Morgan Davidson try stretching first splits both sides then get into a straddle and reach over onto both sides what helped me get mine was every night i set a timer for five minutes and i stretch my legs onto a flat wall doing a middle split and reaching forward with my arms this will create your hips to be more flexible if it burns its working do this and you’ll get it in no time:) if i could i would show pics of my one month progress but keep trying:)
*I'm a 8th grader and I'm going to highschool next year and I'm trying out for cheerleading everything seems like its going to be easy for me EXCEPT the toe touch, splits, and flips (excluding cartwheel)*
@@marianaraya8404 honestly just remember to smile, have a good attitude, and confidence because I know even if youre not that good at the cheers themself if they like your attitude they'll take you but you have a good amount of time before your auditions so I recommend practicing a lot go over those cheer movements make sure you stay tight and the movements are swift and go over those cheer jumps because those are the most challenging also when you're doing cheer you want to say the cheer from your diaphragm not your throat
the comment section is so depressing. was i the only one impressed by her muscles?? why does a muscular girl bother you? it's obvious that she has those muscles to preform cheerleading well
i’m prepping for INCREDIBLY strict cheerleading tryouts in a month so i’m trying to perfect all of my jumps and motions and then make a muscle strengthening exercise routine
Yeah, I'd recommend trying out a toe touch on a trampoline first. You don't want to really focus on touching your toes, just focus on bringing your legs into a straddle in midair. The straddle position would be where you sit on the ground and spread your legs as wide as you can without lifting them off the ground. You'll need to do this in midair while jumping.
every cheer team has different ways to start their toe touch for example the Stingrays ( a competitive cheer team ) starts with a in a clap then their hands out in front of them then they bring it to a low rocket into the T. If your trying out for a cheer team I ( a Competitive cheerleader) would recommend a classic start which would look like hands in a clap on one while you squat with your knees together then bring you hands up by your temple on two almost like a touch down but with your hands together. After that you just bring your hands straight down into the same squatting position one thing to consider is absolutly NEVER cross your hands in the low rocket the people in the video tell you to but it is not good and it makes you toe touch lookk pretty messy when your are preforming. A few tips are to streach every night Always warmup before doing a toe touch keep your chest up it will help you to bring yoi legs up higher and watch toe touch strenthing workouts it will help alot I recommend Anna Mcnulty. Good luck to every one ❤
It's been 10 years since this was posted, but in case someone still watches this, any tips for someone who is not flexible, cannot jump high, or anything that does not make you a physically healthy person 😭 There are long term solutions (?) like exercising, eating food, etc. Looking for short-terms. Or maybe inspirations like maybe someone of you are like the present me but can now do these jumps and stunts with training?
You can have a verry good looking toe touch without being super flexible. Toe touches are kinda an illusion if you keep ur chest up And roll your toes/hips back towards the wall behind you it will look higher I know people who can’t do the splits but have hyper extended toe touches
yeah kaylee is right, you just have to practice and stretch day after day, you'll get it. And don't beat yourself up if you don't get it right away! It takes time
Ahoyimkylie sorry this comment was like forever ago but what that means is instead of your knee facing forward when you jump it should be facing the sky/ceiling and by doing that your rolling your hip
@@iamnotsakurah You might not be trying, but you achieved it anyways. Sometimes it is better to keep mean thoughts to ourselves. I am not sure what her (impressive) level of fitness even has to do with you?
It’s about the technique it’s better to have technique then just jumping high... this is just as important a video can’t teach you strength and stuff u gotta just stretch and keep doing drills and then try it over and over with this technique

I’m semi good at toe touches but in cheer we do these things (I forget what there called) where our right leg goes in front and our left in the back and bro it’s so hardddd
a hurdler is easy to stretch for. sit on the ground with one leg extended and the other bent behind you and hold for about 30 seconds while squeezing your muscles in your legs. hope this helped
shawn, those arent exactly what helps you get a toe touch- practice popping up into a middle splits and then immediately going back down. Be sure to stretch regularly too
Sofi XOX Yes, because once you become a mother all of your grammar skills become even better and you completely shift to being professional at all times. Great logic there.
This isn’t a normal setup for a jump. Most jumps you squat a little and do a clap with your elbows touching, put your hands over your head still in the clap, squat again and bring your hands down at an angle in front of you, circle your ARMS around (not in a clap anymore) and do your jump!
i’m in 7th grade ando can join my school cheerleading team in 9 th so that means i have 2 years. Do u guys think i can learn this and get more flexible in those years.🤔
Her toe touches are so pretty :'(

I am very flexible and have amazing balance and strength but my legs can't go up high enough... 😠
+Kiara Friend but so do you :)
when you do all the stretching and stuff but your jumps won't look like theirs😠😠😠
*J A C K I E* same
Same here, i tried to find videos how to get your legs high
Same
I can lift my legs that high, just cant get off the ground...
Bunny D. same
lol i did cheerleading i got my toe touch in three day you'll get it just keep trying
Jump off your toes, heels up then your toes. It helps along with bended knees.
Try using kinetic bands, they're made especially for cheerleaders.
Morgan Davidson try stretching first splits both sides then get into a straddle and reach over onto both sides what helped me get mine was every night i set a timer for five minutes and i stretch my legs onto a flat wall doing a middle split and reaching forward with my arms this will create your hips to be more flexible if it burns its working do this and you’ll get it in no time:) if i could i would show pics of my one month progress but keep trying:)
for those who have trouble getting higher:
remember, move your legs, don’t apply all the pressure in your hips. KEEP YOUR CHEST UP!!
thanks!
this not teaching any thing it is basiclly telling u what it looks like
ikr
Team Lijah that's exactly how my Cheerios learn. They are between 5-12 years old so if they can learn it this way anyone can.
Team Lijah there is truly no way to explain it besides just jump and spend you leg and land it. You can’t really put it into detail
You’re absolutely right.
True

That did not help what so ever
You need to point your toes when in the air, roll your legs in front of you before going to the side.
To get your jumps higher, on 3 bring down as hard as you can then POp up higher like an explosion
thank you!
I want to do this but i love my legs
I love em too

Your describing all star cheer versus sideline cheer
Today I had my cheer tryouts. We just learned a dance and on Wednesday we have to perform it. At the end we have to do some type of jump.
It's been 10 years since this was posted, but in case someone still watches this, any tips for someone who is not flexible, cannot jump high, or anything that does not make you a physically healthy person 😭
There are long term solutions (?) like exercising, eating food, etc. Looking for short-terms. Or maybe inspirations like maybe someone of you are like the present me but can now do these jumps and stunts with training?
Try finding a gym with a professional trampoline, the extra height will help
You can have a verry good looking toe touch without being super flexible. Toe touches are kinda an illusion if you keep ur chest up
And roll your toes/hips back towards the wall behind you it will look higher I know people who can’t do the splits but have hyper extended toe touches
I have tryouts next week so I'm nervous but I can do this already so I don't know why I'm watching this
good luck!

I think doing on a trampoline helps. I haven't tried it yet, but im pretty sure that the more height you get, the better technique you can have :D
Try again Sally
I cant roll my hips while I do it the jump

to get higher, rotate your hips out. your legs should go kinda front, then back.
THANK U
I can’t turn my legs out how can I help with that bc everytime I try it’s straight and hurts
I was looking for counts and motion thanks
step 1: be flexible
I think it'll help!😩
I’m semi good at toe touches but in cheer we do these things (I forget what there called) where our right leg goes in front and our left in the back and bro it’s so hardddd
A herkie? These girls have a video on herkies too...
A hurdler? Those are easy if you stretch more and practice the motion.
a hurdler is easy to stretch for. sit on the ground with one leg extended and the other bent behind you and hold for about 30 seconds while squeezing your muscles in your legs. hope this helped
Is there a way I can send someone who has cheered a video of my toe touch so I can know what must be improved ??
Omg me and my cheer team are going to the UCA camp for the summer!
Omg this actually works I got my toe touch in the second jump
Is she just very muscular or is she a trans? I respect both
Brandy Mackey really muscular :)
Anonymous TM yeah I can tell!

Chinups pull ups
