Stretching

[LiveLoveCheer7]

I try to stretch a lot, but I end up doing the same stretches over and over. Does anyone recommend any stretches? (I mean for a heel stretch, bow, scorpion, or needle.)

Google the scorpion floor stretch :) I'm not good at describing it lol but we do it before crossfit workouts ~and two of the local college cheerleaders made a comment about how they use it before stunting...

I learned a lot of new stretches from Ria, she's an aerialist who gives really good advice. She has a tumblr, and she also makes some instructional videos on youtube. Here's the link to her channel

Search Gabi Butler's stretch video on youtube!

My CP does the stretches in this video almost everyday. You wouldn't believe what a difference it's made in her flexibility!

It would be interesting to know how far you have gone with your stretching to recommend new exercises to improve it even more.

A simple excercize that I learned is to stand in a doorway at home and do a split up against one side and use the other side of the doorway to press yourself back, into the position of a needle. This helped me and other girls in my gym tremendously.
