Best / Funniest / Worst Workout Stories

I was just reading through some of the forums and the FUNNIEST memory sprang to life!

When I was in 6th grade, I really had a problem turning in my homework. I've never been good at doing it. I can sit and do the actual work. I ace the tests, but the homework kills me since I have to take time out of my own persona time to do it! Anyways, nothing was working to help me change my ways so my parents went in for a parent/teacher conference and asked her what she was doing to punish me. She told them that she'd send me to the library during recess. Oh darn... the library. I've never been the most athletic of gals, nor was I ever really a "lets go outside and play" type, so I LOVED going to the library! My dad told the teacher to make me start doing laps. For every homework assignment I didn't turn in I had to run to the gym, run 5 laps, then run all the way back to the classroom.

I did it once, then turned in every assignment after that! Hahahaha!

What are your stories? 

Funny now but at the time worst!

I was fast walking thru the neighborhood last summer and I went to turn down a street when I saw all these huge ravens squacking.  So, I decided to turn down the next street instead.  Well one of the ravens saw me and started to swoop and chase me.  Before I know it I am running and swinging my arms while 3 ravens dive bomb me.  I am screaming and people on bikes are passing me.  The ravens are just focused on me.  So I run onto someones front porch, my heart is absolutley racing!  The ravens sit in the trees and wait for me...so, I figure the homeowner is going to wonder what the hell am I doing on there porch and I try to walk away calmly,  Noooo...the chase is back on!  Finally after turning down several streets a girl and her dog approach.  I am running towards her telling her HELP I am being chased when the darn things stop there chase and fly away.  Well, it left me paranoid for while and I stopped walking that part of the neighborhood!  LOL  (Didn't the ravens know I go by julieraven?  LOL)

OMG!!! That's so scary! I really don't like birds, so I'd probably have been in tears!!! :)

ok i think i was just ending grade 8 anyways i started doing bench press idk how much weight it was and when i went to put it down like in the holders i wasnt looking and just dropped it and only the left side went in the holder and well it swung around and nailed me in the head....it wouldnt of if i didnt turn my head. It cut me wide open and well it hurt. I had a concusion and had to get a few stiches

 

now i make sure that i put the bar into the holder when im putting it down lol

Dang! That's a horrible time for something like that to happen! Were you in a weight training class or something? Like were there other kids there?

I have  3 GYM stories...alll happened within a year of each other....

1)  I'm on treadmill....older man (about 75 ish) getting off bike.....one leg over....PLOP~!  Ummmm Grown men should wear UNDERWEAR under their shorts!  Like a bad accident...You just HAVE to look!

2)  Once again, i'm on treadmill....guy next to me jumps off to fill his water bottle at the fountain (with belt still clipping along about 5 mph i'm guessing).....I see older lady (70ish) coming.....she doesnt realize the treadmill is actually RUNNING....OOOOOPS!  She basically ate the end of the treadmill!  Not a pretty site.  Everyone rushed over to help her up!

3)   My husband in sauna....I'm waiting for him in lobby....Basically naked 350 lbs man fainted in sauna...my hubby had to drag him outta there...with all the junk hanging out LOL OMG i would have KILLED to see that one!

~H~

Ummm....this is probably waaaay too much info...I'll skip the details but it involves mistakenly going for a run w/o realizing i was coming down with a stomach virus. Andddd getting some nasty diarreha about 3 miles from any bathroom...crippling stomach cramps, barely able to walk. I spent an unbearable 10 minutes hobbling around looking for something that might suffice as a bathroom.....finally had to make do with some bushes and leaves...uhh...at the edge of someones yard!! sooooooooo gross and I felt so horrible doing it but i had no choice. lol.

This one time I went to do crunches on an ab ball, and when I sat on it, it exploded.  The noise was SO loud and everyone came running over to me to make sure I was alright.  Talk about embarrassing!

I have 2 stories, not sure if they're more sad than funny, but here goes:

Once I was running along a trail near the river here, with my headphones in.  All of a sudden I hear this galloping coming up behind me, and I turned my head just in time to see this huge (but fancy and graceful) dog running straight at me.  I initially mistook it for a deer, which freaked me out, so I screamed out loud.  It was a nice day, so there were A LOT of people around.  The dog ran with me for a bit then went another way.  And no, deer aren't commonly spotted in city limits here...in fact, I've never heard of it happening before.

In a gym once, I was running on a treadmill when I started to feel faint and queasy.  Hadn't happened to me before, so I immediately hopped off the treadmill.  I was starting to see black spots so I sat on a nearby weight bench and started drinking my water.  Mere seconds later, I threw up all that water I drank, and a piece of gum.  I was 23 at the time, way too old to not make it to a bathroom to throw up.  They had to call a janitor to come clean it up and everything.  I never really did understand what caused that, but it hasn't happened since!
