London, Aug 10 : Actress Ashley Tisdale is taking cheerleading lessons from her mother Lisa for her new television series "Wildcats".

"I was never a cheerleader but luckily my mom was and she's been giving me some great tips. It's hard, but I'm really enjoying it and it's a great way to keep fit. In fact, I've never been so fit!" femalefirst. co. uk quoted her as saying.

The 25-year-old "High School Musical" star has previously admitted her mother is the biggest influence in her life.

"My mom is very confident and she was always a role model of mine. I never really looked up to celebrities when I was young. I definitely work hard at stuff. I never give up on things. If I'm going to do something, I'm going to go a hundred per cent into it - just like my mom." (IANS)
