Working out too hard can have surprisingly severe consequences. Sure, everyone wants to get "swole" and "snatched," but if you hit it too hard, you could end up in a really bad spot.

TikToker @kofranco learned this the hard way. After her first spin class, she nearly lost one of her legs—all because she tried to go way too hard on the pedals.

After over three million views, Kaelyn, the original poster, shared more about her story.

"On September 15th, I took a spin class. Being someone who played sports all my life, I found it very strange that my legs immediately buckled when I got off the bike," she explained in an Instagram post.

"I felt like I couldn't move. My cousins were laughing at me but I knew something was wrong…"

"Fast forward to the night of the 16th," she continued:

"I am crying in pain. I went to the hospital that night. I was hospitalized for Rhabdomyolysis , and I will be sharing more information about this horrifying illness."
"I had to get emergency surgery to save my leg and my life."

Rhabdomyolysis (or Rhabdo) is a condition in which damaged muscle tissue releases its proteins and electrolytes into the blood, which can severely damage the heart and kidneys.

Rhabdo can lead to permanent disability or even death.

Thankfully, Kaelyn is alive and well, though still recovering. And she is on a mission to teach others how to put their own health first.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
