I thought it might be a fun thread. So I'll start. I was finishing up an hour long run on the treadmill and wondered why people walking past the glass where you could look into the gym were staring at me. My right boob had come out of my bra top.
The other time was when I cut a long run intended to be 15 miles short at only 9---I had diarrhea and had to go past a crows of people (I was running g around a golf course) to walk home (didn't drive there). Omg.

    I'd lost my gym ipod armband , I had a treadmill part of my workout to do I decided to try putting my ipod in my pocket and run. I was okay at a average speed until I started running fast my ipod flew down the treadmill belt to just in front of where my treadmill was. I kept running for a while until I finished that high part. A guy handed it to me. It was just awkward needless to say I made sure to always run with a ipod gym armband holder ever since.

    In the cardio room at the gym, where I go everyday I always kick my own butt and I am the sweatiest person there. Other than the thought "why the hell do I sweat like this" in my head I am always stared at by a bunch of the other gym goers. Although its embarrassing I like to think it just means I work especially hard.

    Recently I was in the gym. Going thru the various pieces of equipment, when I notice I was getting strange looks from different people. This went on for over an hr. Finally, a sweet young thing came up to me and whispered in my ear. Sir...you have a bubble gum wrapper stuck to your forehead.

    I slowly slung out the back door.

    I was wearing cargo shorts because that's all I had clean. I've worked out in them before, but this time I was doing a lot of squats. About 2/3 of they way through I split the seat of my pants. I finished the workout with my back to the wall and left.

    I bought lots of gym shorts since then.

    I totally dribbled pee on the floor today... first heavy squat of the day- apparently I just didn't have the grip I thought I did on my insides.

    pretty epic. and awful.

    Thankfully the only other two people in the gym didn't witness this awesome venture.

    Was not a good start to my lifts.

    I was so in the zone on the elliptical that I was singing along with my Disney and broadway playlist out loud without realizing it.

    Somehow this is my favorite post so far, because I recognize you from around the forum.

    Fun thread!

    I'm surprised I can't think of anything too embarrassing myself....just the few times I've dropped my phone/iPod and started falling all over myself on the elliptical/treadmill trying to get it, lol.

    Tons of people pee/poop/puke on themselves at meets/strongman shows. At least no one was looking at you :flowerforyou:

    My 13-year old son and I take a boxing class together with the college boxing team at UC Davis. Recently, my son couldn't find the garment that he puts his groin protector or 'cup' into. So...he improvised. He sandwiched his cup between two pairs of underwear. Of course, mid-way through the warm ups it came loose dropped down the leg of his shorts and went skittering across the floor. One college girl's eyes just about popped from her head and one young man quipped, "Really?" The room, which was previously noisy with the sound of boxing had grown dead quiet. My son looked at me rather sheepishly. I nodded at him encouragingly and said, "You'd better deal with that, son." And then I tried not to crack up.

    I can relate to this (after two kids) and am really impressed that you've stuck with lifting and look amazing. There are various exercises I shy away from because I end up with the same result as you - ie star jumps, skipping, snatch & clean.

    I don't have many as I workout at home....but...

    Last Wednesday...I was doing Deadlifts at a new high weight...and the last one was a tad harder than I expected...

    The sound that came out of me scared the cats...and my husband from 2 rooms aways said to my son..."I think you have a new brother/sister"....:laugh:

    Almost felt like it too...

    And of course there is the nasty neighbour lady who watches me from her driveway when I am lifting through the window...I can just imagine what she thinks...good thing I don't give a flying blah about her.

    I've hit myself in the face doing the medicine ball rebounder at my planet fitness =/

    Tried doing stability ball exercises and ended up rolling around on the floor with it like a panda

    Was really into something I was watching on netflix while using the elliptical and just absentmindedly released a fart, that was probably as loud as it felt but i had headphones in

    I've tumbled off the elliptical twice in my life because i tried working out when i knew i was getting sick and was too fatigued to stay on the machine

    And last but not least....the freakin precor stretch trainer machine. Wtf is it, what does it do? I have no idea. Last time I tried to use it after watching someone else my legs got all entangled and I went down like a pile of bricks LOL.

    Life lesson no 357:
    Never go to yoga in ancient leggings with worn crotch seams.

    Life lesson no 358:
    If you do decide to go to yoga in ancient leggings with worn crotch seams, at least ensure that your knickers are a matching colour ready for when said crotch seams split.

    Hi

    I have just been diagnosed as lactose and soya intolerant, so my diet is going through some major adjustments at the moment (I love dairy produce, always have and always will) and unfortunately these adjustments are creating some father fragrant side effects.....

    Cue the embarrassing exercise moment.... I was on the cross trainer listening to my headphones and suddenly my backside decided all this jiggling about was causing a build up of gas that had to be released there and then.... OMG if people didn't hear it, they sure as hell must have smelt it....

    xXx

    I was using a very large gym ball yesterday to do ab exercises at the gym and when it came to getting off the thing (which is a lot larger than the one I have at home), I went flying and almost knocked over a whole stack of dumbbells!

    Laughed it off to the people watching but I was embarrassed!

    On the day I went to try out for the university equestrian team, I'd forgotten my riding trousers and was wearing a skirt, so I changed into the old leather trousers I had in the back of the car (useful for walking, as windproof). I figured they'd be extra grippy. Unfortunately, they were just slightly too tight to let me lift my leg high enough to mount up, so I undid the button. And then the horse I got assigned was so fidgety I didn't get to do it up again, and, frankly, forgot about it.

    Until it was time to jump. Over the fence, I went into jumping position (standing up in the stirrups and leaning forward with your bum lifting out of the saddle, essentially) but my trousers didn't. They stayed stuck to the saddle and I rose out of them.

    I made the team anyway. They said if I could jump like that, I could jump under any kind of pressure. :laugh:

    I missed the Christmas tree rack putting the curl bar back on it. Luckily it missed my foot by inches, but made enough noise that everyone in the gym stopped talking and looked at me. I waved to them.

    I dropped a (loaded) bar on my head during bench once. Here's the bruise a couple of days later.

    My second most embarrassing moment was. to at the gym. But here.

    Someone posted a photo of a woman lifting (I think it may have been Christmas Abbot), and there were a lot of "ewww muscles. Gross." comments.

    So I posted the following image (of me) with the comment "this is what she'd look like with a higher percentage of body fat.

    One lady told me off for making fun of fat people at the gym, then another said "it's people like you that make people like me (and her) stop going to the gym".

    A lot of these are pretty funny and make me feel better about my embarrassing moment.
    I was playing basketball with some guys at the gym and during the whole game I could only make one shot.
    On top of that, when I went to wash up in the locker rooms, I noticed that my butt had a sweat stain right down the line of my buttcrack!

    I was working my way back from a groin injury and it felt ready to heavy lifts again. I set up the leg press with 500 pounds I got it down then up second rep I went a little past the point of no return and got rolled up on. It is a good thing I am fairly flexible. I couldn't stop laughing even as people were asking if I was ok.
