When you have trouble staying focused during your workday, activities at home or your studies that could be a sign that you need an exercise break.  This does not mean you need to pack up and head to the gym!  For your exercise break, I am suggesting that you take a brisk walk, run in place or do some jumping jacks.  Just do something simple to give your self a break and get your blood pumping.
