Today, I was feeling really good about myself for running and walking everywhere so much so that I was out of breath and panting. Well, until I remembered that I was playing a video game and it was my character that was doing the running around that is. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went running for the first time in a few months. I had what I thought was an asthma attack. When I got home, I realized that it was not asthma, but instead I have gained so much weight that my running bra restricted my breathing. 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 woke up in the hospital. I had apparently overworked my heart so much that I fainted. What caused it? I was playing a racing game on my Wii and freaked out when I won first place. FML
Today, I got so self-conscious about weight gain that I got paranoid about how much my Castle Crashers character was eating to heal. 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, 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, I was playing a virtual reality game at a gaming convention. I got so into it that I didn't realize I was screaming and flailing around in. A crowd had gathered to watch my dumbass embarrass myself. FML
Today, I was doing a fitness test. Though clumsy, I managed to spin around a bat then dash across a balance beam, run through some tires, and walk across a log floating in water. Pleased with my performance, I walked to the bathroom, tripped on my shoelace, and bust my head on the floor. FML
Today, feeling out of shape, I went for a jog. I got mugged. FML
Today, I ran out of breath while mowing the lawn. I was on a riding lawn mower. FML

I've been out of breath playing a video game before just by having my heart rate so high. This isn't unheard of and certainly not something to be shameful about.

To all those people laughing! You will be jealous of OP's muscular thumbs!

First World Probelms it seems. Sorry OP, it does not count as exercise.

You need to level up your stamina bro
tompou6 19
It's not bad at all if you feel excited by it, but just panting because of your character running is a bad sign, you might want to go for a real walk/run OP...
JMichael 26
You need to pick up a few stamina boosters. But no I can understand your heart rate going up if the game is really good. But running out of breath? Don't hold it for so long.

I agree. I do the same. Btw love the name OP tomb raider is generally the game I get out of breath with, and sometimes batman

#22 Does Viagra count?

No.

I meant it as my heart rate is increased due to adrenaline. CoD and Skyrim can provide that kind of excitement at times :) at least for me.

If OP was a guy, I'm sure he'd have a muscular right arm, too.

That must be one realistic game if you thought you were the one running.
SrgntSprnkls77 15
Super Mario

If OP is a PC gamer they could have been playing a game called DayZ. It is possibly the most realistic game I have ever played.
bobbyguy 17
#24 there are a lot more realistic games. But DayZ is one not the funnest

Grand Theft Auto

I lose myself in video games too... You're not alone.
BeastOfJupiter 7
Do you play Skyrim at all? That game is a black hole of space-time.
RpiesSPIES 27
Meh. Pokemon and Phantasy Star are the big time-eaters for me. And Dark Souls... 100 hours in 2 weeks.
MurphyGallagher 18
I'm a Skyrim addict. The day I got it I played all day and night, non stop. Maybe two pee breaks and three smoke breaks... Lots of energy drinks were consumed lol

Any legend of zelda game for me.

Good for you OP, it takes real patience to make your character walk and run in a game. You should still join a gym to experience it for real though.
Brayson 12
Why join a gym? I'm sure that there is a perfectly good sidewalk right outside. Best part about it is its free. No monthly fee. Well unless you count the taxes that state takes out. Well OP lives in Australia so they can just go on walk about.
crazytwinsmom 25
Go out and Prancercize.

OP is a 'she'.
liketenpandas 6
maybe that's the reason OP doesn't go outside? Heck I wouldn't exactly be thrilled to go toe to tail with a rattler or a pack of dingos
EternalTime 7
It's time to put down the controller

NEVER

Part of me hopes this is a wii game.

Pretty sure it's GTA 5, haha.

Now you have the inspiration to do it for real
