Sometimes I like to workout at work. I have a whole bookstore to myself with no windows and a solid door, so it's nice and private when I dont have to open yet! I can get to work early AND get my little aerobic workouts done! Yay!

Downside is, no shower facilities. I've never been a HUGE sweater but I'm paranoid about BO. There's only so much deoderant and bath and body spray can cover.. >_>

So do any of you have any tricksie ways to keep from stinking on the go/without immediate access to a shower? Sorry if this is completely gross, but I need to workout, and if this is what it takes? Then okay. just a little less offensive to the nose! :)

    I walk the stairs during my breaks, and I get sweaty too. First of all, you have to start off clean. If I'm running late and have to skip a shower that morning I skip the stairs. People don't need to breath my funk. Assuming I'm clean and showered though, after I finish I stop at the restroom and use paper towels to wipe the worst of it, then I sit at my desk with a fan blowing directly on me. I've found that as long as I can get dry quickly I don't stink. If you work in a bookstore I don't know if you can really sit/stand in one place for long, but that is really what makes it doable for me. Also...depending on how sweaty you get...can you change clothes? Actually the biggest problem I have is sweaty bra. It's not as bad since it's still cool, but as it gets hotter I might figure out a way to change bras before I go, so my regular bra doesn't get and stay funky.

    I will be watching this for other ideas...
