Walk, walk, walk. During your break, go out for a walk. Walk everywhere possible, to a copy machine, to go give someone something, anything. Invest in a pedometer
The minimum a person should walk is 10,000 steps! Also, get up every 15-20 minutes and do a quick aerobics like jumping jacks or jog in place. Who cares if you look silly? You'll get your exercise in!
