Today, I was at the gym on the elliptical. Feeling proud of myself for finishing a very intense workout, I looked to my left to see that the maintenance guy fixing the machine next to me had burned more calories testing the machine than I did during my entire workout. FML

ever consider he didn't fix the machine right and the calories burned count was wrong?

So OP, what exactly is your definition of "intense"?

Standing on the machine while watching "Jersey Shore" and drinking a smoothie does not count as a "very intense workout".

You Got up, Got your ass to the Gym, and worked out. Grats. The fact is, if even a few more of us made that effort we'd be in far far better shape. Be Damn Proud you did it.

This. At least you're trying, and after a while maybe you will be able to go faster/harder/longer/etc. (please don't make any "that's what she said" jokes, haha.) And now for my terrible elliptical pun… you just gotta take things one step at a time. /brick'd Good luck OP. (:

It doesn't matter what anyone else can do, you should be proud of yourself for working hard to increase your own fitness and strength. Keep it up!

THE_A_TEEN- I think what they were trying to say was: Next time work out for *more than 2 minutes. Still a pretty stupid comment, though.

The important thing is, you still burned some calories. That's way better than sitting around on your ass all day. Keep your chin up, OP!

Feel so sorry for you, OP. It feels horrible when you're absolutely stuffed from a workout but the number of calories burned doesn't reflect it :/ FYL
