Like most of you on here I'm sure no matter how dedicated you are to keeping your fitness levels up and at a healthly level it can be hard to find the time to do so. In the past few months with all that has been going on around me I decided that I needed to find something to do during the day that I would be able to do to keep my fitness up . So I have started to walk . I walk instead of ride an elavator, I park the car far away and walk to where I need to get to ,, I must be walking about an extra hr a day now just by changing my thinking about walking . At my place of work I now have a built in fitness walk that I do on a daily basis, AND THE GREAT THING IS Im getting paid and getting fit at the same time. Anyone else on here that does on the job fitness ???? Would love to hear what you do.

Hi Challenger, way to go, fitting in fitness at work! I don't get paid to get fit, I take the elevator :( I work in a courthouse, and the basement level is a very smelly jail, and the stink from the jail permeates the stairway. Bummer, huh? And the parking lot is filled with criminals, so our employee parking lot is nearby, and security guarded. But I get in a good hour long jog before work, which is great because it invigorates me, and helps me feel strong, so I can stand up to all the bad asses I get to work with.

I do get paid to get fit--literally! If I go to the gym at work 10 times per month for 10 months, I get $100. My employer pays for my gym membership as long as I get measured and weighed in every 12 weeks, and I go to the gym on my lunch... I just started about 3 weeks ago, but I love it. Some days it is hard to get motivated (I would rather sit and relax and socialize) but once I am there, I feel great and I am always glad I went!

Walking is the best thing to do and its easy on doing anywhere..work or from home, indoors/outdoors...I am an advid walker and do 30-60 min daily...and my scale is moving down..

Keep up on your walking path!! YOU are doing great!! :)

I have a very physicaly demanding job. So I am always walking, running, lifting, climbing stairs. All day long. So when I get home I find it hard sometimes to want to do much else. But I know I need because I'm still very out of shape.
So after I get home, let the dog out, check all my eamail and facebook and here. (it gives me an excuse to sit for a while) Then I GOYA.
