10. Being in Shape is Crucial
Surprise! Not really, those girls work really hard as cheerleaders and if you’re not in shape you probably won’t stay on the team for very long. Although the squad isn’t required to stay in shape, they are expected to be able to keep up, and the rigorous team cheers during the game are not for the faint of heart.
If a cheerleader is found not to be able to keep up with the other team members, she will be warned and then fired. It would be up to her to step up her game in order to keep up. You might be surprised to learn that a Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader can easily burn 3,700 calories per game.
That’s insane. There is not another workout that would burn those kinds of calories, so being in shape is crucial. Considering a number of calories the girls burn they must eat a lot in order to fuel their bodies.
