Gym/workout During Lunch hr?

Does anyone do it?

I have a gym around the corner from my job...would love to bang out a 45min workout but of course...coming back sweaty (if i do get all sweaty)...just a thought.

I wish I had this situation..What I would do is either do 30 minutes of cardio or get the weights out of the way and buy those wipes for your face so that you can freshen upChat Icon .....If you feel like you didn't do enough, there are always at home workouts you can doChat Icon

I used to work at a Company that had an in house gym- I would do 35 minutes then take a super fast shower.

But- I didn't do anything with my hair or makeup on a daily basis- I was working in the child care center.

I would love to that too! The only thing is, I used to work with a girl who worked out in the middle of the day and then came back to work. No matter how much she "freshened" up (I know she didn't shower afterwards), she still smelled like a sweaty sock.
I guess if you can take a quick body shower, it would definitely help. Chat Icon

I did this every day a few years ago when I had agym next to my office. I only did weights training so I wouldn't get too sweatey, then showered without washing my hair. It was the best schedule I had! I miss it!! Chat Icon

I used to do it. I'd take a quick shower and not wash my hair (not ideal but hey, it was worth it!)

So that you don't have to cart all your shower stuff everyday, I kept an extra makeup/toiletry bag in my desk with everything I needed. I also kept sneakers in my desk. That way you only have to carry your clothes with you. You can do a locker at the gym (they even wash your clothes at my old gym) but it's kind of expensive.

ETA: if i could still do it, i totally would. it TOTALLY breaks up your day and feels so good IMO.

TY everyone for responding...still debating it.

Situation is I dont belong to this gym..I am a member elsewhere so I was also avoiding any daily fee...esp since this gym is kind of...small and cheesy. Really not interested and possibily wont be going there during lunch often.

I called and the owner said I could get a free pass and I may just do 30 min of cardio.

that's a good idea...damp towel and then deodorant and underwear change.

I'm going to start doing this too. I used to do it a while ago and it really helped.

Re: Gym/workout During Lunch hr?

do it.

then jump into the shower just to wash the sweat off (2 mins..minus hair)

it's worth it.

I wish I could get myself back to doing it. I was so good about going to the gym when I went at lunch.
