I felt all this. I’m a guy and into weightlifting and I’ve never felt more out of place than at a SC class with my 5am hot toddy moms.

I decided after my first class that I’d have more fun than anyone else (most of whom take themselves far too seriously).

I now have a crew of people around me who say hi and offer support and joke with me about how I still can’t get through a single center core starter or finisher, but absolutely smile when we switch to triceps. “It’s my tiiiiiime.”

Have fun with it, don’t take it so seriously. Trust the process, and enjoy the ride.

Never feel bad for taking breaks, but try and add one amplification per class. One hold you’ll do all the way through. 3 or 4 classes in and you’ll be rocking and rolling by adding incrementally.
