Lunch Time Work Outs

Ew!

About the only workouts I do at lunch are swimming, and even then I at least rinse off in the shower before returning to work. I couldn't imagine doing something where i truly work up a sweat, then get dressed and go to work without showering. Pretty nasty, especially if he's returning to an office.

What's a quick shower take, about three minutes?

I shower quickly afterwards. However, I have to be honest - there have been times I snuck in a run and didn't have a shower available. Just had to splash on the juju and smile

I do typically rinse off after lunch workouts. However they are normally swims, so it's not like I'm all sweaty. Just chlorinated.

Most of the time my lunch workouts are a swim also, so a shower is just natural at that point.  Besides, I want my gear to last, so I like the chlorine (or salt depending on the pool) out of my suit, off the goggles, etc.

However sometimes I do work with a trainer doing some core and/or weights.  Then it's a quick shower because no one in the cubes near me want to smell that. 

I guess I'm lucky though, I don't wear anything dressy for work and don't deal with customers (sometimes not even a co-worker for the day)... it's typically shorts, t-shirt, and Chacos for me.

I work with 4 females in my office. They would not let me back in the office if I did not shower.

If I couldn't shower, I wouldn't do the workout.  That being said, my workplace is pretty flexible and if I take a little longer than an hour, I can just stay a little later or come in earlier.

Mostly I swim... but always shower. I never did hair or makup anyway, so it's pretty quick for me.

I shower, but in the summer it is hard to stop sweating.  Occasionally, I leave a puddle in my office in the afternoon.

Glad to see zero % on the do not shower options, but I have people at work who skip the shower after a workout. Mostly the weight lifters.

Caveat - I do not re-wash my hair.  I blow dry it to dry the sweaty sections.  I wash my face, but not my eyes (that way I do not have to re-apply eye make-up).  On days that I have meetings in the afternoon, particularly with management or customers, I will re-apply some make-up, but that takes me 2 mins.

No one has ever commented on my appearance in the afternoon nor have I gotten any strange looks, so I think my plan works.  It seems like most of the women in my office do the same thing.

I've done both. Now, my gym is 1/3 of a mile away, so I just shower and walk back to work. But when I have worked places w/out a shower, I do a sitz bath in the restroom and just go back to work.

I'm female, BTW.

Same for me.  I don't care so much about hair and makeup, so I can get a lunch workout in and shower.

Well - It seems like I win this argument!  I wonder if the results would be the same if I did the poll over at Lets Run? DH only runs.  I don't know if he has shower available.   He never smells really bad but his car does LOL.

I usually have no access to a shower so it is washcloth wipe down and towel off.  Or is that tmi.
