walking break
Brief ambulatory pause
A walking break is a short period of walking inserted into another activity, typically sedentary work or intense exercise.
Office workers take walking breaks to counteract prolonged sitting: I take a five-minute walking break every hour.
Runners use walking breaks as a training strategy, alternating between running and walking to build endurance or manage pace during long distances.
