Default Beginner casting question..

Hello,
I'm new to fly fishing and have been practicing my overhead casting
out on the lawn. After about 15-20 minutes my forearm is really sore.
Is this a sign of someone trying to hard? ha! I've studied casting
videos and it looks so effortless, I'm assuming that's how if feels. I
think It might be my back cast I get to concerned with getting the
line flying behind me fast enough and stopping hard . I'm casting a
9ft 5/6wt. I guess what I'm saying is that I lack the "grace" that is
apparent in good casters. But my arms is killing me trying to acheive
it! Just looking for some tips and advice. Any appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian
