Use your lunch hour for workout

If you’re not a morning person and dread going to the gym during the hectic post-work rush hour, why not exercise smack bang in the middle of the day instead? Spend 30 minutes of your time going for a brisk walk. If you weigh 56kg or more you will burn a minimum of 135 calories by walking at 4mph for 30 minutes. Doing this each day on your lunch break will give you two-and-a-half hours of cardiovascular training per week.
