Assuming you're not too far from the great outdoors, you can just get yourself off your screen reading Slashdot entries over lunch and go out running or walking at a fast pace for a half hour. I found running or walking is just about the simplest thing you can do : no need for a gym or for sophisticated equipment,except good shoes and proper clothing.
I started doing that 2 years ago (I run 4-5 km 3 times a week at lunch) and it does a LOT of difference. You need to set a few things straight though. The first things is : *always* fit your schedule to avoid being refrained from doing your noon jogging periods. You will always find a good reason to skip a training session if you don't do that. When I have people to take care of on a day I'm supposed to run, I politely let them go have lunch by themselves while I do my thing. I found it's probably as good NOT to go to lunch to do more of the same thing (e.g. talk about work) than to impose a mutual break. Just make sure you have a good deodorant if you can't take a shower though;-) I'm not running today because I was sick last night. Otherwise,I wouldn't be commenting:-) Oh and if you do run : do NOT forget to stretch after.
Good luck !
