Plan a series of 3 to 5 minute breaks away from your desk for work-related errands. For instance, take the long way to the water cooler or copy machine. Plan a route that goes out in the hall rather than directly to your target. Climb a flight or two of stairs if possible. Walk briskly with your head up, shoulders back and arms swinging.
Got Something More Advanced?
If you have a 30 minute lunch break, spend 10 minutes walking briskly and 20 minutes eating. You'll get some exercise and have less time to eat which translates to fewer calories consumed!
