Don't be lazy, and if you must be lazy be smart about it. Animation is time consuming, and if you're not willing to put forth the effort to do it right it's going to look very bad, in which point there was no point in even trying.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyframe
Practice keyframes. Animation isn't all about how many frames you have, it's about the frames you do have mattering. You can make a good punch animation with just two frames, but what those two frames contain is what will make or break your animation. After that, adding frames will only make the animation smoother.

Not important, but this, or a variation of, can really help. I usually have the last frame visible behind the frame I'm working on so I can actually tell what I should work on changing, otherwise it's like drawing in the dark.

Animation is an old skill, one that teaches the same thing across mediums. If you want proper guidance you can surely find great source materials online.

I wanna learn how to animate but it seems dam too hard. I'd rather have a personal trainer. I can't learn from videos or any sort.
