Re: toe touch

Hey

Try stretching out alot before practicing jumps! If possible practice on a trampoline, It helps get the feel of the jump before actually getting it. It gives you power! BUT DON'T practice on the trampoline , get off and imeaditally practice on the ground. cuz u can sprain ur ankle and stuff!

Re: toe touch

I have been cheering for over 5 yrs now and when i first started i had horrible jumps. But then one day my coach told me i would have the potential to have a hyper-extended jump if i simply did one thing while i jump. . . All you have to do is rotate your hips and sit while your jumping. It is going to feel weird when u first try to do it but after a little while of practice your jumps will gradually start to get higher! i would say start to practice on a trampoline first. Once you get it move to a floor that has a matt or something on it. Its going to feel weird at first and when u first try it on the floor you are going to land low, but dont let it stop you keep going and u will eventually get a feel on how fast you need to whip your legs down so you dont land low. I hope this helped for you if not then feel free to IM me on babigirl4u01 or email me

4 height i would suggest straping ankle weights (start w/ 1 or 2 pounds on each ankle) 2 ur ankles and throwing ur jumps. to make it more staright, pratice on a trampline. Strech alot and strethen ur stomach musles. (do lots of v-ups, leg lifts, and hollow bodies) Hope this helped

try tucking your butt in REALLY!!!!!! hard, that always works for me. Also, try to pretend to kick someone out beside you so that your legs are straight out beside you. hope it works for you!!!

my coach told me to not use ankle weights while jumping because it will mess up your knees and ankles. So please don't jump in ankle weights!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
