Warning! Exercise is dangerous!
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!  Wink

BTW... It's okay if you laughed! Grin

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

Well - I guess it could've been worse.  

Cheesy

Glad you have a sense of humor, at least you're excercising and that's good!

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. . . . . Wink

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.  Grin

Ok, let me get this straight ... you fell and went shooting off the end of a treadmill in a crowded gym and

NOT ONE PERSON CAME OVER TO SEE IF YOU WERE OK?????

Am I missing something?

Yes, I'd find another Gym...

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.
