I took a "sampler" class at the Y last saturday. It was a little bit of STEP, "POWER ZONE" and YOGA. Well, since I had never been in a step class before I gave it a whirl. There were 6 of us there who had never done it before and guess who fell ???? Yep, you guess it ! it was me! Things were going just fine learning the "steps" and then we went "over the top" and my foot landed on the edge of the step, ankle rolled and I hit the floor elbow first!!! Good news here is that I did not sprain or strain my ankle (miraculously) and my elbow was only bruised. It was quite embarrassing though, and I nearly cried! But quickly gathered my ego off the floor and jumped right back in!

Hey The same thing happen to be when I stated circuit training. I really had a bad day and that just topped it off. I felt like crying but just got up and continued with the routine. When I got home I had a BIG BLACK bruse on my arm.

Glad you jumped back in there...that shows everyone more than your spill did...
The same thing happened to me a couple weeks ago...we were doing a "reverse turn step" and I turned my ankle and landed flat on the floor. Ever skim stones on a lake? Well that's what my butt did...lol

Oooohhhh... That can be embarassing. Luckily, you weren't in a big class with a lot of experts around!
I once lost my footing while doing sit ups on an inclined bench (at a rather steep angle, oh those were the days). I slid down the bench and whacked my head hard against the cement behind me. It hurt. I had a nice goose egg for a while, but I have never been able to get myself back on an inclined bench since!
Great work!

I hate falling in public. Once I was taking my kids to a skating for tots class where parents got to skate too, and we were standing listening to the teacher who was telling all how to keep still; ie, put your stopper down. Well I thought if one stopper works then both will be even better...never said I was smart (must be the extra weight oh sorry couldnt resist lol) Anyway, needless to say my feet went right out from under me and I landed on my butt. That in itself was embarassing enuf, but then the teacher hussled over to see if I was ok so the whole class was staring! That was the last skating class I took my kids to. lol
