Working out during work?

I used to do my cardio after work, but my strength training at lunch for this exact reason. Strength training didn't cause me to sweat nearly so much!

My coworker told me that she does strength training on her lunch break for this reason. When I've been researching, it seems like not a lot of people do cardio unless they have a two hour lunch or longer.

I used to walk with a friend in the afternoons, usually a 1-1.5 miles. It was a good way to make sure I kept moving during the middle of the day, was a good mental break, and she was a great accountability buddy because we HAD to go. But my friend got pregnant, so our power walk became shorter and shorter strolls. Then she lost her job with our company, so I lost my walking buddy (and most of my motivation). I sadly haven't been able to find another walking buddy and don't have the discipline to force myself to go alone. :(
I'm fortunate to have a small gym onsite at work and I've considered mid-day workouts there. But I'm REALLY paranoid about the hot and sweaty (thus, smelly) thing. I realize I shouldn't knock it until I try it, but I haven't yet (and, in fact, am considering canceling my gym membership, but that's another topic for another time)

My coworker said she would walk with me, which I think it both sweet and somewhat terrifying. She can be somewhat intimidating, so I'm curious if I DO walk with her, if something will come out or not.

That similarly happened to me. Used to walk with someone, then our company closed and we're nowhere close to each other now. Walking/running buddies are hard to come by! I always get jealous when someone has people to work out with.
