Getting Back Into Shape While At The Office?

rhuntley12 writes "Personally, I sit at a computer desk for 10 hours a day with very little actual work. I've also started to get a little belly and out of shape. I know it's real bad in my office, especially with all the beer I consume. What do you do to stay in shape? Any secrets? Recently I've started to do sit ups, push ups, and running up and down the stairs. I get a lot of odd looks, and would prefer something that doesn't make the whole office stare at me. I've looked through some websites with equipment, but it's all serious equipment I can't/won't lug into work. Any suggestions?"

    According to my med student girlfriend, the kidney problem is related to too much protein, not fat. Apparently kidneys have a problem processing lots of protein.

    My fiance woke up one morning and decided she was gay. She "married" another girl, eight months later. I have no social life, no friends, nor any interests that would lead to either (literally, I can go three or four days without speaking to anyone). I work 90 hours+ a week (not much else to do), and my jobs are generally located in excess of 25 miles of my home.

    I am severely allergic to grass, dust and about twenty different molds. Outside is not a pleasant place to be for me (I keep surgical masks by my front door, in my car etc, just in case).

    And no, I'm not kidding about any of this. It's all rather specific to my situation in life, but as I said before, there are probably thousands of folks in a place similar to mine.
