What's in my bag?
My bag contains a lot of things including an ankle brace, knee brace, an extra shirt, an extra pair of socks, etc. Without my cheer bag I would be lost for practice. By putting everything you need in your cheer bag you'll be ready for practice, but have you thought about putting it back in your bag when you're done using the item you grabbed out of your bag? I'm ready for practice....... for the most part and that's because when I take something out of my bag I put it right back where I got it so I don't have to worry about not having whatever it may be for my next practice. Try doing something similar and seeing if that helps you in any way.Making the right choice in your snack before practice

| Fruit |
Normally my brother and I don't get back from practice until about 11 at night on Mondays and Thursdays so I try to eat something before practice Something healthy is what I normally go for because in gives me the energy I'll need during practice. I'll grab a Granola bar, yogurt, or a piece of fruit to eat on the way to practice. I've found out that I do better in practices when I make a healthy snack option before practice rather than an unhealthy option like chips, a candy bar, cookies, etc. This link can give you some healthy snack choice you can think about eating before your next practice.

Exercises I do throughout the week
Throughout the week I like to exercise when I have the time to help me prepare for my next cheer practice. When I have time I normally do push-ups, crunches, leg lifts, and sit-ups. On a nice day out I'll actually go outside to do my exercises just to enjoy the day so you're not all cooped up in your house all day. The push-ups help build up my shoulders and my arm muscle to help improve my stunting and tumbling. Crunches, leg lifts, and sit-ups help tone my core ( abs ) and that"ll help with my technique for my tumbling. The leg lifts will along build up your leg muscle at a slow rate but it will keep them toned so you're not losing muscle in your legs. Sometimes I will go for a run to help build my endurance and leg strength for our routine because a single routine takes a lot out of you with all of the tumbling and stunting you do throughout your time on the mat.
What are somethings you do to help get ready for practice and what snack choices do you making to help improve your practice? Or what are somethings you do at practice that makes it easier for your next practice?
I love all the information provided in your post about what to pact, what to eat, and all the little tips in-between. This was great insight about how important the little thinks are.. like choosing the right snack can create a better performance or exercising on your own can help build your body.
ReplyDeleteYou shared a lot of little things that you do for practice, have you ever stopped and wondered if it was worth it or ever considered skipping over the "little" things? If so, how much does it affect your performance?
ReplyDeleteThere are so many little things that I do that help me out. I have thought about skipping over little things before and when I dopened, something isn't quite right .
DeleteTo answer your question Tyler, something that I do before a practice or game is drink lots of water. I do this because my body needs water or I get dizzy, constant headaches, and feel very weak. I also, like you, eat an orange or a fruit before practice and games because it something light that I won't throw up and its quick and easy to eat.
