Today, I was on a rowing machine at the gym, listening to a podcast. Something funny was said, I laughed, lost my balance and fell off, with my feet still stuck in the footrests. Someone had to come and help me off. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, I was at the gym trying out the rowing machine. On my first pull, I leaned too far back, lost my balance, and launched myself straight off the seat. I landed on the mat behind me while people around me pretended not to laugh. FML
Today, while on the treadmill, my iPod fell and shot out underneath my feet. I got off to get it, and when I tried to get back on, I slipped and fell on my face on the moving track. The whole gym watched me get beat up by a treadmill and clapped when I finally got back on. FML
Today, I was at the gym and I tripped on the treadmill. Not only did I fall off the machine, I also managed to knock over two other people's water bottles and send them flying across the room. FML
Today, I was doing squats at the gym. I caught my reflection in the mirror, got distracted by how awkward I looked, and lost my balance. I fell backward onto a medicine ball, rolled into another person’s legs, and took them down with me. We ended up in a sweaty heap. FML
Today, I tried a new workout at my local gym. I thought I'd attempt some yoga poses I'd seen online. Mid-pose, I lost my balance and knocked over a row of weights, causing a loud crash and drawing everyone's attention. FML
Today, I was cycling home. On the way, my laces got stuck in the bicycle pedals and I couldn't move the foot that got stuck. The bicycle fell over, with me attached to it. Everyone was looking at me like, "What are you doing?" FML
Today, while running on the treadmill at the gym, the girl next to me slipped and went flying back against the wall. Indecisive whether to get off and help her or to just keep going, I lost my focus and footing and flew back next to her. FML
Today, I went to my gym and tried a new workout machine that had just been installed. I set the weight too high and ended up stuck halfway through a lift, making weird struggling noises. Most people around me stopped and stared as I awkwardly dropped the weights. FML
Today, at the gym I loaded way too much weight on the bench press. Halfway through my set, I got stuck with the bar on my chest, squealing like a squeezed rubber duck until a stranger rescued me. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

At least someone helped you. "I was stuck there for the rest of the day," would have been pretty terrible =P

Don't worry about it! I'm a rower and I see people attempting to erg all the time at the gym. 99% of people do it wrong and I've seen people fall off countless times. Don't be embarrassed :)

To those who row for sport, ergs (rowing machines) are more than just dangerous, they are a medieval torture device.

57- Relax it's not like anyone actually LIKES those movies.
SqueakyChipmunk 21
... I just like the eerie thought that death cannot be escaped, and the lack of control in that matter. And the deaths. I like a good variety of ways to die in a movie. That's why I like 1000 ways to die. But seriously, the repeat of the plot is slightly annoying, but the deaths and fear make up for it. I My opinion, they should have mixed FD4 and 5 into one movie. Ending of FD5 + Actors, deaths and graphics of FD4 = Epic.

Trust me, there is no exercise that can compare to the pain of a 2k erg test. You won't understand until you've done it.

Hate to break it to you, but there is no comparison to rowing (even on an erg) to kayaking.
