How To Get HIGHER JUMPS and Toe Touches - Cheerleading and Gymnastics

[marieclaire8716]

i can totally see that thing just SNAPPING and cutting your legs... lol

[cloudykate]

She has really nice jumps!

[LilzMissWelches]

how did th bands help? yhu did better w/o them!

[myosource]

@LilzMissWelches the bands help build strength in the legs , Hips, improve flexibility and balance. When you take the bands off your legs feel light and strong which helps you better perform each jump and stunt.

[jmonroe1824]

i felt awkward for a moment but it seems like a good idea. shame on the ones who'd be super disrespectful to a YOUNG girl!

[365DaysOfRobots]

Can i buy these and can you deliver them to ireland? I really need them to help my jumps :(

[myosource]

@365DaysOfRobots you can buy them on our web site. myosource . com or see the link in the description of the video. We ship to Ireland quite frequently.

Youtube will not allow us to place the complete URL in the comments section.

[365DaysOfRobots]

@myosource Oh really? Thanks! Im getting them soon :) Thanks again :)

[xxrominaxx100]

@365DaysOfRobots im a cheerleader in ireland too :)

[xiTayPrincessx]

@sissygd11 Ok Whatever . . .

[xiTayPrincessx]

@sissygd11 Huh ?

[xiTayPrincessx]

Didnt Teach Me A Thing :/

[livelaughcheer1]

this really helped me. thank you and i dont think people should be criticizing.

[tayrexism]

Hey guys, they arent asking for feedback on how to improve her jumps.

So stop criticizing. It's an advertisement for Kinetic Bands.

Can't you read?

[earnest936]

I think the video is helpful but should be shown AND explained so everyone actually understands what you are doing and why you are doing it. Great ideas for jump improvement though I must say.

[myosource]

@earnest936 Please see our Cheer and gymnastics playlist. We have updated videos with much more information.

[simplyShelb1]

i ejoyed this video.

[ElysiaWillandxD]

I love your hurdlers!

[MCRmyPRINCESS]

@brittaaanygym99

Hahah, yeah I know right.(:

[NatNatBye]

@brittaaanygym99 She didn't broke or break the kinect band she just unbutton the band 2 see the difference between the jumps

[MCRmyPRINCESS]

@brittaaanygym99

She didn't break it, she undid the band so she could show the difference in the jumps.

[presentgirl66]

those are awesome toe touches and i wished i would've thought of getting those when i was learning i can do a toe touch but this would've made it a whole lot easier dnt listen to anyone commenting clearly they dnt know what excercise is and i bet half of them cnt even do toe touches keep it up!! :)

[saniah8599]

damn she can jump high...u go girrrrrrllllll!!!!!!!

[christenn3cheerr]

this wass reallyy UNHELPFUL..

[mrsmarnster]

Wow, I can't BELIEVE how rude some people are. This video was posted to HELP; not show off, not hurt anyone, not offend. It certainly wasn't posted to be critiqued or dissected the way some of you are doing...seriously, what the heck is wrong with you? I suggest you get a hobby other than writing hurtful things on YouTube videos...you're pathetic.

Thank you to the original poster...I just ordered my daughter the stunt strap and am considering these for her jumps.

[myosource]

@mrsmarnster Thank you. it amazes me what people will say. this is my daughtrer and she had a temp of 103 that day but didnt want to let me down. she worked hard and had a great run with her cheer carrer and now on to finish here College education. some of these people will be stuck with the reality that rude comments is all they accomplish.

[LondonCheerleader]

You should have smiled. It would make people want to watch this more.

[sarabeth1410]

toes toes toes :(

[keeyxO]

point your toes, and try to land on your toes and not flat foot. so you shouldn't really hear anything.

[carissaandkatecheer]

your jumps are awesome!

[FrazierUptown5]

WTFF 0___o

[msprettycheerleader9]

at the beginning your wrist were , as we say " holding buckets " . otherr than that , good jumps *

[hottie6733l]

thats such a good idea but someone needs to tell her to land on her toes she is starting to sound like an elephant when she lands

[KaTausMS]

BOOM BOOM BOOM. 

[TheClover0820]

those are pretty good jumps :)

[yurikoandelliebby]

those peice of shi...i mean strinq is suppose twee help you out?? pshh by now i would hve been touched the sky :)

[alexiabrittin21]

can any cheerleader out there teach me how to do a toe touch? i'm a ballet dancer and i can do the middle splits. i can do the side split leap, but i just can't do the toe touch. my legs aren't strong enough. how many of these lunges or squats should i do and how fast can i expect progress :D thanks.

[blakeyw07]

The very first toe touch in the very beginning was sick! Its was reallly good!

[TheChristinastyle]

you suck!

[xxGRRxx92]

My toe touches are okay... I'm not flexible, at all. :( Which makes me sad, but they still LOOK good; I point my toes and hit my T and everything. Even got it all on camera. They just don't FEEL good.. Do you have any tips to improve flexibility? I'm 17, and I know once you pass a certain age then you're kind of a lost cause. But is there ANY way to improve flexibility? I can't even get a simple split. :'(

[completelycrazy123]

@xxGRRxx92 [: It's okay. I'm horrible with toe touches too. I'm thinking it's because I can't do a simple side split? But for getting more flexible, you have to STRETCH daily. Look up some information on how to stretch for what you're trying to do[:

[PaigeChat]

Thank you so much!

[shiptuneflyers]

Haha xD

[lifesAnnette]

I have these! THEY REALLY WORK!

i used to SUCK at my toe touches!(it looked like i was doing a jumping jack) once i got them, i used them for like about two weeks, and started seeing a whole lot of improvement! i do v's now when i do a toe touch!

i recomend this to anyone who wants perfect jumps, and it'll defenitely get you a spot on a cheer team.

but remember, not over night, but over time(:

think about it(:

[MegaKelly13]

whut is she doing

[quinnbeeloved]

our jumps are really good

[Killy1Leo]

Would it kill her to smile?

[aznbiotch1113]

@Killy1Leo if she's wearing those kineticbands. would you happy wearing those while doing your jumps all the time? this isn't the only video she has done demonstrating these jumps. if i had to do as many videos + just at home working out with those, i wouldn't be a happy camper. unless you would like to put up some videos of YOU doing these great jumps with those bands, please do so Hunn. i would be more than happy to watch &criticize all the things about your video thats very irrelevant:)

[Killy1Leo]

@aznbiotch1113 okay slow down and get off ur high horse...maybe i should have put a smiley face after my comment or something? but it was meant in a light, joking way...i think this girl has AMAZING jumps and i certainly wasnt criticising her. It just happens that it is hard to pick up tone over the internet...

[XxMoniePhoePhyvexX]

horrible jumps in the begginning. Flexed feet?? yikes!! #imjustsayin

[nextkids8]

where do u get the band thing

[MandaLoBubb]

i just bought these knee bands today, i am soooo excited to use them so my jumps will be higher!

[Twindomination1]

wow your jumps so good it doesnt even look like your trying to do them lol

[xoxo1497]

ahhhhhh i hate you! your toe touches are AMAZING! im so jealous right now : /

[NINAABANINAA]

idk why this video seems  REALLY AWKWARD ahaha. but yeah i should try this my jumps suck.

[colev002]

were can i get some 'Resistance Kinetic Bands'?

[MissBlondieCheer]

haha did the band fall off at the end or did she take it off ?

[myosource]

she unbucked the bands to show the contrast between in jumps.

[crystalhopkins96]

@MissBlondieCheer hey stfu,

[babiigx333]

u have to point ur toes when u do a toe touch

[myosource]

she is wearing resistance bands for leg strength and training for higher jumps. the jumps are not perfect.

[PaigeChat]

@babiigx333 The toe touch bas perfect what are you talking about!

[Alsterz09]

@babiigx333 It's actually better when training to flex your feet as you get a better stretch and strengthen your muscles :)

[Alsterz09]

@babiigx333 It's actually better when training to flex your feet as you get a better stretch and strengthen your muscles :)

[gkdancer123]

@babiigx333 she has a tempreture of 103! Don't you get a hint that she can't be enthusiastic and doesn't have the leg strength to point her toes?!

[jjlinert]

Is there a way to remove the negative comments?

Your videos are inspirational and keep posting more success stories.

I don't mind constructive criticism or questions, but rudeness is not called for here.

[myosource]

Hello JJlinert; Thank you. I also do not mind constructive criticism. I have gone back and forth about deleting them and I am thinking I will delete the foul language. It's hard to believe people would get on here and curse and someone they do not even know. I hesitate to take the video down because there are viewers like yourself. I admit she certainly was not at her best but the message is doing something constructive to get better and some see this as a way to express their rudeness

[jjlinert]

Thank you for the kind response and words. I don't want to cause censorship or anything like that! But when young athletes trying their best, improving their selves, & performing extremely well in videos like these, it's very inspiring. A rude comment might discourage other young athletes (or anyone else like those in performance arts, etc) especially if the individual is sensitive. Then again," every rose has a thorn" . There tends to be more positive comments than negative.

[Cheer4FAD]

i was wondering if there is any other way to get your jumps better without kinetic bands. im a cheerleader in australia and its hard getting any good advice around because cheerleading is only just now getting to be a popular sport. thanks

[glowinthedarkpompoms]

@Cheer4FAD what i do is practice my jumps on both dead floors (like wooden) and matted floors, the dead floor teaches you the spring you need, and the matted floors absorb the strength you put into it, making it harder to jump. that way, when my team have practices and competitions on sprung floors, our jumps are super high and good, even mine, and my jumps suck. it does work. your from FAD? i think we competed against you last year at DUSC and Nationals :) might see you again this year

[enerumu]

@jjlinert very well said ;)

[courtneylynnbby]

u guys dont need to be rude! i think u did a good job (:

[myosource]

Thank you Courtney: she had done this with a 102 temperature as a favor to me. I have left it up because it shows exercises that will help. there are so many people on here that have nothing to do so they do not pay attention to the message and feel the need to trash talk others who try.

I asked her if she wanted me to take it down and she said she is not concerned. here 4 National Championship Jackets speak for her. she Cheers at a Major Universityand most trash talkers will not.

[myosource]

She has 4 National Chmapionship Jackets to show for her efforts.

If you are going to make rude comments please take your comments somewhere else.

[SuperPrettyMoney]

She Isnt Teaching Me Nothing.!

[myosource]

She is demonstrating some exercises with the kinetic bands to help you build leg strength for better jumps and balance. If you work these exercises your legs with strengthen which will help you push off the floor to greater heights.

What information are you looking for.

[dougmoda]

cool

[heythereitsalisha]

we all agree she is sloppy.

fer sure.

but its prob cuz shes just doing it to do it.

you know.

i would be kinda off if i didnt really have to do it and i was tired.

[myosource]

I did not realize at the the time she was sick and her temperature was 102. she did it at that time to help me out. this is for demonstration purposes to show exercises with the bands to help build leg strength for your jumps and stunts.

she has 4 National Champ Jackets but had a very off day. you are welcome to state your opinion . if you dont think the bands will work then dont buy them. We have way to many athletes getting great results to deal with the few that want to criticize.

[baleighandtorishow]

i don't think it works. before you put it on it was better.

[myosource]

when you put the bands on you are restricted by the resistance which does not allow you to jump as high. after you take them off you will see a huge difference. the resistance helps build strength in your legs to help you jump higher.

[Soonerzgurl904]

in the beginig in the background it sounds like a fight,,,lmao!!!

[myosource]

We were busy trying to put together a demonstration and not paying attention to what the other athletes were doing in the back ground. If you are paying attention to the back ground noise and Lmao then you are not interested in improving your athleitc ability.

[Soonerzgurl904]

well I am satisfied with my jumps!!!my coach said my jumps are perfect.i just saw this in my suggested vids so i just took time to watch it.

[alansk8fordays]

she needs to land a cleaner tre

[myosource]

she did not tell me at the time that she had a 103% temperature.

[lrigyrtnuocyelyah]

she needs to land quiter

[mitchellizmine]

Hi you are a cheerleader right? Well I am trying out for my cheer team in November (tryouts for if you didnt make it before) ...and I know everything that is expected..but I really need to get my toetouch. pikes and hurdlers (herkie) higher and I need help with that...they arent high. sooo...I need advice on what to do!!! Help?

[zunefreakster]

Hi there. I'm a cheerleader for my school and some advice for you is to STRETCH STRETCH STRETCH every single night and not only will you be able to do the splits but your jumps will get higher and much better, keep practicing and good luck. [=

[myosource]

Just keep practicing. You need to somehow get stronger. If you do not have the bands, do the exercises without them.

[katelyn0201327]

lol her toe touches with the band thingy is better than mine without

[myosource]

This was a simple demonstration of exercises using the resistance bands to help core strength and higher jumps. she was ill that day but wanted to get it done. we have other videos that are much better.

[youjulz]

??????????????????????????????­?????????????

[bbytayyyx34]

[cheerleader678]

Hi my coaches are making me do a standing backhand backtuck in the routine they have spotted me a few times but i have no clue on how to get enough power or momentome

[myosource]

[ducky12341]

[myosource]

[aylagurl93]

where do you get the bands?

[reeses132]

where can i get these bands???

[myosource]

Hello Frizzle67: It sounds like part of the problem is your leg and hip strength. In order to maintain your balance and rotate you need stronger hips,legs and stretch your lower back.

I will email you with more info.

thank you,

coach McQueen

[frizzle67]

im 11 years old..and ive been doing gymnastics since i was 3 and i've gotten only as far as a back walkover but ive never had any coaching..but now as i try to teach myself how to do a back hand spring i see that i cant do my backwalkovers properly i do the backbend then i have to move my legs a little..this has been a problem because now i cant to my backbends quickly enough to jump back..

Any tips?

Please help.

[bowserfish]

Heya, Im 14 and a cheerleader but im not very good with my Jumps.. Do you think the bands will help me? Thanks x

[myosource]

Hello bowserfish: Yes I believe the bands would be great for your jumps. I work with Cheerleaders to help them improve the jumps and I would be happy to help. Please check out our web site and send me an email. see more info above for a directlink to the web site.

[myosource]

My daughter who is an eighth grade cheerleader has been using the kinetic bands for about a month now to improve her tumbling and her jumps. In just a month's time the bands have not only almost perfected her roundoff/backhandspring, . Her jumps have also really improved as her legs are both straight and tight during her toe touches in only a month.. . I appreciate the fact that you have put her on a training program and are working with her as well. Thank you so much. Kendra

[myosource]

I am a high school cheerleading coach and I've been coaching for 13 years. I am constantly on the Internet getting ideas for exercises to help improve our jumps and talking with other coaches and cheerleaders to see what they do to get good jumps. This was one of the best decisions as a coach that I have ever made! These bands are amazing they made such an improvement on our jumps that other coaches started asking me what we did to make our jumps so good.

[myosource]

Thank you. I will ship them out immediately.

The Kinetic Bands will really help your girls with leg strength without building bulk. You will enjoy the results.

Marlin McQueen

[allstarmomof2]

Got them today! Love them! Thanks.

[myosource]

Thanks. let me know if you have any questions and I look forward to your feedback.

have a great day.

[allstarmomof2]

Cool, I just ordered these for my girls. Both are cheerleaders, cant wait to see how

they do, both work some with resistance equipment, but nothing for the legs.

[myosource]

Thank you for the inquiry.

I am working on more detailed video training.

The short drills here, i.e. lunges, steps ups and squats, along with the Kinetic Resistance Bands work the Quick Twitch muscles in the "Core" area to build strength and power that are used to help improve jumps. Stronger legs, without bulk, help push the jump to higher levels along with control and safe landings.

We guarantee results with just a little training with the Kinetic Bands.

[kelsocheer]

ok i think i get it alittle bit but how do u get ur legs higher. cuz i get the height of ur jump part. i rlly need 2 know for tryouts in a few weeks!!!

[myosource]

The key to higher jumps is increasing strength in the "core" of your body which includes the hamstrings, quadriceps, glutes or back side and hips.

The resistance will help build this strength. Try your jumps with the Kinetic Bands on and then again with them off We guarantee you will see and feel the difference.

By using the bands consistently each day for just a few minutes leading up to tryouts, you will improve your jumps. Please let me know if I can help in any way.

Coach McQueen

[gymnasticstildeath]

wat if u dont have the bands

[myosource]

I would like to see you get them. We are getting great results. If you are wanting higher jumps I would be glad to help.

Sincerely,

Coach McQueen

[squeakersmom17]

I am not sure I understand what the message is here I have a young cheerleader that wants to improve her jumps.

[wolfcub39]

How old would a person have to be in order to begin using the KB's? Pre-teen OK?

[myosource]

Pre-Teen is fine. I generally reccomend around 8 years old depending on their body size.

I also try to evaluate how much they would actually use the bands. Some of the younger ones tend to be more distracted. Our hope is they enjoy the training and see the results. I am available for discussion if needed.

Thanks you.

Coach McQueen

[myosource]

that was edited. we unhooked the bands to show the difference in her jump height with and without them hooked up.

I need to work on my editing skills plus I did not realize at the time that she was not feeling well. we are going to do more footage with her now that she is feeling better.

thank you for commenting.

[gymlova]

ya your things fell off at the end
