Title: Warning! Exercise is dangerous! Post by Jeannie on Jun 19th, 2009 at 11:52am
I head to the gym yesterday evening to run on the treadmill. It's really busy. At 7:30pm the temp was still in the 90's so no one wanted to run outside, I guess. I find an empty machine, sign up and hop on.
My thighs are a little thick ( this is why I'm at the gym) so as I'm running, my shorts ride up a bit. I reach down to adjust them and manage to misstep causing me to fall flat on my back! There I am staring at the ceiling feeling the tread just spinning away under me. After a few seconds, the tread catches my full weight causing me to go shooting off the treadmill, like a bullet, across the gym! Talk about embarrassing!!!! I AM a bit lighter though, as I am now missing some of the skin on my elbows! I picked myself up, got back on and finished my run. As I left I made sure to avoid eye contact with ANYONE. I think I'll have to find a new gym! ;) Jeannie BTW... It's okay if you laughed! ;D |

Never do any exercise that doesn't take you somewhere.

Well - I guess it could've been worse.

I'm glad it didn't rip the shorts off your torso and THEN shoot you across the gym.
Now THAT would have been embarrassing. . . . . ;) |

This is the reason I don't go to a gym. I'd humiliate myself each time I walked through the door.

Oh Jeannie... That sounds awful but quite funny!!
On the plus side, it would have raised your heartrate a little bit more than the norm and maybe burned an extra few calories as opposed to just running on the machine. ;D |

Ok, let me get this straight ... you fell and went shooting off the end of a treadmill in a crowded gym and
Am I missing something? Yes, I'd find another Gym... -Dennis- |

One very nice gentleman came over to see if I was alright. The woman on the treadmill next to me moved! I think I scared her!
I was actually glad that more people didn't come over it.... It would have embarrassed me even more, I think. I was a bit surprised that none of the staff came to check on me. Jeannie |
