The most likely thing to do is to open up your browser and fuzz your brain on whatever internet distraction you like.
The smarter thing to do is literally anything that gets you out of your chair. Your body needed the break long before you’re brain succumbed to whatever fatigue.
And if you’ve been working in an office (or classroom) for a while, your body has probably gotten especially good at hiding its need for movement.
Now that you have the freedom of remote work, I strongly suggest that you do not let that habit continue.
