one of the best working situations I had was being 3 miles from work. Walking was a nice workout and faster than most folks commutes. Would pass 3 parks btw during the stroll that had water fountains in the summer. If I was running late could bike it which was so quick it felt I was getting off my bike just after I got on. If the weather was bad or I just felt inclined to the bus was a straight shot.

Only dumb thing is if you are prone to sweating. I wouldn't be able to do your routine not out of fitness issues, but because my body just flips on the sweat switch (tm) when I do anything above 20 °C. Then you need changing rooms with a shower at your workplace.

Yep, I sweat like a horse, doing anything. I'm not a fat bastard, I've been like this since I was a kid.

I know people that workout during lunch. I ain't got time to eat, workout, and shower - not just "rinse off", my ass needs a shower.

I've done walk to work occasionally with on-site visits where the hotel was close to the client... In the winter. Summer? No fucking way.

That really ought to be mandated by the building code. BRB, calling my city councilperson.

~~Edit: nvm, it's lunchtime. I've got to wait an hour.~~

Edit 2: done.

Wow, sounds like you've given up a lot of freedoms. Damn 15min cities!
