WASHINGTON—According to an alarming report published Monday in the Journal Of Applied Physiology, three quarters of a million Americans die annually during their first attempt to get back in shape. “We found that, each year, about 225,000 out-of-shape Americans collapse and perish within the first three minutes of attempting to start jogging again, with most typically not making it to the end of their own block,” said study co-author Kathy Lyons, adding that a further 60,000 Americans who decide to improve their health by swimming laps succumb to overexertion every year and sink to the bottom of the pool and drown after just a few strokes. “Perhaps most troubling, our data show that 60 percent of Americans who commit to regaining their former level of physical fitness by hiring a personal trainer at a gym drop dead almost instantly during their first abdominal crunch. And another 30 percent die while stretching before they even begin their workout.” The study further noted that, of the Americans who managed to survive their first attempt at exercise in years, nine in 10 suffered from debilitating pain for the rest of their lives.

I thought you guys thought that any weight is healthy?

I heard that chasing cock...I mean chickens...in the street can help you get in shape real fast.

*final attempt

I'm trying to get into casket shape

Monarchy is bullshit. 👎🏽

If you do the conversion based on weight, that's 2.25 Million Frenchmen/women or 2.5 Million Spaniards.

I can relate.

Gym employees on January 1st

Thanks Onion, relaxing our drives towards vanity through logic and terror.

Colin Murray?

Bhahahabhahhhaaa!!!! *choke*

Oh?

That’s why I refuse to work out - it’s majorly risky. Sometimes you just have to accept that you’re a big person.

I wonder of they would have tried had they known they werent gonna make it - Deep Thoughts

This sounds plausible

I did it, I survived!

So....you are just trying to keep people out of your gym, with these falsehoods? I hate the newbies too but I enjoy seeing people stick it out and change.

The Purge

TomTSEC That settles it then..

Ironically, this is going to prevent a lot of people from getting in shape 😂

Gonna play it safe and stay in bed all day. For my health

5potter Could be me lol

I die every time I even look at gym equipment

Oh you bastards.

I'm a Survivor!

Hahahaha!

I'm praying Trump has an urge to get back in shape.

Sounds like it could be true.

'FINGERS CROSSED!'

Probably wont kill you but why take a chance? XD

Quitters

I wonder what the number of deaths not working out is? 🤔

That’s bull crap numbers

Why are all your stock photos only of white people?

Thoughts and prayers.
