Treadmill Workouts Gone Wrong

14 People Who Don't Know How to Treadmill

I'm quite lucky to have clients who always send me the latest and greatest on fitness and nutrition. And, sometimes I also get something that is just randomly silly and cracks me up.

It takes a great amount of stamina and endurance to get fit. For some, it also takes a lot of pride.

Coincidentally, the gym is easily one of the most intimidating places to work out. Sure, there's free towels and the luxury of controlled climates. But there are also treadmills, which can be scary, confusing and totally dangerous.

Take note from these poor, clumsy souls. May you never run out of a gym because its equipment ate your pants.
