Recently my niece got married. Oh it was an exciting time. My sister was very nervous about the upcoming event and wanted to be a beautiful Mother of the Bride! First off she decides she needs to lose weight. So over to my house she came. She was going to use my treadmill and walk/run that flab right off. She had never been on a treadmill before so I gave her a quick tutorial on proper use of a treadmill. She is my older sis, so she thinks she knows much more than me lol. She gets on the treadmill and i turn it on for her. I start her out on 1, the slowest speed, and tell her to find her "legs". Then I instruct her to slowly increase her speed....but no no not her, she reaches up and cranks the speed up to at least an 8 or 9. Oh my God, the treadmill was running full blast, she was running her feet as fast as possible to keep from falling. I was screaming, "turn it down, turn it down." She without warning jumps off the treadmill sideways and twists her ankle.

Poor woman is about 50 pounds overweight. She was gasping and huffing trying to breathe. She finally made it to my living room and sat down on the couch. I watched her, wondering if I needed to call for an ambulance. She was not able to speak for 15 minutes. When she finally could speak.....she stood up and said, I love you but I'm going home now.

Her daughter got married but she never mentioned excercising to me again lol...........
