You know, I see way too often people coming into the club with goals and the need to change for the better. The one thing that really bothers me is how hard people are on themselves, especially women. They see someone who has been in class for 3 years and they think that they should be able to do the same thing. And because they can't, they give up! Its a real shame.
Making a change, starting a new routine, takes time. You have to allow yourself to advance slowly. You should never expect to walk into a new class on your first day and be able to out-do everyone. Seriously. The only thing that matters is that you did your best. Everyday, you do better then you did the day before. Accept that you are the only person you should be trying to out-do.
That really is the number one way to make a steady progress in your training. Take your time, do it right and keep at it. Don't look at the person next to you who has been doing it for way longer then you, and think that you should be at the same point. That person worked a lot longer but started off just like you.
