"without being a weirdo" -- Seems like shyness or shame is preventing exercise? Someone at my last job actually went jogging every lunch where the weather allowed. She wasn't perceived of as weird, just dedicated and others thought "Wow! Good on her!"

Ehh, like the other poster I think this is company culture dependent.

I've certainly worked places where exercising at lunch would get you labelled as anti-social. Of course, this is the same place that would cause snickers and thought people were "weirdos" for being vegetarian or even ordering healthier options of food.

I'm assuming the situation worked out to where she had access to a shower/space to change that didn't add significant time? That feels pretty dependent on the company, office locale, and availability of amenities.

No.

EDIT: LOL, I submitted that before finishing my thought.

It's just been my experience that people frequently remark on differences in the workplace and I just get tired of frequently explaining my habits to never gain anything from it.

I think doing push-ups during an all hands would go over better at home than at an office
