Lunchtime walk about

There's a lot to be said for getting away from your computer at lunchtime. It's occurred to me that not enough of us do it so I thought I'd write about the benefits.

• You get a screen break
• You can find out what's happening in the world around you
• The fresh air will calm your mind
• You'll burn calories
• You feel much happier when you get back to your desk and will consequently work better
• You can go with a friend and catch up on all the gossip whilst exercising
• When you get home in the evening you can feel satisfied that you have already done your day's exercise
• In the summer you can get a tan at the same time
• You can properly listen to all that new music on your iPod you haven't really heard yet
  

Basically there are so many benefits so tomorrow take a pair of flats to work and get out there and enjoy your lunch hour.
