Move!

REMEMBER your lunch break is yours to do with as you wish,

so there’s no reason to feel guilty about reclaiming it. In fact,

stepping away from your desk is likely to help you do your job

better, benefitting your mind, body and soul in the process.

NO MATTER THE ACTIVITY, research shows moving your body

during your lunch break, even for a few minutes, can help reduce

stress, maintain good mental health and make it easier to sleep.

“Whether it’s a short exercise class or a quick walk around the

block, moving your body can improve mobility and release muscle

tension,” says Austin Wilks, a trainer with online fitness platform

InstructorLive (Instructorlive.com). “Your posture gets reset, your

mind is allowed a break and your mood is most likely enhanced,

all of which will help you feel better for the rest of the working day.”

To keep motivated, Wilks suggests doing the activity before you

eat lunch. “This will give you an incentive to get going as soon as

your break starts,” he says. “And remind yourself that when it’s

cold and dark, it’s better to exercise at lunch time because it frees

up your evening for more homely, cosy things.”
