Excellent idea. Not only do you get exercise, one face to face conversation can eliminate 20 emails. (At least for the people asking stuff of me.)

And meetings, lots of meetings. Your desk will look real good afterwards.

I write down a list of stuff to do that day, so I always have a few choices after finishing something.

I take a walk in the afternoon to get my blood flowing and wake me up.
