Jimmy Fallon is asking people to share more embarrassing stories, this time focusing on their fitness fails.

"We came home once and there was a beer in the cup holder."
From collapsing just after a tour of a health club to spilling pizza sauce all over your workout schedule, these funny moments highlight that the road to having a body of a Greek god requires sacrifice.

Extra points for too cute. She loves you just the way you are. <3 True Love.....
You poor, dear thing. My thoughts are with you during this incredibly difficult ('butt' hilarious) time. LOLOL
I find it oddly coincidental that the top comment is a dad joke.
Load More Replies...I used to babysit a toddler whose favorite song was "BIG pimpin', spending some 'cheese'."
Aww! Soo the baby is to blame. But since they r cute they will get away with anything.
Haha nice this is actually a good idea that I may file away for future reference ... 😏
That's an old joke, actually. Heard it a couple years ago, it was circulating on a meme for a while.
It annoys me that she stole the joke and tried to pass it as her own
heres my dirty mind thinking that you missed 2 day of work because you spent them in bed with the jogging lady! So Craig David of me
Since I moved into my new house couple of years back, the jogging track in garden in front was always almost empty, until a very hot girl (found out later she was some modal) started doing Yoga in garden. Suddenly males of all ages in our area were eager to get fit.
I think it's kind of sweet that he whispered it instead of saying it out loud to focus everyone's attention on you. Most guys would just blurt it out in front of everyone and try to get everyone laughing at you.
Better then a Hole in them! Then I am sure he wouldn't have told!
I have been told me running looks like a baby giraffee attempting to walk for the firsr time
Only spider I had descending from the ceiling was when I just went to bed and saw a black blurr getting clearer and clearer (I am very nearsighted). I rolled out of bed when I realised what was coming closer, snatched my glasses and thanks to lazyness I had the vacum in my room. Vaccumed it and took the vacum down stairs just in case.
"Took the vacuum downstairs just in case....". Well played. They escape suction, sinks, everything! Take no chances, my friend!
Load More Replies...That wouldn't be that awkward, unless you said something like "Oh, I'd love to f**k him."
or "christ, i could do with a sit down, wonder if hed let me rest on his face"
Load More Replies...Surely she this wasn't news to her that other people would find him attractive lol
And everyone will wonder why you never came close to that distance again.
My parents bought one back in... 1990? It's still in the same spot, slightly dusty but barely used.
I once pulled something in my shoulder trying on sports bras. This is no joke.
What? They didn't drag your dead body out to the dumpster? What kind of irresponsible gym is that?
That's terrible. Sounds like those instructors need better education. You can't just slap people into any workout routine without a background check on health
"Let's park our car here in case Plan A doesn't work out" (or maybe that was their getaway car)
What guys don't know is that girls rarely care/know how much men are lifting. It's not like an extra 30 pounds is going to make us interested:)
I thank you on behalf of all the single guys out there.
Load More Replies...Same. My Fitbit reminds me to do 250 steps an hour and if I've only got 50 or so left, I just move my arms and hope for the best
my mom has one and once I borrowed it and just messed around while sitting down and I got her 200+ steps
Load More Replies...For all those who don't know - "Nidra" means "sleep" in Hindi!
It's more of a Sanskrit word. Neend is Hindi. But I get your point.
Load More Replies...Hold on....people pay money......to go to the gym......and nap? #wtf
Lmao... pounding a Red Bull and 5hr energy and shooting PreWorkOut and then... sleep yoga???
Yoga nidra is actually a pretty intense thing, it's just for spiritual cleansing, rather than for the physical. And it's actually great, when u do it , when u know what are you doing.
I once took a "beginner" spinning class. I just couldn't keep up with the other students. When I complained, they told me I was in an "intermediate" class. There were no signs on the door, I just went to the room # they gave me. No wonder the instructor was giving me funny looks.
Several Hefty teachers always team up for the annual staff weight loss. Team is BFF, for big fat friends. One year a guy had surgery, weeks in rehab, lowered appetite, nausea. He lost a lot of weight, and the BFF's won the challenge.
Why are people bleeding? It seems dangerous to go to the gym. Staying tf away.
Depending on the type of deadlift you do, e.g. normally ones that start from the floor as opposed to those that start at the squat rack, require that you scrape the bar against your shins as part of the proper form. Depending on the age of the bar, the diamond grip can be sharp and cut you, yes I have bled doing doing deadlifts.
Look on the bright side... You're not a member anymore. You have a pyjama excuse.
It's the knurling on the bar...gives it grip...and can tear skin. I've ripped a few calluses off and made my shin bleed a few times.
Load More Replies...Wut, scraping your shins to the point of bleeding the weight is far more than you can handle for the deadlift or that you've accumulated excess fatigue and are not maintain proper form! You need to maintain shin contact with the bar at all times, but don't cue grinding the bar into your shins. There are some people with extreme leverages due to body proportions, but those are the exceptions. Sumo, Conventional, RDL, cleans or snatches when done with proper form should not scrape your shins up.
Hahahaha... good one.. now you mentioned it, I can guess the sound can drive you crazy if you don't know it's a person running on treadmill.
Isn't this up their with the faux pa of giving something like a vacuum cleaner for Christmas?
Hashtags don’t have spaces, sry just saying (I upvoted u btw)
Load More Replies...Sounds like something my friends would do. I´m legit, the clumsiest person in my entire school.
My gym teacher said "is like a fish out of water," and "P.E. does not come naturally for her."
Kinda reminds me of the time a dodgeball rebounded off the floor and hit me square in my groin. I squeaked out "I'm okay," then I flopped onto the floor and inchwormed my way to the sidelines.
Yah me too. Got talked into an expensive membership. Hurt so bad. Didn't go back. Rinse and repeat far too many times. .............. Came to my senses. realized i do NOT like gyms..the programs teh "professionals" gave me did not suit my illness and prior perma injuries. I do much better walking / riding and doing exercises at home. And with my friends.........far too many gyms just want the money.
I was leaving a parking lot, and I saw a really buff guy in his twenties come out of the gym. I thought "he's a good advertisement for the gym." Didn't mean to stare. Then I saw a guy my own age (in his 60's) going into the gym. He was also in great shape. Gotta meet that guy. Or join the gym. LOL
Pretty sure gyms major income stream is people buying memberships, going a few times. Quitting. ( i cannot add up the money i have wasted this way )
That's literally it... Gyms couldn't afford to stay open if EVERYONE who had memberships turned up. And there wouldn't be enough room anyway.
Load More Replies...Please tell us all, even if its a lie - that your friend did lose the weight!
Some of them aren't afraid of sartorial accessories at all!
Load More Replies...Most people " fail" these impossibly programs. Money makers make a LOT of money off our feeling bad. Most of the people who " succeed" at commercial diet programs gain back MORE weight a few years later. If you want the stats try NewScientist. a weekly paper magazine. Do not know how searchable their web site is. good luck
If you google her. She's pretty skinny... so I don't feel bad for her one bit
Just completing one is not a fail! How many people didn't even try?
Load More Replies...Hey at least you DID IT! I say major props to you and screw the “average”.
You were ahead of all the people who stayed home sitting on the couch. I'd say that's a win!!!
In Vecorin Switzerland there is a Parcours Vita (sorry if not spelled correctly) outside exercise course. It's at a very high elevation and I live at sea level. Supposed to take 25 to 30 minutes to compleat. I walked round the course, not doing the exercises, totally out of breath. Took me an hour and 20 minutes. Had a fantastic view of the valley below. The artics on the road looked like ants, could not distinguish people.
I have seen in almost all homes that have treadmills, its never used. I am not saying ALL. But in most of them, may be it's a human thing that we tend to push ourselves when we are in company of other humans like in Gym etc.
I used it a lot for running on a few months a year, then the rest of the time it's where I sort clean laundry.
Load More Replies...And this is why you shouldn't share those details with people. The extra pressure can lead you to giving up.
Dogs don't poop while walking. They may take a few steps when squeezing it out, but not while in full stride.

Load More Replies...Did you just leash him to it and leave him? I don't get how it could've gotten this bad...
I'm gonna say b******t on this one. No pun intended... any guy who does let a shart slip, knows instantly and if they have the gurgles they won't let it rip.
OMG! How long did it take you to realise what was happening to stop the machine? gooood
Statistically, there are more cow related deaths in a year than shark related deaths. I'd run too.
cows dont chase you they are following you its normal behavior for them
I took my disabled friend to her slimming club, bought and ate fish and chips whilst waiting for her. In six weeks I lost more weight than she did. She was yelled at for not losing weight. She had been bed bound for 20 years and had started to be able to move. Went down 3 dress sizes whilst gaining weight. Muscle weighs more than flab.
Why wouldn’t you just cancel it ? Must be nice to have some spare cash to burn...
My mum can lose weight on the add onions diet. She can't process them, dire consequences in the rear.
Mold??? What do you do with your swimsuits? Keep them all bunched up in a soggy heap?
Was on the treadmill at the gym, right in front of giant windows. Thought I saw my cousins car pull up to drop her off. Waved, fell off treadmill, laughed it off.....then looked over in the other direction and saw that my cousin was already IN THE GYM and I'd been waving and falling off the treadmill to a stranger.
Anyone else notice the only time Jimmy Fallon is funny is when he outsources his comedy to the public?
Me too, and it works great in the summer. But if you live where I do, then for half the year you have to contend with one or more of the following: 1) the air being too cold, or your scarf fogging up your glasses, 2) the path being too slippery to walk, never mind run, and 3) it still being dark when you have to leave for work, and being dark again already when you leave. So sometimes it's a treadmill or nothing.
Load More Replies...The people who have home equipment should be grateful. We don't have a treadmill so we're forced to either go for a run outside or go to the gym
#12 I don't get how that's a fail. Just say "Good job" and move on.
So..... I'm hanging from my inversion table wearing only my raggedy old gym shorts. On the Turning Away comes on the speakers and I start accompanying them on air guitar. Just then my adult son decides to drop in on dear old dad. Bad news, he's got a vision of his half naked, upside down, air guitar playing old man that he can't unsee. Good news, I really nailed the guitar solo.
I put on some weight, so I decided to go to the gym. First day hurt like hell, usually does right? Well... after a few days pain didn't stop so I went to the doctor. Turns out I have a torn meniscus, again. 5th tear. 2 ACLs too. 6 surgeries on same knee so far.
