Black_cat wants to work out more and needs people to motivate her

[black_cat]

For the new year, I want to work out more and more consistently. I'm not trying to lose weight, just get stronger. I think I might get distracted and lose focus, which is why I'm making a thread. I think it'll keep me on track.

Currently, I have four dance classes a week. One always has a big workout, usually consisting of crunches, situps, push ups, one legged pushups (with the other leg turned out in passe) planks, and a lot of other core exercises that I don't know the name of. The another will do more jumping jacks, burpees, dynamic exercises like that. The other two are more stretching and core strength, but don't have much of a workout that's not already built into the dancing.
I'd like to build two workouts and two runs every week into my schedule to start with, but I'm not sure what to put in my workout or how far to run.

Separately, I'd like to do that thing where every day of the year, you do one more pushup than the da y before. So today i do one pushup, tomorrow I do two, etc. That way when you're doing a lot, you've built up the strength.

I’ll support you!
I have never been one for working out...I’m not overweight or anything, but I would also prefer to be stronger.
Maybe I can follow along with some of these.
But if I give up, I’ll still cheer you on!

I love this! Especially that you’re not driven by weight loss, but by strength . You sound like you’re doing great. I would maybe add some ankle and wrist weight straps to wear while doing daily chores. Increase the weight each month.

I'd like to get some hand weights as well. Doing chicken chores with ankle weights is a good idea
Unfortunately I'm a broke minor that can't really earn too much money in quarantine, but my birthday is coming up, so I'll try to drop hints about weights.

I'd love it if you'd follow along!!! This summer I tried to work out every day.....I did ok for a while, then lost it when school started.

I'd like to primarily focus on core strength to help with my dancing, but arm and leg strength as well. I'd like to slowly increase my plank time.

One reason I would like to be stronger is to hold onto Vanilla when she goes KABOOM in my arms.
She is all muscle and big wings, so it’s like trying to hold back an airplane while it’s taking off....
