Stress reduction
When I get stressed out at work, I run even harder during my lunch workout. After a morning of answering 50 emails, I get on the treadmill and turn up the music loud and don't even think about work. I just run.
When I get back to my desk I feel better. I have a fresh mind and I can get back into the job. But if I eat at McDonald's and sit for an hour, I come back feeling guilty about the food and the wasted time. That's not the path I want to take. It's better to exercise and have a protein shake at my desk.
