Big thanks to our partners at GoPro Workouts for the guest article. -Nate If you're ready to take your cheerleading skills to the next level then it's time to incorporate some cheer-specific core workouts into your regimen. Core exercises will help to ensure that you maintain good base stability so that each and every time you land from a jump, you're able to stay on top of your feet and carry on right to the next movement. Those dancers who have poor core strength will really struggle with this, which can significantly hinder their performance. To help boost your core, let's look at some great exercises to incorporate into your training. Handstand Plank The first of the core exercises that you'll definitely want to get in place is a plank on an exercise ball. The plank itself is excellent for generating good muscle endurance and strength and then by placing the hands up on the exercise ball, you only intensify it. Note that this one is rather advanced to do, so if you can't hold a normal plank for at least 30 seconds on its own, work on building up to that first and then advancing from there. If you jump onto the ball too soon, you won't be able to stabilize yourself. Handstand Plank - Morgan Laskey Roll-Up on Core Ball Next is the Roll-Up on Core Ball. When performing this exercise make sure to keep your core engaged. Because you're working with a core ball you get the added benefit of working the core muscles in the front of the stomach as well as the obliques, so really is a great choice all around. Perform it in a slow and controlled movement pattern to keep as much tension as possible on the muscles at all times. Sit-Ups - Morgan Laskey Supine Lateral Ball Roll with Hip Extension Finally, last but not least, consider the Supine Lateral Ball Roll with Hip Extension. This is a good one to add to your cheerleading workouts because it's core focused and hits several muscle groups. Furthermore, it's great to maintain good body control as well, which can be helpful when doing more advanced cheerleading movements.
