One of the biggest dangers of being a beginner is not "knowing the enemy", in other words, knowing what kind of aches and pains you can expect. If you are aware of these things ahead of time, you will not get so traumatized when they happen! I wrote a blog on some of the common problems that beginners face, and some creative solutions for them, enjoy, and never ever give up!
