Today, I decided to try a 7-minute exercise video to start working out and get in shape. I couldn’t make it though the video. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I started a new workout routine to get fit. After watching a bunch of online videos, I thought I could jump right in. I overdid it on squats and now can’t sit down without grunting like a wounded animal. I’m now having to climb stairs on all fours. FML
Today, I decided to start my exercise video routine. It's an African dance workout DVD. Just as I felt confident and motivated about getting in shape, I realized that my window was wide open and my neighbors were getting a front row seat to me waving my arms in the air like an idiot. FML
Today, trying to get into shape because I run out of breath after walking more than 30 minutes, I started to hit the gym. Too bad my legs didn’t want to cooperate and decided that it would cause limping-worthy pain for every step I took on the treadmill. FML
Today, I started a home workout routine by following a YouTube video that promised "beginner-friendly" exercises. While attempting a lunge, I lost my balance, fell forward, and knocked over my TV. The TV fell onto my yoga mat, breaking both. Now I have no motivation and no TV. FML
Today, I tried to go to the gym, but I ended up watching cat videos on YouTube for three hours. FML
Today, I decided to start exercising. I almost passed out five minutes into the warm up, and couldn't even stand in the shower afterwards. I'm only 21. FML
Today, I started doing cardio at my local gym with a basic exercise bike because doing weightlifting by itself wasn't having an effect on my weight. Since I'm out of shape, I did 15 minutes instead of the standard 30. I had to stop at 10 minutes because my legs were so sore they nearly gave out on me when I stood up. FML
Today, I tried a new workout class as part of my New Year's resolution to get fit. The instructor said, “Don’t worry, we’ll start easy.” Twenty minutes in, I was flat on the floor while everyone else continued effortlessly. When the instructor asked if I was OK, I gave a thumbs-up, but I haven’t been able to sit down since. FML
Today, I'd signed up to try a workout class at the gym. However, as soon as the instructor started the class, I realized it was much more intense than I had anticipated. I ended up passing out and had to be carried out of the class by the instructor. FML
Today, I decided to turn my life around and start exercising more. I didn't even make it out the door before I tripped and fractured my ankle. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Don't worry. Starting is the hardest part. Just strive for a little more each time :)

a 7 minute video can't get you in shape.. and what's with all the people here who are telling you to get in shape?!! all shapes are beautiful, you don't need to change.

as someone who understands this just do what you can. and keep pushing to do more each time. Modify to get through and then work on no modifications!

Don’t let that discourage you! It’s actually completely normal to not be able to make it completely through the first workout. Just keep pushing, OP. I believe in you!

Don’t feel bad. Those videos are made to be hard to get through. I tried one a week ago (after not full blown exercising for almost 3 years), and couldn’t make it through the second exercise. It just takes patience. Keep at it, and you’ll be able to make it through.

if its the one that encourages you to do the most repetitions you can of an activity for 30 seconds with 10 second rests between, just take it easy and do less repetitions in each segment.
