Boys in Cheerleading
The interesting thing about male cheerleading is that the stereotype tells us that Cheerleading is a girly sport when in truth, for males involved in the sport, it is one of the most phyiscally demanding activities they can take part in. Essentially, male cheerleading is explosive weightlifting, strength training, flexibility training and coordination. Many of the major components of fitness are involved in cheerleading and especially so in male cheerleading. Few other sports can claim the same thing with strength and flexibility training being supplementary activities that lads need to do in their own spare time. Cheerleading conditioning means you get all the training while you're training, not while you're on your off time.
