I'm in my high school's color guard. (If you don't know what that is, I'm the people in marching bands who throw the flags, "guns", and "swords" in the air) Although it may not seem like it, dancing and tossing these things build up quite a lot of muscle and it has honestly given me mixed emotions. I'm only in the 8th grade and the fact that I'm more muscular than the majority of the boys in my grade sometimes makes me self conscious. But, at the same time it's super empowering to know that all these guys' noodles are lame compared to my "ripped" arms😂 However, this isn't about that. This is about the fact that women think that there are very few ways to gain muscle and let me tell you there are A LOT. Dancing and tossing my equipment are my personal favorites and I recommend it to everyone! Try something new! I feel that my passion isn't widely recognized and if my community gets bigger it would be so great!
