OK - What is your funniest workout story?

mine just happened last saturday. i set out for my run. music water the whole nine yards. being in Vermont, a whole batch of bugs have just hatched. i HATE flying bugs. especially when im running. i look like im having a seizuure as im swatting the damn things away from me. i happened upon a turtle. not a big turtle, but one that needed to be saved from his untimly death of either a car or the horses right across the street from where he was. so i picked up the turtle and started running with it. mind you i am still a half mile away from where the water is that i plan to let him go in. his head comes out of the shell and he starts to try to bite me!! little frikker!! im trying to save him. then if that wasnt bad enough, he starts hissing at me. im telling him to calm down and shut up and all the sudden the lil brat pees all over me. so here i am running down the road. imagin if you can a full grown 5 8inch woman running down the road swatting horseflies and mosquitos the size of planes and carrying a hissing and pissing turtle!!:laugh: i finally got him down to the water, he looked back at me is if to say " thanks *****" and went into the water. a passerby stopped and said i had done my good deed for the day. if he only knew!!

Mine happened yesterday. I thought I was fully alone on the path I was walking on so I was dancing/walking to my music and a really full beat song came on. I started dancing like crazy as I walked and did a little spin and just my luck there was the guy right behind me. He smiled and took off jogging past me and I just walked slowly trying to keep myself from dancing. Hopefully I don't seem him again today when I go for my walk lol

pahahahahahaha thses stories area all awsome!

i was on the cross trainer, got tired of holding the handles and decided just to try with my hands by my sides or like in a jog position,
i went to change a song on my ipod and because i changed my focus i guess i lost balance and wasnt able to grab the handles back in time........so yeah, basically fell of windmill style. NOT my finest moment and everyone saw. i walked hed down in shame out of there.

I love these...peeing turtle is my fav so far! Lol...what a fun thread!

So my story has to be when I first downloaded Endomondo on my phone...(fitness tracker...speed n distance n all that)...and it works off GPS...so I go outside and sit on the deck checking it out. I get a little hot so I decide it would be a good day to go on the treadmill instead of bake in the sun. I step on the treadmill...turn on my tracker...do my 30 minutes...get off and check my results.

It says I went NOWHERE!?! Shook my phone. Pretty sure it's broke...

Duh...I really didn't go anywhere...according to GPS. LOL...and no I'm not even blonde.

Mine was several years back when I was walking on a 2 mile walking track along the Tennessee River. It was mid day and a lot of elderly people were also walking. Well I had this older couple ahead of me and I was pushing it really hard. I wasn't trying to pass them but the old lady kept looking over her shoulder and then I noticed after I came thru a group of trees they had actually been running to stay ahead of me. So game on. .. I was set to beat these old geezers even if it meant they broke a hip trying to stay ahead. When they couldn't see me I would run too. We were like kids fighting over who is gonna win.
Like I said it was a two mile track so we stayed close for more than a mile then just when I was willing to cut through the woods and be ahead of them. .. I called a friend of mine on the cell phone and told them about this old couple. We came up with several plans for me to pass them like cutting thru the woods and then slowing down so they could catch up and try to firgure out how I got ahead. Then I thought I am letting two 80+ yr old drive me crazy. I continued my pace and at the bridge they left the track but not without the old broad giving me a look like "We won!" So I finished my 4 mile walk that day and let them feel great for beating a young whipper snapper.

LOL. They probably were finishing their 6th mile. It's always the older folks who show me up!

I actually had the same thing happen to me one day when I was walking the dogs at the park. I walk them at 4 mph, so I usually pass all the walkers as I am going along. I am walking 3 big dogs, so passing people can be tricky sometimes, waiting for a break from oncoming walkers, joggers and bikers and getting around when there isn't a jogger, biker coming from behind me. When I pass someone, I want it to be the only time I have to do it, I sure don't want to have to pass the same person over and over. One day there was a woman in front of me, I kept catching up to her and her little dog. The little dog kept looking behind him because I have three big dogs so he was a bit worried. What most dog walkers do is pull their dog to the side (to save them from having to drag their own dog along every 10 steps when they look back at my dogs). Not this lady. She was determined that she was going to outpace me. So I would catch up to her, then she's look over her shoulder at me and start running until she was about 20 feet in front of me. Then she'd walk. No, she wasn't doing the C25K. She would only run when I got close. Finally she decided that she wasn't walking as fast as me and she must have been tired of running, so she moved to the side so I could pass. It was really amusing to me while it was going on!

Today some guy jogging in the opposite direction said hello to me and promptly farted really loudly. He passed me again later and I wondered if he had even realized that he had farted earlier. LOL

I was doing a new yoga program, and my nine-year-old daughter happened to be camped in the living room, so I told her no matter what, if I fell over, she wasn't allowed to laugh at me. And I did, and she didn't laugh, and it was awesome.

So the next time I pulled out that same dvd, she looks at me and says "Mom? Can I laugh this time?"

Aw, why not. I laughed too when I fell over that time.

I:embarassed: will make it short and simple, at the end of a long walk very hot and tired, Crossing a major intersection some guy pulls into right lane to make a right on red and i was walking there he yells "Fat *kitten* get out of my way" being in a ornery mood yelled back "Wanna see a fat *kitten* " as i proceeded to moon him.

ahahahah!!!

When I started dating my boyfriend, we went to workout together. I didn't know much about working out with free weights although I had been to the gym alot. He suggested I try doing some lunges with the bar....well I have ALWAYS sucked at lunges but I figured I should try. Well, I got into the second one, squeaked, tipped over, and had to sit there with the bar still in lunge position until he came from a few machines away to rescue me. Everyone was staring....:embarassed:

I also tripped running once on flat sidewalk. Fell and scraped my face and hands...try explaining that to people: "What happened?"
"I tripped running..."
"On what?"
"Uh, my feet?"
:noway:

I was walking in the early morning hours with a friend and we were in her fairly new subdivision where several houses were in the process of being built. Turning the corner and heading very slowly toward us came a white van that was literally just creeping along. We kept walking and on the next street realized the van had joined us again. We started to get kind of freaked out, and cut across an empty lot to get to the next street over, when, sure enough, here came the slow moving van again. We were both on the edge of screaming for help when we realized it was the newspaper man, trying to find his way through a new route. Hah!

My funniest one is really my Grandmas. When my sister and I were teenagers, our Grandma took us to the Roller skating rink and taught us to roller skate. SHe was doing this for exercise, and they had a small fitness room there too, so we went there after skating and Grandma was doing sit-ups -- until she let go a very loud fart. We all got the giggles after that, and no more exercising that day...

The funniest gym story I know of happened to two of my co-workers at our work gym. One guy was running along on the treadmill, when a stray balance ball somehow got loose from someone and got wedged in the back/track of the working treadmill, stopping it instantly. The treadmill running guy fell flat, due to the belt stopping without warning. So another co-worker, probably the one who lost the balance ball to begiing with, thought he'd help out the treadmill guy. He walked up and kicked the ball out from being stuck in treadmill track. The treadmill started back up at the original speed and the poor treadmill who's laying flat on the track was sent flying off the back of the treadmill. Ha, ha!
