Embarrassing Moments!
Readers share blush-worthy tales from the workout room.
Sometimes, the worst exercise injury is a bruised ego.
A few brave readers share their best stories of when flush turned to blush:
The Sound and the Fury
"I was doing long spine/leg stretching at Pilates. As the gorgeous French owner helped me open my legs wide to complete the stretch, it happened: I queefed! I don't know if he heard, but I was mortified! Kegel up, ladies. It could happen to you!"--DR
There’s Something in the Air
“I hopped on the treadmill. After about 30 seconds, I definitely had to...emit, but I didn't want to stop because the gym was packed. Once the first one let go, I felt more coming. I wasn't sure whether the two people on either side of me without headphones could hear. I'm still convinced that they did!"--EB
Over the Moon
“I was doing stand-up calf raises with a weight bar at the gym when, halfway through my reps, my pants fell down! It seemed like a lifetime before I could put the weight bar on the floor and pull my pants back up. Everyone was looking at me!"--JS
