It really helped reduce the swelling in my legs and also helped control my weight gain during the last trimester. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise-during-your-lunchbreak#post-300497 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 21:01:40 +0000 PrincessBaby 300497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish! My workout is a little over an hour, then even to remotely get myself presentable again it'd probably be 45 mins or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise-during-your-lunchbreak#post-300467 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 20:39:04 +0000 Mommy Finger 300467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a gym in our building with a really nice locker room but I haven't seen the inside of it in months. I plan to go more after the baby comes. Most days I'm stuck at my desk but I should make it a priority. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise-during-your-lunchbreak#post-300382 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 18:14:38 +0000 BeachMama 300382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to go walking duirng my lunch break. I HAVE to get outside or else the day just seems way too long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise-during-your-lunchbreak#post-300221 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 15:20:02 +0000 Ms. Fairy Wings 300221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, a new pilates studio opened right after I stopped pumping so I go almost every day. The classes are 50 minutes so perfect for my 1 hour break! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise-during-your-lunchbreak#post-300189 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 14:59:25 +0000 KT326 300189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a gym and locker room at my workplace.... I really should start making use of it. I lost all the baby weight already but I was about 25lbs heavier than where I wanted to be before I got pregnant. Time to lose it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise-during-your-lunchbreak#post-300186 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 14:57:12 +0000 autumnlove 300186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I walked to the shoe store today! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise-during-your-lunchbreak#post-299709 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 11:35:44 +0000 Alivoo01 299709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't because the time it takes to work out then shower and get my hair all presentable again takes much longer than an hour! I do enjoy walking to get lunch if I don't bring it though. Just refreshing to get fresh air after sitting at my deskk ALL morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise-during-your-lunchbreak#post-299639 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 11:02:26 +0000 mediagirl 299639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>HA HA HA. No. I have a 30 minute lunch that I don't take now since I pump all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise-during-your-lunchbreak#post-299623 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 10:58:20 +0000 LuLu Mom 299623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I hate the feeling of being gross/sweaty when I return to work sitting in a skirt/dress and nylons. I will go for walks on breaks though without breaking a sweat. I know some consider it a myth, but I'm trying to walk a bunch to get things moving with this baby! ha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise-during-your-lunchbreak#post-299603 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 10:48:25 +0000 DillonLion 299603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I plan on it once the baby is born and o return to work. There isn't going to be any other time in our schedules to do so. I'm planning to ask myboss if I can work an extra 30 minutes each day so I can take a long lunch break where I can workout, freshen up, and eat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise-during-your-lunchbreak#post-299566 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 10:33:58 +0000 wheres_c 299566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before I got pregnant, I used to play racquetball at lunch. The YMCA is right across the street, and employees here get a free membership.</p> <p>Now, I don't really do any exercise :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise-during-your-lunchbreak#post-299558 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 10:31:14 +0000 blackbird 299558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only get 30 minutes, so no. I get enough exercise outside of work, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise-during-your-lunchbreak#post-299554 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 10:30:58 +0000 Andrea 299554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, I've always done that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise-during-your-lunchbreak#post-299548 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 10:29:34 +0000 mrskc 299548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When the weather is nice, I like to take a 1/2 hour walk on my lunch break. I wish I had a door to my office so I could exercise when the weather isn't nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise-during-your-lunchbreak#post-299503 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 10:09:05 +0000 looch 299503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to. I would have to leave a classes a bit early in order to make sure I could shower and dry my hair to a decent level, but I never put on makeup again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise-during-your-lunchbreak#post-299500 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 10:08:31 +0000 tororojo 299500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Now that the weather is starting to cool off, I take walks on my lunch break sometimes. I figure every little bit helps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise-during-your-lunchbreak#post-299468 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 09:53:43 +0000 MamaMoose 299468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well.... I basically do nothing even remotely athletic since getting pregnant since I've had so much bleeding. But prior to that I always did my workouts before or after work. I get really red in the face when I work out and it takes me a while to cool down, so I would never be able to get in a good work out and still be presentable to come back to the office all within an hour. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise-during-your-lunchbreak#post-299465 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 09:51:27 +0000 autumnlove 299465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am no longer pumping so I have time to go out and eat with coworkers or exercise when I'm at the office! </p> <p>Do you exercise during your lunchbreak? </p>
