Today, I went to the gym to try to get into shape. While I was running on the treadmill, my beer belly pushed against the emergency stop button, twice. FML

First impressions

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

One time I went to the gym. I heard the sound of clapping and got so excited. Turns out it was just my thighs.

At least your trying and that's what counts. Don't listen to all the negativity.

its okay OP, my first time at the gym I fell off the treadmill and knocked myself out, but i went back everyday until I was running 2+ miles, and I'm now in really good shape. It makes a great story, and I'm certain hitting the stop button will too, don't let it discourage you!

Maybe try swimming. Burns more calories and trains more areas than running would.

Plus, swimming isn't as hard on your joints as running is, since it's very low-impact. Anyone can do it, and it works so many different parts of your body. Good luck with the weight loss, OP, and remember to eat well :)

Since you are Irish OP drinking beer is your God given right! Don't ever forget that! It's in your blood for many centuries! Treadmills are new, been around maybe a generation. Don't feel bad, A+ for effort!!:)
