Pick a Direction!

Short walks throughout the day help me burn calories, get some fresh air, and recharge me for my work.
Every 3 or so hours, I pick a direction and walk for 5 min. Then I turn around and retrace my steps. A quick 10 min at whatever pace you want works wonders! Try it a couple of times! 30

MORE INFORMATION:
This can be done with whatever you are wearing, and comfy shoes. Choose your own pace and direction! Explore the neighborhood!
