10 Cheer Moves for a 10-Minute Workout
I have fond memories of my cheerleading days — and fond memories of how fit I was! How on earth did I do those toe touches? If I were to try now, I’m sure I’d pull a muscle. But my memory of what a great workout cheerleading is leads me to sharing this workout with you. Danielle Wechsler, founder of cheerFIT Training has put together this cheer-inspired workout that will work on cardio, strength and flexibility. I especially love how these moves really challenge your balance and stability so that you’re working your entire core from your back to your abs! Do each move for one minute and you’ll be worked out from head to toe in no time. Not peppy? No worries! The non-cheerleaders in the house can definitely rock them, too.
