It's hard out there for a Miami Dolphins cheerleader. You've gotta work out all the time and diet to stay thin and attractive. You've gotta put up with the pervy stares of beer-swilling football fans. And you've gotta put on a good show of excitement and optimism about, well, the Dolphins. The job, it ain't easy.

It's fair to say the ladies deserve a break. And that's exactly what they got last week when they traveled to the Barcelo Bavaro Beach Resort in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, for their 2013 calendar photo shoot. The cheerleaders will be returning home tomorrow, and the calendar images will be revealed in August. But in the meantime, you beer-swilling football fans can perv out on these behind-the-scenes photos.
