You can keep working with your (aka thinking) head while moving around. Sometimes change or setting can give birth to now ideas or approaches.

Not necessarily. I can sometimes take my problem with me and sometimes that's even the best thing to do, but not always and certainly not every 20 minutes. If you're in a typical office environment it's a complete non-starter as someone at the water cooler will smash your flow into tiny pieces.

Ok, but you don't need to do "every 20 minutes" every 20 minutes. Even trending your life in that direction is better than doing nothing about it. Surely there are times in your life where you find yourself immobile, where you don't really need to be immobile.

It’s not that hard to walk with headphones on and pretend you’re in a call.
