My butt vs the 30 lb dumbbell

[spyrosmom]

Ouch!!! Yeah, the DB won! I am such a klutz!!! I am doing 4DS this month, and was on day 3 today w/ KB & legs on tap. Made it thru KB no incident. Started legs. Did the 1st exercises w/ the barbell, and put the BB on floor in front of the TV and OUT OF MY WAY. So I keep on going thru the workout, and its been awhile, so I couldn't recall what other equipment I needed, so there were points I needed to pause to gather and rearrange my stuff. I got to the part with the plie squats, paused the DVD, and set the clicker back down on the TV stand.

Pulled out my step, set the 30lb DB on the step and then we have the great big stupid!!! Instead of standing behind the BB and reaching to grab the remote (which is what I normally do), I stepped one foot over the bar, grabbed the clicker, and stepped back, forgetting I had a bar between my legs. I tripped backwards on the bar and landed with my right butt on the edge of the big DB and the step. OW OW OW!!!! It hurt so bad, I couldn't even work up a good string of curse words

I feel so stupid and kluzty. My tush is rather tender now, and I was expecting quite the bruise, but nothing yet on my behind. My ego and pride however, have taken quite the beating.

Ouchie!!! At least no one saw it! I've walked full force right into a machine at the gym before. One of the reasons why working at home is so much better!

Ouch, Nan. My butt now hurts in sympathy.

OMG ouch! You poor thing! Be glad no one was around to see it!

I once tripped and fell (HARD) while running out on the Purdue campus. It was near a big intersection, so naturally, a bazillion people saw it happen. I wasn't hurt too bad (scraped my knee up pretty bad, but nothing I couldn't keep running through) but man was I embarrassed! I mean, come on, how do you FALL while running?

Oh Nan!! I didn't know whether to laugh or cry for you so I did both!! Normally I'd say bless your heart, but I guess in this case, bless your butt is more appropriate!! I sincerely hope that you didn't injury anything in your lower spine.Seriously, keep an eye (so to speak) on it just in case you did do some real damage.

Zowie, Batman!

Ooo, that must have really hurt! Can't believe with all the cushion on the butt, that when you fall on it, it seems to hurt worse than anything else! Why is that? I should know, my middle name should have been Grace - NOT! I'm such a klutz it's not even funny! I fall my butt right down my stairs quite regularly! Landing on a DB, however, oooo, that had to really smart!

Hang in there Nan! The bright side is, even if you do develop a bruise, it certainly won't show! ; )

Ouch. That must have been painful. I know what you mean about feeling like a clutz, even when no one is there to witness it. I fell of my step a few weeks ago, and my ego was bruised. I felt myself turn red with embarrassment, and no one was in my house to see it at the time, lol.

Hope the pain has gone away!
