I sit at a desk all day & would like to walk for 10-15 minutes at lunch. Is it better to do this before or after lunch?

    I too sit all day. I am trying to get up at least once an hour to walk around the building. We have a warehouse space so I am trying to go round it once or twice an hour

    I would base your decision entirely on personal preference.

    i work a desk job also, but i get paid time to work out so I walk 2-3 miles at lunch. i always eat my lunch first, usualy 1/2 hr or so before i walk. otherwise, i punk out during my walk and by the time I get back, i'm shaky, weak, famished and turn into a bear.
  • I don't think that it really matters when, it's up to you.
