“My doctor says I have ADHD, so I don’t want to risk anything”

“I was recently diagnosed with an enlarged spleen, so I’m out for the foreseeable future”

“I was at my cousins last weekend, and I was around lots of people smoking… so I have to take it easy.”

(Pointing to their arm) “My gastrocnemius is strained”

“I turn red when I run, I think I’m allergic to sweat.”

Quotes from Student Teaching:“So what’s wrong with you today?”

“I have too much dry skin on my legs and I don’t have any lotion”

“I fell this morning, and you might not see any cuts, but I’m pretty sure I’m bleeding internally”

(After opening lap): “My lips feel like they’re going to fall off and my eyelids are all hot”

“Mom said I have an inflamed patella (knee cap)!”

A note from the student (verbatim, and with not so great penmanship): “Please excuse Betty from gym today, her leg herts - Mom”

“My yoga practitioner said last night not to disrupt my Chi for at LEAST 24 hours.”

“My grandma has “very close” veins and says it’s genetic… I’m feeling pretty tight today.”

“My trainer gets mad if I participate in any unapproved activities. He is very large and fights MMA, so…”

“My legs are too long for these shorts, so until the 70’s come back… I’m out.”
