Is cheering a sport?
Now. Now. Now. As being a cheerleader and hearing this question obviously I am going to say yes, but to some people its not and I don't know why they don't think its a lot but we try just as much as football players and basketball people! We tumble, we flip, we stunt, we yell and so many other things!! Might not seem like we do things but we do! Sweating our butts off at practice, breaking things or factoring parts of your body, sore after every practice, conditioning 24/7 yeah... THAT'S A LOT! I could keep going on with this, but don't want to keep you on this question for long.
What is tumbling?
Tumbling is when the cheerleaders do their flips for example:

What are jumps?
Jumps are when you jump and hit a position in the air (like a toe-touch, a hurkey, or a pike) Example:

What is a full-out?
Is something a cheerleader loves or hates to do at practice. Their is no in between!! A full-out is when you do your routine without stopping till the end and act like your at competition!
Basically that picture explains how painful full-outs are!
How could something so easy... Look so hard?
Well, by having a lot of practice and having trust in everyone on the team can make you very successful! Practices are a big part of how cheerleaders transform from regular cheerleaders to all-stars, by practicing how to do all the things in a stunt, practicing tumbling, taking criticism, and learning to love the sport!
