Question about injuries
I started taking heels dance classes at the beginning of September, and then I took up ballet too because I felt it would help me improve my posture and build up the core muscles I need for heels dancing. I now have two ballet and one heels class a week, and I really enjoy them.
I usually feel sore the morning after class, but by the next class, I'm usually fully recovered. It gives me a lot of joy and I usually can't wait for the next class.
I'm in my mid-30s, and I thought I could do some core workouts on YouTube on the days I don't have classes. I was also thinking about doing some stretching before bed, so I asked ChatGPT for advice on what to search for on YouTube. I also told it my age, height, and weight (164 cm, 52 kg), and it told me that I shouldn't do any more workouts because I already have three classes a week, and I risk injury as I'm older and could overstretch myself. D:
Is that true?
I haven't done any sports before, but I don't have a car – I walk and cycle everywhere. I don't have any back pain, just poor posture.
What should I do now?
Also, btw, how do people usually get injured? What should I be careful about?
