Question
can male cheerleaders become as flexible as the girls. can they slide down into splits or do toe touches.i really wanna know
Hi Anthony!
Yes it is possible for male cheerleaders to become just as flexible as girls. If fact, I've seen some male cheerleaders that have had better jumps than girls due to their hard work on flexibility and natural strength. However, most guys have to work harder on flexibility in order to have their splits down and jumps high! In the end though, that hard work will pay off!
