Lunch Hour... Time To Move It, Move It



How do you typically spend your lunch hour? Sometimes we find ourselves stuck at our desk and don't make time for it. Other times we run our errands for the day, and when we find the time, we enjoy a lunch out with colleagues and friends.

On days when you feel sluggish at work or need a workout but don't have the time, I encourage you to take advantage of your "Lunch Hour"!  Schedule it as an appointment. Take  30-45 minutes to get your muscles moving. In the United States we have over 70 million people who are obese. Contributing factors clearly include lack of exercise along with the food we eat. We can't seem to find the "time".

Now your thinking what can I do during my lunch hour?
- Is there a place around your building where you can go walking or running?
-Do you have a park close by?
-Do the streets have sidewalks? Use them!
- Start a “lunch hour” walking club


Start thinking about options to get moving!
