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

No control over my limbs

Today, I was at the gym and I tripped on the treadmill. Not only did I fall off the machine, I also managed to knock over two other people's water bottles and send them flying across the room. FML

Today, I was at the gym, feeling pretty proud of myself for working out consistently for the past month. As I was about to grab a towel, I tripped and landed face-first into a pile of gym mats. People turned to look, and all I could do was try to laugh it off through the pain of what turned out to be a sprained ankle. FML

First impressions

By Anonymous - 01/12/2024 15:00 - Canada - Calgary

Today, I joined a gym. I’m overweight and not very athletic, so I was nervous. I looked around and tried a treadmill. I start walking at a chill pace, then got ambitious and cranked it to a "light jog." Within seconds, I tripped, fell, and sent the emergency stop button flying across the room. The gym staff ran over and I swear someone said, “Well, at least he’s trying.” FML

Routine

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

Namaste

Today, I tried a new workout at my local gym. I thought I'd attempt some yoga poses I'd seen online. Mid-pose, I lost my balance and knocked over a row of weights, causing a loud crash and drawing everyone's attention. 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 participated in an obstacle course. As I was going over a set of monkey bars, my balls got crushed between the bar and my gut. I barely managed to get down before blacking out in the middle of the road. FML

Today, while on the treadmill, my iPod fell and shot out underneath my feet. I got off to get it, and when I tried to get back on, I slipped and fell on my face on the moving track. The whole gym watched me get beat up by a treadmill and clapped when I finally got back on. FML

Today, my friends were making fun of my clumsiness. I replied that I was not clumsy, and to prove it I was going to go the whole day without messing up. As I said this, I tripped over an extension cord and hit my head on a desk. FML

Today, at work, I used my foot to flush the toilet, lost my balance, and ended up catching myself with my foot in the toilet. FML

#10 it was the irony of it. A regularly clumsy person makes it through an obstacle course only to fall over his/her own showlace and injure themselves.

well, this could very well be a FML because when he says 'busted' I assume he means cracked his head open or something... in that case, FYL, and if so, how can any 1 say YDI?

What kind of "fitness" test is that? 'Oh, let's have kids spin around a bat to see how fit they are!'

err. You people commenting on how lame this is... I assume you slept through english class in high school? I mean, sleep is important and all, but look up irony on wikipedia, it's important in life. I promise. The amusing part is that the OP, a clumsy person, passed a fitness/agility test only to fall flat on his face, directly contradicting the results of the test. @ OP: nice job.... roflmao. and fyi, OP: original post/poster. I think. Maybe?

Yes, OP means original poster. I wonder who came up with all the acronyms for everything like FYL means **** your life, or YDI means you deserved it...stuff like that.

interesting fitness test. that totally sounds like something I'd do. I actually went kneeboarding for the first time last summer, managed to stay on for 5 minutes, and I was so proud of myself. Then, while trying to get back up on the boat, I slipped back off and scraped up my legs. it was kinda funny, actually. as is this FML...but FYL (: hope you feel better soon.
