    Yay you! I fell on a treadmill once too. Unfortunately it was backed up against a wall, so once I hit the wall, I just skidded around at the bottom until my friend hit the stop. Talk about nasty rug burns!

    Good for you!

    Today I was doing pullups with a resistance band. In the down position (when the band was really stretched) my foot slipped and the band snapped between my legs. It didn't hurt but I was crying from laughter. I figure everyone has their moment to look like a *kitten* in the gym! :D

    Yeah I gave up on multitasking like that. I also no longer trust treadmills. I use the indoor track when I need to run now lol

    lol! Good for you for getting back up to keep going! I am sure that that hurt :p

    I go to a small gym and the smith machine, and the squat rack are about 2 feet apart. This means that with the barbells on the there is about 2 inches in between and you have to duck arounf the barbels to get weights. i had misjudged the space I had a clocked myself in the head hard enough I needed a minute to recouperate :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :blushing: :blushing:

    **** happens, that is for SURE!!

    Good luck to everyone in your continued fitness goals!!!

    I haven't fallen off the treadmill (yet... really it's just a matter of time) but I've managed to fall off just about everything else in the gym. My trainer is so used to it he doesn't even ask me if I'm okay anymore when I go down. I'm kind of a pro at falling.

    Aww, I was jogging on the treadmill with my best friend at the gym and she went to have a sip of water and accidently stood on the side and nearly fell off, she recovered just in time but we were both laughing uncontrollably and unable to press stop.. so there we were jogging and laughing at the same time, unable to breath or stop the treadmill.. its making me giggle again just thinking 'bout it.
