(Could be walking, climbing stairs, Yoga, swimming, or whatever you like.) Excessive sitting at a computer is not without its price to pay. I've noticed that when I'm at my laptop for too many hours, my lower back feels really stiff and if I'm working on some really complicated stuff I actually start to feel kind of dizzy and hyper. That's when I take a break and walk a few blocks or do some Yoga. ( I love to stand on my head.
