Today, in an effort to be fitter, I joined a Pilates class. Ten minutes into it, I dropped a 10-pound dumbbell on my face. I now have a horrific looking black eye, and half of my cheek is a mottled green color. Not to mention the cut above my eye that needed 4 stitches. FML

A rule as a beginner is to start out slow. You need to use 2 - 5 lb weights before you move to 10lb weights.

Green and stitches... It's a bit early to dress up as Frankenstein... Hopefully you make a full recovery!

When they said you can drop your weights down anytime, they didn't really mean at ANY time.

I HATE to say it but...No pain. No gain? Seriously though. Don't let this stop you from bettering yourself. Use the 5 pound dumbell next time. Good luck OP.

You sure it was a Pilates and not a Pirates class? Because you passed with flying colors if it was - go get your eye patch.

Pilates uses weights? And requires you to lift them over your head? As Tony Horton says "Tip of the day: Don't smash your face!"
