Read on and what you will find out is information on how Kristen and the rest of the amped New England Patriot Cheerleaders workout and use their Vew-Do Zone Balance Boards *the official training device of the New England Patriot Cheerleaders,* for their balance, fitness and agility training. Let's get on with the confession.
Workout Confessions of an NFL
Cheerleader Everybody knows that
NFL cheerleaders must maintain a healthy, fit and glamorous appearance,
but what you might not know, is the amount of physical training
that's involved to keep their bodies sculptured, yet glamorous
and performance ready.
Kristen clued me in to the fact that although they train like banshees, they don't want to build a lot of bulky muscle tissue. We're talking ballet dancer not a ¡®70's East German swimmer.
Their training
method includes conventional conditioning and training routines
like running and cardio workouts, aerobics and even kickboxing
along with the use of elliptical machines and light weight training.
balanced
nutritional program is also a very important because starving
yourself just won't cut it. Like any athletic performer, cheerleaders need to replenish
their energy stores through proper dieting and hydration. Cheerleaders are susceptible to cramping,
muscle pulls and tears just like any other athletic performer.
The shape of low impact fitness training for these curvaceous professionals means the Vew-Do Balance Board has become a non-conventional but integral part of their workouts. Check out what some of training methods are' With the legs extended and the
toes pointed, a conventional push-up is performed with an added
twist that really works the abs. During the up and down motion of the arms,
the board is teeter-rolled from left to right. When this move is done correctly, the added side to side motion
puts an additional torque in the abdomen area.
By adding an additional board
to the foot area, the combination of the push-up, the lateral
"teeter" rock balancing and the additional board at the feet,
transforms this exercise into a total-body, strength, balance
and conditioning workout.
Vew-Do
AB Isometrics - Another ab
favorite Vew-Do exercise of Kristen is an isometric ab toning
exercise. This is
done by placing the Vew-Do on the teeter rock, positioning her
body vertically to the board and gripping each end.
Unlike a pushup, where hand placement
is directly under the shoulders, the hands are positioned forward
of the shoulders with the arms and legs extended, toes pointed
and supporting her body in a stationary position.
By holding herself in this isometric position, after a
few seconds, you begin to feel that "ab burn" that tells you you're
doing it right. This
also works the triceps, shoulders and upper back muscles.
Vew-Do Inclined Squats –
This exercise works the quads, calves and abs. The secret to this workout is the
added benefits of the inclined Vew-Do Board. Using the teeter rock, the board is placed on an incline.
First, perform your squat facing down the inclined board
like a skier and it works the quads, calves and abs.
Facing up the inclined board adds balance training to the
workout and transfers the benefit to the hamstrings, the front
of the ankle area and again, the abs.
The
Vew-Do Balance 101 comes in handy too Kristen and the squad
also use the Vew-Do Balance 101 for core balance training.
The Balance 101 gives her a snappy, quick and more conventional
Vew-Do balance training workout when she needs to get "back to
basics."
So there you have it ¡The workout confessions of an NFL cheerleader. How the New England Patriot Cheerleaders use their Vew-Do Balance Boards for balance, strength and agility training and full body fitness and toning with the added benefit of ab toning and development.
