I'm retired now but when I was working, I took a walking break with a friend each morning. We worked on a college campus so if the weather was bad we went through buildings, climbing stairs and limiting our outdoor exposure.

I walk at my break too, but if it's rainy, I hit the stairs at work instead!

I have found having someone to go walking with keeps me motivated to do it. My friend at work and I walk on our breaks. It gives us time away from work and gives us time to grip and blow off steam from the stressors at work. We even find the more gripping we do, the faster we walk.
