The sooner you get blisters the better as you can then get past them to tough feet and not have to worry too much. When I returned in October I made sure I was getting as much wear on my soles as possible to get through that stage, took about three weeks.

The most important thing is to stay as focused as possible during the lesson. Pay as much attention to your teacher as you can, it's only a couple of hours so keep that concentration up. At first there's half a million things you are expecting to train your body to do which it has never done before. As time goes by these will become second nature and you will not have to worry about them but at first just try to relax and concentrate.
