I walk 10 mins every 1 to 2 hours and use that time to review. I try to find ways to solve problems in ways that are more fun, easier, and effective. So to me a 10 min break is a work requirement.

Ah, the old Walk-n-Talk meeting style.

If I could get Alan Sorkin's endorsement I'd sell it as a work out routine and make millions.

For breaks, I find letting my thoughts drift to be important. In fact, I try to avoid thinking about my work doing many of my walks/breaks (sometimes I can't help it though).

Doing a bit of low-key mindfulness and slowing my breathing has been very helpful as well.
