Does anyone work out at work?

I'm beginning to think I'd be more likely to finish a good workout if I did it while still in my office after work, instead of going home and getting comfy. Any thoughts? 4 weeks out -28lbs

My work has a gym, but over crowded, so on my breaks I go for walks outside. I think it is a lot easier working out after work because like you said, once you're comfy, you don't wanna.

My work has a small gym but hardly anyone uses it. I use it on my lunch break. We get an hour and I only need about half that, so I get on the treadmill when I want to. But my office building is right next to a hotel with really nice grounds, so as the weather improves, I'll take my walks outside.

I don't do anything but treadmill there and I have a gym membership for more intense workouts. I think for me it's just a privacy thing - everyone walks by the gym on the way out, and I just don't like being "on display" like that!

I was thinking about closing my office door and working out in there, like cardio DVDs and such. My work also has a small gym but no one uses it and everyone walking by can see everything.

I think I'll try it tomorrow. See how that goes!

Yes, I work out at work everytime I am there. I have 5lb dumbells that I lift while I sit at the computer (in between calls) & I also have something similar to a "Thigh Master" that I use on alternate days. I wear 5lb ankle weights all day on my "leg days" & also walk on my breaks. Whew...yeah, that's what I do. I decided about 4wks ago that I'm tired of sitting all day at work & not getting anything out of it.

I work at a bakery so I can't exactly do anything at work and I'm on my feet all day anyway. But my sister has an office job and she uses her work gym sometimes but she prefers to go to the park across the road from her work on her lunch break or after work and do a boot camp style circuit workout.

I think it's a good idea to go before or at work because afterwards you just want to relax.

If you have some workouts on DVD that might be a good idea but people might think your a bit strange if they walk into your office and your doing Zumba or something haha

Lol yeah this is true. I will definitely shut my office door, maybe lock it too.

I walk on my lunch hour, I have something small to eat then grab my water and walk walk walk :)
