Don’t Die by the Machine – 8 Reasons to Walk During Lunch Every Day

“Movement is life.” – Gerry Lane (Brad Pitt) from World War Z

It started about 2 years ago when Clint, a co-worker of mine asked if I wanted to walk with him and another co-worker during lunch. Why not.

As we were walking, he mentioned that he had been walking for a little while now. He didn’t want to die by the machine (computer). That has stuck with me ever since. I sit at the computer at least 9 hours a day. It was refreshing to step outside and get that break.

I’ve made an intentional effort to walk during lunch almost every day. I usually go during lunch. I even take a walk in the middle of the Florida summer! Everyone thinks I’m crazy, but I feel better (after I cool down). 🙂

Did you know that taking a 30 minute walk every day can significantly improve your health and well-being? Just 30 minutes – It’s true! This is especially true if you sit in an office or in front of a computer all day.

Here are 8 reasons why you should take a walk at lunchtime –

On December 1st, I’m kicking off My21DayX (Experiments in Lifestyle Modification) by going 100% Primal…and the family is going with me!

Mark Sisson, author of The Primal Blueprint, defines it best:

The Basics
1. Eat real food.
2. Avoid sugar, grains, unhealthy fats, beans/legumes.
3. Align your carb intake with your weight goals and activity levels.
4. Move frequently at a slow pace: Get between 2-5 hours per week of moderate aerobic exercise.
5. Lift heavy things: Conduct 1-3 brief, intense sessions of full-body functional movements.
6. Sprint: Go “all out” once a week.
7. Get 8 hours of sleep every night.
8. Get 15 minutes of direct sun exposure each day.
9. Play! Find time to let go, disconnect, unwind and have fun each day.

Live a Continuously Improving Lifestyle

KAIZEN

“To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often.” -anon-

Kaizen (改善) is a Japanese phrase (word) that roughly translates to “continuous improvement”, a term used in the corporate world to implement small, incremental changes over time, typically focusing on efficiency and defect-proofing systems.

Kaizen emphasizes working smarter, not harder and developing best practices. Kaizen emphasizes working smarter, not harder and developing best practices. And the same principles can be applied to our lifestyle!

“Everything popular is wrong.” – Oscar Wilde, The Importance of Being Earnest

I will be turning 34 soon and I have never been happier, felt healthier, or been in better shape. It hasn’t always been like this. I used to follow the mainstream – “Do hours of cardio and stay away from fat to get and stay lean” or “work longer hours for more money”. It has been my experience that most of the time, conventional wisdom is wrong.
