Today, I was in a Zumba class with a young woman in her 20s and an older woman in her 80s. I couldn't keep up with either one of them. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, as a male in his 40s, I went to "mixed" aerobics. I arrived late to find the entire female class had started intensely warming up. Within 5 minutes I pulled a calf muscle and left limping pathetically past a martial arts class. FML
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, I injured my knee at a Zumba class, a class I joined to lose weight so my knees wouldn't hurt so much. Now I can't even go for a leisurely walk. FML
Today, I was trying to exercise more, so I went for a walk. I was quickly overtaken by a middle-aged lady with cankles, carrying heavy shopping bags in each hand. I'm 19, skinny, and apparently very unfit. FML
Today, I went to the gym to try out a new workout class. Halfway through, I realized I was in the wrong room and had accidentally joined a dance class. FML
Today, I went to go to an aerobics class. Shen the instructor walked in, she went up to me and told me it was a women only class. I am a woman. FML
Today, I went with my girlfriend to the gym for the first time. I knew I was in bad shape, but I bet her that I could lift more than her. Not only did I get my ass handed to me by a 5', 115lbs girl in front of the entire gym, I also have to attend Zumba in bright pink spandex. 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 joined a dance class to impress my girlfriend. Halfway through, I realized I had two left feet. The instructor asked me to demonstrate a simple move, and instead I tripped on the mat, fell into another dancer, and took her down with me. I’ve been banned from all future classes. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Psh, I understand... In pilates, I'm kind of sure that I'm the only person not able to flex and touch my toes. It's obviously because my legs are too long, it's not me being unfit.

Zumba is where you head on down to Waffle House and try to seduce the transsexual waitress(the one with two kids and a smoking problem) by singing the national anthem to your plate full of waffles, in hopes that she won't lay another restraining order on you.

Only the fact that she laid a restraining order on me, other than that, of course not.

Zumba is a high energy dance workout generally to latin or hip hop type music. Its a great workout (burns 600-1000 calories and hour depending on how much you can do and what level class you are in.)

how fat are you OP?

Doesnt matter how big or small you are if youve never tried moving your body that way. I started going with a group of girls that range in size from about 110lbs-250+lbs and regardless of size we all sucked.

I'm in Zumba and I love it, it's hard really to start at first. nice job! but you should try the work out insanity once you get the hang of it.
