Jaimie is going a Lunch Walk. Is this a thing? Who does this?

We have quite a few people at the hospital who go on lunch walks.

I’m like a puppy..I need to go for a walk mid day or I’ll start chewing on the furniture. 

New York Times, Jan 21, 2015, reported on a study led by professor of exercise science at Curtin University in Perth, Australia, Cecilie Thogersen-Ntoumani - later published in the Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports.

The study study found "that even gentle lunchtime strolls can perceptibly — and immediately — buoy people’s moods and ability to handle stress at work.

As a pleasant, additional outcome, all of the volunteers showed gains in their aerobic fitness and other measures of health at the completion of their 10 weeks of walking."

Of course, it  might be just another way to escape the office bullies, gossips, politics and the sexual harassment from some males who have no social nous.

I walked two miles everyday during the middle of the day for years.  Our building was outside the city with a large lake and a track around the lake.
