Question
i have no idea about cheerleading really , but i've always thought about doing it i just never came around . I'm in the 8th grade , i'm 13 , around 5' and go up and down on the scale from 120-130 . I'm kinda big boned , but not nessicary . I have never in my life went into cheer , i don't even know how to do a cart wheel . I've tryed exercise aand everything through the summer but its hard to really keep me on it . I know a cheerleader and shes really slim compared to me and it makes me feel like i can't do it . I have a pretty face , and i have a pretty loud voice at times . But i really have no idea what i should do , and please be honest if you really think i could actually make the team .

Answer
well its up to you to decide if you should tryout but if you do you're gonna need to do some classes before hand just so you have a little bit of experience. Cheering doesn't make everyone skinny for the most part yes it does, but some girls like the bases get muscles and i mean huge muscles. So if you are trying to do cheer becauseyou want to lose weight then that isnt good. You have to really love cheering for you to succeed in it. if you don't try out and you still want to lose weight, you should try something fun like cardio kickboxing it really thins legs and hips and running is the best exercise to do if you want to lose weight. hope this helped.
