• Answer:

  FLEXIBILITY: stretch A LOT!!!!!!!! straddle and go to the middle left and right, butterfly, hold your splits (as far as you can) holding it helps a lot!!!!!!!!! JUMPS: stretching helps a ton. i can't do herkies either, so idk what to say. for toe touches and hurdlers, to get them higher do leg lifts. Sit in a straddle and put one hand on either side of your leg and lift your leg, then do the other side, and for both legs put both hands in front, STRENGTH: crunches, push ups, planks, side planks, hollow holds (put hands under your back and lift shoulders and legs), stretching helps with this too. TUMBLING: strength and flexibility help, do a ton of handstands, take a tumbling class, it'll really help.
