The office problem
8 hours sitting. It's the reality for millions of French people. The body isn't built for it. The lunch break is your chance to get moving.
Maths
- 30-minute break = 2500-3500 steps
- That's 25-35% of your daily goal
- Over a week = 12,500-17,500 bonus steps
Optimum organization
The quick but healthy meal
Prepare the day before. A balanced meal that can be eaten in 15-20 minutes:
- Mixed salad
- Homemade sandwich
- Rest of dinner
30-minute walk
Right after lunch (or before if you prefer):
- Get out of the office
- Walk around the neighborhood
- Avoid shopping malls (temptations)
Typical routes
Around the block
Simple, fast, predictable. You know the exact time.
The park loop
If you have a park nearby. More pleasant, greener.
The race to the races
Combine walking with micro-shopping (pharmacy, bakery).
