Health & Fitness Info Fitness and proper nutrition are critical to practicing and performing like champions No size or weight requirements, but being healthy, strong, and physically fit is required It is expected that each squad member will initiate or maintain a strength and conditioning program at home including running, lifting (with weights or your own body weight), and flexibility exercises Practices will be difficult & physically demanding. You have to be able to hold your own bodyweight (i.e. pushups) before I can trust you to hold another girl’s bodyweight!
