Cheerleading is a sport that requires you to be strong in order to do any type of stunt.. If you are a flyer you sometimes must be able to hold your self up on top of someone. If you are a base your must be able to lift a flyer up with your hands and catch a flyer after a dismount.  Also if you are a front or back spot you must be able to help lift a flyer into the air and also catch her after a dismount. Cheerleading is a very hard sport.
	When you are a cheerleader you must be able to perform jumps. There are a lot of jumps and to do them you have to be very flexible. To make a toe touch look good you could practice a split. To do a pike practice touching your toes a holding it for a long time. And also  if you want your backhand spring to look good you should practice your back bends. If you do all of this you should be a very good cheerleader.
