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.
