I was like you when I started. The days afterwards were very, very bad. Very, very sore.

It wasn't my trainer - it was me. My body wasn't used to exercising like that. It took me about a fortnight and then it stopped being so sore afterwards.

However it was worth it. My fitness improved out of sight, I was so much stronger and had so much more energy.

My trainer always said there is a difference between soreness and pain. Sharp pain (except for a stitch) means something is wrong. Soreness just means your body is working hard.

I know it sucks now - try and stick with it.
