Hey guys its me and im really excited because today i finally figured out a way to exercise at my work. Usually i just sit at my desk all day while my co worker takes breaks and stuff but today i got a brillant idea. See the stairs that lead into the lobby of our floor are great for going down but u cant go back up cause it locks you out. So today i went down the stairs to the lobby which is about 50 steps..then i waited in the lobby still bouncing or stepping side to side for an elevator to take me back up to the 3rd floor. Once the door was shut (if i was alone which was most of the times i went up) i do leg lifts or step side to side or a move that i learned while dancing in the musical which swings your legs out to your side. Then i professionally walk across the lobby and go down the stairs again! I did this about i dont 10 times from 10:40 to the top of the hour. Sometimes i even went all the way down the stairs to the parking garage which is 70 stairs then walked a lap around the parking garage. WOOHOO! Im going to do this twice a day once at 11:40 and once at 2:40. tomorrow im going to actually count how many stairs i manage to go down and get an accurate number. Isnt that a good idea??? so yah..im excited now i'll shush up lol good luck to all -mandi-

that is exactly like my office, i work on the 3rd floor and the door locks if you try to go up also, so i usually just go down, but sometimes i go down then up then back down. you should try that. i also do leg lifts in the elevator, sometime i will do arm circles.
