Embarassing Moments at the gym.

This is awesome!
LOL!
Sorry - I'm perfect - I have nothing to make you feel better.
Kidding - This is one of the reasons why I avoid those silly machines - I'd kill myself.
That - and I am really glad that there are no video cameras in my basement where I work out cuz I'm sure when I do Tae Bo or any other DVD I would make Funnies Home Videos!
We all have our moments - just brush it off.

LastFighter, Id not worry about falling. Ive seen my share of people who have fallen, even helped one poor lady, who was about 80 or so, really older woman, but I was really worried about her and made sure she didnt hurt herself

I think most people worry that people who fall need help,or want to assist. I guess, since everyone's in it together, we can all sympathize

I guess the most embarrassing thing for me was my frame of mind , when I first started the gym. I was 341, and really embarrassed to attempt to work out, so I started on the tread mill. Not knowing how to work out with some of the equipment was kinda embarrassing, but everyone helped me in the beginning, so hopefully, no more embarrassing moments for me, other than dropping my MP3 Player in the tread mill and having to ask for help to get it out from the belt......Good luck, Lloyd

I only had one embarassing moment at the gym, but I started laughing so hard I forgot about everyone around me. I was actually working out with a personal trainer. She had me resistance training on one of those machines that look like a bowflex. So she had me sitting on one of those medicine balls and I had to hold the weights and basically do crunches. Well toward the end of the rep she decided to have me old the crunch. Yeah that went well....I couldn't hold the weight anymore my arms went flying back and the weights pulled me backward and I landed flat on my back. It startled me at first because I was like "What the heck just happened". The trainer came running over, but my then I was laughing my *kitten* off!!

How about embarassing moments in general? I was playing slo-pitch about 5 summers ago and was up to bat. When I hit and took off for first, I managed to undo the top four or so snaps of my tear away pants. By the time I reached first base, my pants had puddled nicely around my ankles. As I stood there, pulling my shirt down, a teammate yelled from the dugout, "Pull up your pants!" To which I had to reply, "I can't bend over. I'm wearing a thong!" Another teammate had to come pull up my pants for me. Good times...good times.

I think its important to be able to laugh at yourself. Besides, the important thing isn't that you fell..its that you were working out! Keep up the good job!

Not at the gym. But I biked right into a 4 foot tall 4 foot wide Orange road block thing in front of about 100 tourists at the Santa Monica Pier. Totally embarrassing. WTH.

I can't think of anything that's happened to me personally (I tend to block those things out!), but I've heard more than one falling off the treadmill story.

You are not alone!

I'm at the gym and I see this lil stocky cocky kid wandering around with his lil chest all puffed out. I'm doing cable crossovers for my back and mid my rest between reps he walks over and starts to move the height adjust now mind you this kid was watching me use this machine. So me being the **** I am I walk up and am like dude I'm not done. He gives me this look, I precede to set the machine back and go along with my workout. He makes some comment and walks off. I start doing my crossovers and on my last rep the two clips on the handlea touch together and clip together. I had to hold one cable with my hand and try to undo the clips with my other without letting the cable go flying once I unhook them and allow the plates to smash together.


I did it. Lucky for me the twerp wasn't paying attention.....:)
