Sick of spending your lunch break

eating a sad salad ‘al desko’ while you

catch up on clearing your inbox? Fear no more, we’re here to help you figure out how

to make the most of your lunch hour!

GO FOR A WALK

Not just to the local shop, a proper walk. Research your office’s local

neighbourhood and plan a walking route in advance. Stretching your legs

at lunch time is excellent for increasing productivity and giving you a break from your computer screen. Plus, it’s completely free!

SEVEN

VISIT A LOCAL FOOD MARKET

Venture to a food market, explore and try new cuisines. Not only will you

have add a little variety to your usual lunchtime routine, you can also stock

up on fresh food for later on, sparing you from going to the supermarket

after work. Plus, it’s the perfect excuse to get some cakes in for the office! Track down your nearest food market at Localfoods.org

SIX

JOIN A LUNCH TIME EXERCISE CLASS

Save yourself a trip to the gym later by taking in a lunchtime exercise class.

Getting your blood pumping at lunch time will give you more energy and

fight off those 3’o’clock sugar cravings. Gyms nationwide now offer lunch

break fitness classes, and a number of organisations will even bring the gym to you, offering 40 minute training sessions with fitness coaches.

FIVE

LEARN A LANGUAGE

Ever wanted to become fluent in another language? Spending your lunch

break in a language lesson is an extremely beneficial way to spend an hour, and will add a valuable skill to your CV. Companies such as

Languages at Lunch will even bring the lessons to your office!

FOUR

READ A BOOK

Escape from work for an hour by getting lost in a good book. Treat yourself

to a new book, head to a nearby green space and let the world go by

while you read a few chapters. Just remember to keep an eye on the time.

THREE

GRAB LUNCH WITH YOUR COLLEAGUES

Go out to lunch in a restaurant while you get to know your colleagues.

Spending your break with people you work with is an excellent opportunity

to check out local restaurants while enjoying some team bonding. Of

course, eating out regularly can become expensive – If you have a Taste

Card, make sure you check out any nearby offers!

TWO

GO ON A DATE

Lunchtime dating is becoming increasingly popular among professionals as

it provides a relaxed, casual environment to meet new people, while still

leaving your evening free for seeing friends, or just enjoying a relaxing night

in. Websites such as lunchdating.co.uk and onlylunch.com are specifically

designed for singles looking to date in their lunch break.
