have you eva...

whilst at the gym, exerted that much energy from your upper body i.e. bench press, shoulder press, lat pull downs, bicep curls, etc. that you have absolutely depleted your upper body of strength??

Well then, have you ever done all of the above and then picked up your towel between your thumb and forefinger (because that's as much strength as you can manage) to make your way to the water cooler with legs that feel like lead only to trip over the rowing machine... STOP PRESS!!!!

Think about this for one second here... contemplate the horror... directly in front of you there are six treadmills in use, four cross-trainers are in action as well as personal trainers chatting with their clients... then YOU come along chortling away because your endorphins are pinging, and you manage to smile using the least amount of facial muscles you can muster...

SLOW MOTION...

You feel yourself stumble "O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-PPPPPSSSSS!!!!... OHHHH NNNNooooooooo!!!  Your legs aren't moving as fast as they should... oxygen is depleted... the ground is coming up... FAST... you put your arms out to break your fall and guess what? Your arms no longer have enough strength to break your fall... you face plant complete with lip drag and scoop up every piece of lint that that patch of carpet has to offer...

Well,  have you ever done that?

Me neither.

That cracked my up, Lynette. I was feeling sorry I'd missed it, ha ha!! BTW, I'm feeling your pain, girlfriend :(

I've never done that but I do recall a really good friend of mine slipping off the end of a treadmill LOL xxxx

[Kristi Smith]

I have done that . . . okay, no I haven't. I just wanted to make that poor lady feel better. ;) But I bet she is getting in great shape. Hee-hee.

Hey Bev! I remember the day that woman was too busy yabbering away to her friend beside her to concentrate on the treadmill... her wide-eyed friend had to grab her arm to stop her from flying off the end of it! thank you... =D

Some of you aren't quite sure whether or not it was me, huh?!

[Janette]

It was you! I know it was!!!! That's why I told you to enjoy your NEXT trip! Hehehehe!

Don't worry Kiwi I've had my share of trips! WAYYYYYYYYYYY too many!

I don't care who it was, it was FUNNY! The other day we were eating dinner with some friends and the hubby came in from the backyard, walked three steps into the house on the kitchen floor (while talking to us all, so we were all looking) stepped on a piece of food on the floor and SLAM!! He fell forward SO FAST and put his shoulder through the wall! LITERALLY! there was a big hole in the wall. I'm just glad it wasn't his head! But it could have been on a movie! It was ONLY funny because he WASN'T hurt! Which is also good because I'm pretty sure it was one of my kids that left the food on the floor!!!
