A Budget Workout for Busy People

Posted on January 11, 2012 3 Comments

I just spent 30 minutes over my lunch break running stairs in my 12-story office building. I managed 50 flights (up and down) during the 30-minute period. The great thing is that this workout is FIERCE and costs nothing. And now my evening at the Bulls game (free tickets!) will be truly guilt-free. Score.

The bad thing is that I am now sitting at my desk, legs feeling like jello, sweating profusely in my office clothes, red-faced. Oh god, please make it stop.  I am chugging ice water in hopes of cooling myself down, but the sun is beaming in through my window and with the temperature a balmy 46 degrees, I look like a disaster. At least I don’t have any important afternoon meetings.

    Well done on the exercise!! :-) And yes, those stairs do give a great workout!!

    But perhaps you should keep some workout clothes you can change in and out of quickly when you’re doing this at the office ;-)

    lol, I did have windpants and gymshoes on, and was wearing a shirt that goes under my sweater, but I was still so so sweaty when I changed that my office clothes got all nasty for a minute there! Yes, I def need to keep some extra clothes here :)
