Once a Cheerleader, Always a Cheerleader….

Some of us were thinking that we all might have a similar learning curve on this activity since it had been 15-20 years since the former cheerleaders in the club actually cheered. This was NOT the case. Some members excelled….. so, RAH RAH RAH Kristin & Summer!!!!

To others (okay – maybe just OTHER) the only spirit they were able to capture was the spirit of Club TAOS… by stepping out of their comfort zone to TRY ANYTHING ONCE.

This activity was our first at-home activity and we had Christie from FoxyBodyFitness come to Shana’s house to instruct us. Christie’s company specializes in at-home personal training but Christie was kind enough to customize an hour session for us which focused on cheering. Christie was perfect –she had even created a TAOS cheer for us to learn!

In addition to learning 2 cheers, we learned how to stand and speak terms unfamiliar to some of us such as “just call it.”

We really had a blast – Ashli claimed to never have cheered but was soon teaching the “Victory” move to the hopeless member. Kristin was nominated TAOS Captain because she seemed to bounce right back into her highschool cheerleading days– complete with ponytails… and Summer deserves a big cheer herself for returning to her first post-baby activity with such spirit.

If our enthusiasm is not obvious to you in the video below, please know that we had it in our hearts…

After Christie left, we sat around Shana's kitchen table for some light dinner, drinks, and discussion. We LOVED our cheerleading session and hope to work with Christie again someday!!
