I go every day at lunch. Co workers always express amazement that I go every day, but I don't know what else I'd do! We are all able to eat at our desks so I can't understand those who go out everyday. When I get back from lunch I quickly wipe myself down with unscented baby wipes and change back into my work clothes. I only choose not to go about 4 times a year when I'm not feeling well.

I think I still need to find that real motivator to get me into the gym (or on the trail as I enjoy walking outside a lot). Reading your blog helps a lot, though!

I hate gyms... instead, I just walk everywhere I possibly can. If something is within 3 miles, I don't even consider another form of transportation... I just put on good shoes and off I go.

I hate going to the gym cause I'm a grad student and a GTA, so I never have time. Plus, I am horrible at running/walking/biking on my own. It's boring, and I won't do it. With demandfitness, I can do my workouts at home any time I want (usually at 10 or 11 at night). There's a teacher right there motivating me, and there is also a huge number of classes to choose from (step, cardio kickbox, body sculpt, etc.). It costs money, but I consider it more of an investment in my own health and well-being. After all, if I keep myself healthy through exercise and a good diet (i.e., Weight Watchers online), then I hopefully won't have to pay as much later (when I have a lot more financial, personal, and professional responsibilities) for my health care.
