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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, my boyfriend convinced me do an Insanity workout with him. I passed out during the warmup. FML
Today, I went to the gym for the first time in months. I was so out of shape that I couldn't even finish my warm-up. 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
Today, I was feeling really good about going to the gym for the first time. That was until I got so worn out from my “warm up” on the treadmill that I had to go home and spew. FML
Today, I decided to get back in shape so I went swimming. I only managed 10 lengths and was completely out of breath. I was so embarrassed that when a lifeguard asked me if I was OK, I made up a story about a leg injury as a reason to leave only 15 minutes after I got in. 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 went to the gym for the first time in months. On my way home, my legs gave out halfway up the stairs to my apartment, and I had to awkwardly sit there until I could crawl the rest of the way up. FML
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, 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Keep at it and you'll never regret it again. At least in a few weeks anyway.

The warm-up for P90X is intense. I could only do 20 out of 60 minutes my first time trying it. I'm totally out of shape.

Getting fit takes patience and time! You started!! That's HUGE! Don't be disappointed. It's too easy to beat yourself on your level of fitness. Stick with it, and I guarantee you in a week you will see great results. Keep it up and it becomes a way of life. Forget diets - they don't work. Exercise will improve everything for you. GOOD WORK!! And, in the beginning it's not how long your work-outs are - you have to build up. Start by working out 20 minutes per day for the first four days, then 25 minutes for four days, then 30 minutes. Get it? Build easy to tackle goals. Also give yourself one or two days a week to rest and recover. The hardest part about getting fit is just getting dressed in your workout gear. So, LACE UP and HIT IT!! You can do it. BRAVO! Soon you will totally get the Nike, "Just Do It" message. Sometimes your heart isn't in it, but you just do it - then later feel so proud.

With exercise, the key is to start small and work up to what you want to do. Last summer, I could barely bench the bar. A year later, I can comfortably lift 135 pounds. Working up to a target is everything.
