Spectrum's Cheer Camp has officially ended! For all spectrum's members, young or old (=P), it has been a very new experience for all of us. Instead of going to Thailand to undergo monster training by the Thai Cheerleaders, we organised the entire camp by ourselves and went through an entirely different training regime.

"Exposure" was the main focus of this camp, and indeed, both seniors and juniors alike have gained lots of exposure through trying out all the different stunts. It was tiring, but enjoyable nonetheless.

Well, let the pictures do the talking now:

Camp day 1: Most ppl in HAPPY spirits, just like cong yan =D

PT :(
but apparantly cy and gerard stil has energy to fool around. lol.

after the PT....poor Ah Liang is super tired...

"Contract For Core Power"

A powerful core means rock-solid stability – your secret weapon against sports injuries. Sure, crunches can carve abs, but a smart core-building programme includes a variety of exercises. Swiss-ball finger taps offer real-world benefits beyond a six-pack, says Mike Mejia, author of The Men’s Health Gym Bible.

THE BENEFIT
You’ll improve your abdominal strength, endurance and flexibility. “This promotes core stability while your limbs are in motion, which is the way you use your body during most sports activities,” says Mejia.

HOW TO DO IT
1. Lie on the floor, holding the ball between your lower legs.

2. Extend your arms straight up as you simultaneously raise your legs and upper body into a contracted position. (Your lower back should remain on the floor and your legs should be slightly bent.) Keep your upper body in this ‘up’ position for all of your repetitions as your legs move up and down.

3. At the top of the movement, tap the ball with your fingers. Aim for 3 sets of 8 to 10 reps.

OUR EXPERT’S TIPS
1. Warm up for the exercise by practising your movements without the Swiss ball.

2. Keep your lower back pressed to the floor to work your abdominals. If that’s too difficult, keep your knees bent at about 90 degrees each time you do the exercise until your strength and flexibility improve.

3. Change your upper body angle to boost your core strength throughout a wide range of motion.

CR's analysis:

Notice that the paradigm of cheerleading routines are changing. In the past, gymnastics and dance displays teams will move nicely in position before they execute. Nowadays ( USA included ) teams are starting to execute dance and cheer moves while moving. This keeps the routine dymanic constantly and you actually can save up to 4 counts of 8 in timing by adapting this new style.

Come competitions, 4 counts of 8 can be very crucial. This is especially true when you need to adhere to a 2min 30 second timeframe.

**On a seperate note, do take note that the stunt @ 1.03min ( single base extension on thigh stand) is illegal under IFC because it is considered a 3-man height pyramid.

"FCKeditor: the text for Internet"

Here comes the much anticipated post on Spectrum's fun day out at Sentosa Siloso beach! To prevent the seniors from complaining that we are neglecting the blog, I'm here to show you guys how happening we are. lol.

at sentosa, how can we not get a dip in the sea.

after splashing around in the waters, its time to play captain's ball - the cheerleaders style - on shouldersit! is ah fai going to shouldersit on ah liang???

nah just joking, its yin xue shouldersitting on ah liang. Team A consists of xue, liang, xian, jeanette and shuen min. by right should have one more member, but she betrayed her team.

Team B consists of Xiao rong shouldersitting on Ah fai, gerard, Beng and Cong yan. Plus the extra wen feng who betrayed her team. lol.

ermmm...i cant remember which team is Elisa and kaydee in. but they look happy by themselves =)

the game starts. here showing our vice-captain, jun hui, in action.

gerard in action

ah liang in action

captain wen feng, using eye power. (hmm just what is she looking at?)
WHAT THE HELL IS AH LIANG DOING?

when the game gets boring, it's pictures time!

gerard is obsessed with handstand. he attempt to handstand in water....
but failed. =P
Time for stunts!
xian and xiao rong

gerard and jeanette

too bored with the flyers, gerard decided to base the base.

beng and gerard - success!

cong yang and gerard - success!

here comes the heavy-weight, ah liang and gerard.
erm....seems like both need to work harder!
sick of liang, gerard decided to replace one liang with 2 flyers.
ta-da! double shoulderstand!
the girls are capable of basing too!
wen feng sholderstand on xiao rong, poor rong kena blocked by jun hui.

wen feng wanna be BASE? ehhh......
after stunts, its time to play with the sand!

cong yan is digging his own 'grave'.
and the girls started to bury him.

cong yan: "i think my da xiang too big and my neh not big enough."

the final product! our pretty cong yang with F-cup neh and da xiang.
the girls added a tummy for him, and eat his tou fu at the same time.
the rest of the bases concentrated on vball to prevent getting victimized by the flyers
Team A - gerard, beng, fai and shuen min.

Team B - liang, jun hui, xian and kaydee (not in picture).

uncle attempting to deal the opponent a power serve!

after a long, hot but fun day, time to wash up!

and not forgetting taking a group pic!

on the way to vivo for dinner!

watch out for more exiting and gross pics of gerard in the next post!
