Weird question: Anyone utilizing their lunch hour to work out? I am thinking about it myself. +/- ?
Figure I can budget 30-40 minutes in the middle of the day most days with my current schedule.

Before Covid hit, two of my partners and I had a compact. Every Tues/Thurs we leave for the gym at 11:50. Dress out, work out, then hit the showers at 12:45 or so, then go eat a Subway b/c it is close and fast. If you order with the app at the gym, the sandwich is ready when you get there.CFTXAG10 said:

I really enjoy getting a workout during lunch, even if it is just power walking for a couple of miles. I figure it's time I would spend sitting on my ass anyway. I have, however, pushed myself into a routine of going to the gym to do real cardio for 30-40 minutes most days right after I feed the pets dinner. That requires a lot more planning on my part to eat dinner at a reasonable time, which also helps me make better meals.TAMUAG07 said:
I have the most consistency and best results with working out at lunch time.

Get out of my head!Quote:
I workout (cardio or lifting) in the evenings during the week. I feel SO much better when I leave work for the day if I get my lunch time walk in. When I don't walk, I feel sluggish, have brain fog, and it's so much harder to get my workout going. Bonus is I ALWYAYS hit/exceed my move goal for the day if I get my walk in. Mentally, it makes it easier to press through my workout if I know I'm going to meet my goal.
Good advice. Also, you can't outrun a bad diet. Weight loss begins in the kitchen.bagger05 said:
Reminder: the best workout plan is the one you actually do.
Yeah, in order to have a meaningful workout (and eat), it's about an hour and a half lunch.RustyBoltz said:
With only an hour lunch and no showers at the office, I could never make a lunch workout feasible. It's too rushed, and my temperature doesn't come down quick enough so even if I did manage a shower, I'm still sweating when I got back to the office.
Instead, I've slowly worked back to get w/o and cardio in first thing.
At lunch I may walk after eating, do some stretches or light core exercises and/or take a 15min nap.
