Luckily i haven't done anything as...noticeable so far. Best I've managed to do it punch myself in the face while doing bicep curls. Heave! Yeah, lets see that bicep! HEAVE!!! OWWW!! MY FACE! I guess i moved my head too far foward, combined with not concentrating....

oh my gosh, this thread just cheered me immensely. so I guess it's my turn!

I am "living the remote life" so no gym, but plenty of other opportunities to make an *kitten* of myself.

I was co-instructing a yoga class on twists, and being the example as 20+ students stood around. I got into a nice deep twist and my old broken rib decided to tweak on me, causing an extremely painful muscle spasm in my ribs. There I am, like a pretzel, the other instructor telling everyone about form and placement in her very soothing voice, and I had to do this little squeaky mumble thing, "help! can't move! stuck!" the other instructor them carefully extracts me from the twist with me whining like a sissy-girl the whole time. needless to say the students weren't all that excited about the pose. after I got my breath back I said something along the lines of, "and this illustrates why self-awareness is so important. you must know your limitations and never go too far..." as I had tears running down my cheeks.

I once decided to illustrate the old squat-thrusts we used to have to do in HS to a bunch of kids and my jeans ripped from belt line to knee, exposing my giant white butt to the whole village park. that was awesome. I sort of backed into the bar nearby (where I work) snuck back to the kitchen and used a stapler for a temporary mend.

my favorite which was embarrassing at the time, now just makes me laugh. I was out running on a path through the woods early in the morning with my headphones on and the endorphins were working overtime. I was buzzing and grooving so when a song came on that has great energy but is really kind of stupid lyrically and teen-girl poppy (you know the type) I stopped running and started to dance like a total spaz while singing along at the top of my lungs with my eyes closed. oh yeah. I was having a moment. After probably a good two minutes - most of the song - I opened my eyes to find one of my neighbors standing RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME in his running clothes, watching me and grinning from ear to ear. I quickly removed the earbuds and stammered something and he said, "don't mind me! I just didn't take you for the Avril Lavine type!"

later on in the day a picture of the moment appeared on facebook. of course. damn camera phones!

i tripped and fell on a treadmill, sprinting, and hit it, and it immediately shot me off the back into the wall.....................

I'm sorry, this must have been horrible but, I totally laughed out loud. Caught me off-guard. Hope you weren't hurt.

I had the walking farts on the treadmill once the guy next to me got off his machine and left really fast..lol:embarassed:

~I was done with my workout and talking to a few people who had been in the class after. Someone said something funny and we all laughed...and I farted. But it wasn't just a fart it was incredibly loud and my fart "laughed" with me. Everyone heard it and we couldn't help it because it sounded so much like a laugh...we laughed at it...which caused me to fart laugh again...and again...and again. By the time my body decided to stop being a side show attraction we had all laughed ourselves into tears.

HAHAHAHAHA this made my day! I'm sorry xx

I lift free weigths three times a week, every time I lift and I mean evey flippin time I get nip ons.....I try to will them down, but nothing I say to the girls will make them not stand at attention. So yep every time I am lifting in the boy area of the gym I have nip ons.....I thought I was going to die once when they were not even, I had to run to the locker room just to straighten the girls out so now I make sure I am even before I venture to the weights...UGH...the things I put up with to get into this shape thing I am longing for....I am the nip on girl at the gym yep...good times

Two words: Band Aids (if you're that bothered by it.

Nah I was at first, horribly, now I have kind of embraced it...lol.

I got some new bluetooth headphones for my iphone - so I can listen to music with out getting all tangled up in the cord.
The first day I was using them, on the treadmill for a warmup - gym is full, I forgot to turn the bluetooth on. I thought the sound quality wasnt that good, so I amped up the volume on my phone, only to realise after I was the *kitten* listening to music playing directly from my iphone on the treadmill - shame!

My most embarrassing moment was in the locker room after my workout. I headed for the showers and was totally not thinking and pushed open the shower curtain to one of the shower stalls. Well, there was a reason the curtain was closed (DUH!!!) I'm not sure who was more surprised - me or the poor woman facing me, buck naked, holding a towel and reaching behind herself to dry off her *kitten* crack. Oh, and my gym is at WORK!

i tried to bench too much and couldnt get the bar back up

Is that what happened to the dog in your picture?

I had just started weight lifting and was still really insecure in the weight room - it was me and about 5 guys. I went over to the chest press bench and piled it up with what I thought was my poundage (80lbs at the time) and very confidently, laid down and went to work - I actually lifted it okay but then brought it down and literally could not move it an inch off my chest. I had to roll it down my body (painful) and then sit up and try to lift it back up to the bar rack. I realized after that I had loaded the bar with my typical squat press amount....which is about a 40 lbs difference. Schmuck.

I love the other guy in this video. How he just sits there watching his friend get owned by the treadmill and doesn't even offer him a hand up lol.

Yay... another excuse I can use for not going to the gym... LOL
I'm laughing so hard I think my abs just got a workout equal to 200 crunches:laugh:

Here are the three I've done recently while working w/ my personal trainer:

1. I was swinging a weight at my side as part of a cardio circuit. Mid-rep, my trainer told me to bend my legs so I did. When I bent my legs, I inadvertently shifted so that my leg was in the way of the weight. I hit myself in the knee with the weight and fell backwards. I wasn't hurt. As soon as my trainer knew I wasn't hurt, he laughed really hard.

2. I was finished doing chest presses. My trainer was re-racking the weights. Instead of lifting the bar to get out from under it, I wriggled myself under the bar to get out. I realized how dumb it was after I did it and started laughing.

3. One of the first times I was working out with my trainer, I accidentally dropped the weights on the Smith before I had even started lifting.
