Today, I went onto the treadmill at my gym. When it prompted me to enter my age I put 27. I'm 29 and am lying about my age to a workout machine. FML

Fitness is overrated

Today, I went to the gym for the first time in months. As I was on the treadmill, I accidentally hit the emergency stop button. In my attempt to play it cool, I tried to pretend it was intentional and yelled, "I've reached my fitness goal for the day!" FML

Today, I was trying to work out, and couldn't even complete an exercise regime meant for 50-year-olds. I'm 24. FML

Today, I was doing my usual routine at the gym which consists of working out on the treadmills right in front of my ex boyfriend to make him feel bad. Whilst doing this, I tried to be cool and do that thing where as the treadmill slows down you turn around and just walk off the end. I fell. FML

Today, I picked the treadmill next to an old man so I could feel better about myself. He ran faster and longer than I did. FML

Today, I was working out in the gym when a fitness trainer came up to me and said it wasn't safe to be exercising while this far along in a pregnancy. I was too ashamed to tell them that I'm not pregnant, so I went along with it. Time to find a new gym. FML

Today, after the longest time, I went to the gym. I ran and ran and ran on the treadmill for an eternity, beating myself up for getting so overweight. Then I tripped and fell off, sweating and sobbing for being so useless. When I looked up, I saw I'd been on the machine for barely 2 minutes. FML

Today, I went to the gym to try to get into shape. While I was running on the treadmill, my beer belly pushed against the emergency stop button, twice. FML

Today, I went running. My girlfriend was so surprised at the fact that I'm exercising that she accused me of making it up so I could cheat on her. I'm just trying to get in shape. FML

It asks you your age so it knows what your normal workout level needs to be. Also, you're a completely pathetic person. Seriously? 29 is not old. Get some perspective on life.

I'm sorry but these FMLs crying for other people's pity shouldn't even get posted. "Today I ate a bunch of twinkies, then I weighted myself and realized I weight 200lbs, FML!!!!" You ******* deserve it if you chose to lie to a machine.

Dent91, I am still laughing at your post. I assume English is like a second language for you, in which case you did pretty well, but hahahaha! You said uterus instead of until! :D that just wins. Other stuff was funny too but that just made my day

Ok, I have to ask... why? At first I thought it might be some sort of treadmill that tells you how fit you are for your age depending on how hard you workout, but then I realised that if you were trying to 'cheat' it, you should put in an OLDER age, not younger. This doesn't even make sense, and it's NOT an FML. An FML is "crap, my life is screwed because xyz happened to me". It's not "I'm too much of a sook to put the right age into a piece of machinery, please feel sorry for me".

when i was like 19, i lied about my age when a cute guy was working out next to me.. i thought he might look over... and "130" sounded better than "140" to me. lol. sure it was silly, and i'm sure he wouldn't have cared either way... but oh well.. no harm, no foul. i usually just do the "quick start" and workout at the level i feel comfortable with now anyway. i know myself better than any pre-set options on a machine ever could.
