Working out AT work.

A bit of a pickle..

I want to start doing before work workouts.
BUT I carpool with my fiance so I wake up @515a drop him off and get to my work around 615a but cannot clock in till 7a.
I just realized that there is a dvd player in the conference room at work. I wanted to do my 30DS workouts here before work, I would be the only one here until 630, so I figured I could do that and just not clock in till I am done.


Thoughts about this?

It seems a bit shady to me. But then again I just sit in my car in the parking lot instead.

Thanks for the feedback

    I would say go for it. But then my workplace encourages things like this. What's the worst they are going to tell you? No? IF that's the case then perhaps you can come up with something that you can do in your office/cubicle (if you have either).

    Go for it!

    I wish my building had a gym, (other buildings across the country for my company have gyms, just not mine) So I do sprints up and down the hallway outside of my office. Yeah, I get funny looks, but I'm not doing it for attention or anything like that, just for me.

    If all you will be doing is sitting in your car, I would say take the initiative and do what makes you happy.

    Very true, I thought I would ask, but I feel like that would be awkward.
    My office is connected to the conference room, by a doorway.
    Its also open to the rest of the cubicles, its like receptionist sort of deal.

    I would go for it!! I actually do the shred on my lunch break in one of the larger rooms here that has a dvd player. Now there are four other girls here who do it with me.

    If you feel weird doing it there, do you have a computer that plays DVDs? You could always do it in your office if you have enough room!

    I think I am going to attempt it tomorrow... EEK.
    Wish me luck.
    I have just felt like I was wasting time just sitting there, while I could be doing something worth doing.

    Definitely go for it! Excellent way of sneaking a workout in.

    I too say go for it. The worst thing that can come of it is someone asking you to stop. Many workplaces encourage it. I do most of my workouts over my lunch break and the best part about that is I actually have paid lunch breaks. :)
