If you're enough floors up: descending in an elevator then immediately ascending by the stairs works wonders for the sedentary body, and the mind. I also do this sometimes when hacking through lunch to trick my mind's context, then reverse the journey to start the afternoon.

I assume the benefit is partly the fact you're taking a break for an extended period of time away from the computer, so why wouldn't you just walk down the stairs and get the elevator up?

To combat the sedentary effects of sitting at a desk >8h/day and get the blood flowing. I find the physical effort mentally reinvigorating.
