to meet your arm, and slowly lower it back down. Your inner thighs will scream, but you\u2019ll be able to jump high enough to look down on everyone else.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>V-Sit x 50<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you\u2019re the flyer &#8211; a.k.a. the girl balancing on one foot in the palm of your friend\u2019s hand &#8211; your core is everything. You can stop doing crunches when you have a six-pack.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Facial Exercises<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Last, but certainly not least, your face &#8211; the very foundation of pep. All that smiling builds some seriously <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreo.com\/mysa\/facial-exercises-slim-face\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">toned facial muscles<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, so start squeezing those cheeks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Repeat above every day for a few weeks, and you might be ready for homecoming.
