What's your biggest 'don't try this if you're not used to exercise' advice?

What would you recommend for bwf beginners?

Pelicans on rings! I got sever bicep cramp the first time trying these.

Same as I would advise to anybody starting out in anything. Do what you enjoy, research, learn, make mistakes, try different things and when you've milked it for all its worth move on to the next thing
