Winning Ways:
Cheer To Success With Weight Training

Wednesday, April 14, 1999

By Amanda Holloway
SJSports Special Correspondent

Working out in the weight room with our strength coach has helped me a great deal with cheerleading in many ways. I have become a stronger person both mentally and physically. Weight training has helped me tremendously with stunting. As a base, it is important to use your legs as well as your arms. By training, my legs have become much stronger. This also helps with my jumps. Another by product of my strength program is that now my abs are stronger. It is important to have a strong middle section for jumps, as well as tumbling which is a very important part of cheerleading.
