Makes sense. If it hurts, slow down a little. Initially you’re training your muscles to move correctly and efficiently: pace can come later. Have fun out there x

Are you doing the warm up/cool down stretches recommended in the How to post, as they really help with the aches and pains. Enjoy your class 👍😁
