Here is another great exercise for cheerleaders that will strengthen your core - PLANKS!
This basic plank position is the perfect position to start with. It is a great exercise to squeeze in 3 sets in the morning, while you are watching TV or just before you go to bed. Here are some tips to remember:
- 1 set is 8 counts
- Make sure you have your body in a straight line.
- To start, keep your knees on the ground and then work up to straight leg planks.
