Answer 1

If you are still hurting you may have torn something a bit. Take is a easy for a while and warm up more before you go into those bridges.

Answer 2

I was a cheerleader in school to! :)

The way you stretch your stomach is:
Lay on the floor, laying face down and on your stomach.
Inhale and lift up your face and shoulders off the floor.
Hold the stretch for like 3 counts then, lower down and repeat
for 5 times.

that's a good stretch that should make it better.
Hope it gets better soon, and remember to stretch before and after practice! :)

Answer 3

before u do them...make sure to do a bridge, and u could ice ur stomach, and that might make ur stomach feel better.
