Today, I decided to work out. Being too embarrassed to run in public, I instead ran in circles in my basement. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I decided I would actually make use of my apartment complex's exercise equipment. My routine consisted of one mile on the treadmill, and 15 minutes on the toilet followed by 10 minutes of lying in the fetal position on my bath mat. Great core workout. 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
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 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
Today, I decided to start jogging and exercising, so I had a wonderful workout before work. Then I broke my foot at work. Goodbye exercising. 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 did my workout at the gym instead of at home as I usually do, since I'm paranoid about people seeing up my shorts. I told myself to get over it, because it's impossible. After my extensive workout, I realized that there was a hole in the crotch of my shorts. FML
Today, I decided to be healthy and go for a run. I broke my ankle. FML
Today, I went for a run to get in shape for the first time in ages. I put on my running shoes and hit the pavement. Halfway through, the sole of one shoe came off, and I had to hobble back home in embarrassment. FML
Today, I went to the gym to try to get into shape. While I was running on the treadmill, my beer belly pushed against the emergency stop button, twice. FML

At least you were running instead of doing nothing. That's probably more than a lot of people can say.

If you're ashamed about being seen jogging because you're seriously overweight, running will probably give you an injury very soon. It would be safer to start with low-impact training, like cycling, swimming, taking long walks, walking up stairs or walking/stepping on a machine in the gym. It might take more time to get results, but you would look more dignified, too.

What Epikouros said. Also, if you're just self conscious generally, maybe you should consider buying gym equipment so that you can work out 'properly' in your own home.

Gym equipment generally just becomes an expensive clothes rack. Take the money you would spend on that and work with a personal trainer. Then you have someone to be accountable to and it helps a lot.

Don't worry about it, the douchebags at the gym that you think are laughing at you are usually too self absorbed to look at anyone but their reflection in the mirror anyway!

This isn't an FML, I run in my house everyday because i like to use the wii-fit to track my time and i have actually lost over 2 stone since I started. It's best to have a natural breeze though so if you don't have any windows in your basement you might want to make some space to run in other rooms of the house to make sure it's well ventilated.

Good thinking, you probably could not obey all the rules of the road if you waddled in public. Do you have the Day-glo Orange shorts that say CAUTION: WIDE LOAD across the ass?
