GETTING PHYSICAL
Woman recording her workout at home suffers epic exercise fail when elastic resistance bands SNAP whipping her in the face
The woman writhed around in pain after getting caught by the bands on the cheek
EXERCISE can be dangerous when you don't know what you're doing.
All the heavy machinery at the gym, the stretching and straining, the muscle aches and post-pumping pain - it can be a nightmare.

The danger isn't necessarily just for beginners, even seasoned exercise fans can fall foul to dodgy equipment, like the Laura, the woman featured in this latest viral video.
In the clip, filmed on August 16, 2017, Laura can be seen working out on a mat in her living room.
The American used elastic resistance bands as part of her training when one completely snapped, flinging back and hitting her in the face.
Shocked by the sudden pain, Laura can be seen clutching her cheek and rolling over onto her side in agony.
She said: "In the middle of my workout using resistance bands, it snapped right into my face.
"It felt like I got punched in the face and was less than an inch above my right eye. I laid there for a bit, afraid to look.

"After I realised that my eye was OK and wasn't bleeding, I got up to check it out. Fortunately, it was just turned into a red whip line on my eyelid and under my eyebrow.
"From now on, I'm going to check the integrity of my resistance bands before each use. If you notice any holes or worn spots, dispose of them!"
