Today, I finally felt motivated to do some exercise. As I got my weights out, I noticed out of the corner of my eye someone moving about outside my window. I got scared and dropped a weight on my foot. The person outside was my own reflection. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was texting while walking up the stairs to my porch. When I looked up, I saw someone standing behind the porch door, and was so scared that I fell backwards down the stairs. Turns out, it was just my reflection. FML
Today, I was on the toilet and jumped when I saw a face at the window. It was my own reflection. FML
Today, at the gym, I caught sight of myself in the mirror while lifting weights and thought, “Damn, I look good!” I smiled. Then I realized the mirror was actually a window. A group of people outside had been watching me flex with a shit-eating grin on my face for God know how long. FML
Today, I walked into my near pitch-black bathroom and saw a person staring back at me. I woke my whole family up with my screams. The person was my reflection. FML
Today, I went to the gym after months of procrastinating. I walked straight into the glass wall next to the entrance instead of the door. A guy lifting near the front desk winced in sympathy. I still worked out, but I could see my face slowly swelling in the mirror. FML
Today, I was passing a building and saw a fat, ugly person inside. I started to laugh and noticed it was my reflection. 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 got scared by my own leg fat. FML
Today, I came home from work and went to open the door. I Iooked through the window and saw a man in my house. Terrified, I called the police. They came, searched the house, and found nothing missing. I went back inside and looked through the window and saw him again. It was my reflection. FML
Today, I went to the gym for the first time in months. Feeling pumped, I grabbed what I thought was a light dumbbell. It wasn’t. I dropped it on my toe and screamed so loud that the gym bros around me stopped mid-workout to stare at me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I bet realizing someone wasn't outside your window was a real weight off your shoulders.

Weights aren't exactly exercise, they're sort of toning up. I know people will contradict me and say "It's anaerobic exercise" and say stuff like that but if you just want to work on your muscles, do weights. If you want actual exercise and to get fitter, go running or do something exerting. We all know which of those two options is the more honourable and better option for you.

Ever been to high school health class? There are 3 types of fitness, strength stamina and flexibility. So lifting is proving one aspect of fitness. Although if you want to lose fat fast, go running.

You can get a toned body with low weights and high repetitions if that's what you mean by "fitter". It all depends on the exercise you do.

Weights absolutely are exercise...by definition of exercise... More importantly, lifting weights increases your metabolism which allows you to burn more calories while at rest. However, I'm more taken aback that you brought honour into this.

Diggin' that username xD And btw, if you're fat, weightlifting will probably make you look even fatter. Try starting with some cardio.

That's a really good tip. Weight has to be lost before you can see the effects of weightlifting anyway. If you see those people on shows like Biggest Loser who do weights and cardio at the same time, their arms looks weird. It looks like they just rearranged their fat to look like muscles.
