Stuck inside? That's no excuse!

I often find it hard to motivate myself to the gym after a long day at work, so I've decided to do the next best thing; exercise at work!

This isn't for everyone, and it really depends on the kind of work that you do. My job I'm inside a gate house for 8 hours a day, and in the winter it gets very, very slow. This means I can do any number of standing up exercises, and a lot of pacing.

I've used the app Map My Run to help me figure out how long and for how far I've been walking, all while confined to the limits of the gate house. I don't have a lot of space, so the GPS distance might not be accurate, but getting the workout done is what counts.

I also struggle with boredom while pacing the small area, so I try to commit to just a half hour and no longer. I've found that having a time commitment helps me, because I can count down to when I'm done.

Being in such a small area, the ending map of my walk looks a little funny, but what's important is that I walked for a good half hour and any exercise is good exercise!

The map is a bit off. I was only in one of  the gate houses, but the map suggests that I not only left the gate house I was wandered in the next one. Not the case! So it means I may not have walked the half mile the app told me I did, but that's ok.
