Today, I finally started exercising. I'm a rather obese person and I'm super pumped up to finally get off my lazy butt and lose some weight. Locking myself in my room, I first started with a very simple exercise: jumping jacks. I farted each time I jumped. I jumped 10 times. FML

Work out

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, I decided to start my exercise video routine. It's an African dance workout DVD. Just as I felt confident and motivated about getting in shape, I realized that my window was wide open and my neighbors were getting a front row seat to me waving my arms in the air like an idiot. 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 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

Having fun over there?

Today, I went to the gym for the first time in quite a while. I was feeling pretty good about myself until I realized I'd been on the elliptical machine for twenty minutes without having actually turned it on. I was just moving the pedals and wondering why I wasn’t getting tired. FML

Baby steps

Today, I started doing cardio at my local gym with a basic exercise bike because doing weightlifting by itself wasn't having an effect on my weight. Since I'm out of shape, I did 15 minutes instead of the standard 30. I had to stop at 10 minutes because my legs were so sore they nearly gave out on me when I stood up. FML

New day, same shit

Today, was the day I would turn my life around and start losing weight. I went outside for my first run and said, "I got this!" I confidently stepped forward, the first symbolic steps to my new life. In the anticipation, I forgot my porch had steps. I face-planted on my driveway. FML

Today, I decided to work out. Being too embarrassed to run in public, I instead ran in circles in my basement. 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 figured I needed to go on a diet when I discovered I could make farting noises with my neck. FML

A small start is better than no start. Good luck!

Your choice of words is unfortunate, "I'm a rather obese person and I'm super pumped..." But keep trying, it's all downhill (weight wise) from here!

Listen, OP, you can do this! Start exercising alone and you'll figure it out. You're on the right road (: good luck!

Idk if thats a serious problem or just funny. either way, atleast you had the balls to atleast start working out. Keep at it.

OP if you actually read this you should first change your eating habits. Working out will only account for a few hundred calories a day. Eat better, lose wieght then get fit.

the extra calories that OP will be tempted to eat and extra stress on their body will counter any "good" done by exercising. I know two people who have lost around 70 pounds each just by eating right.
