Pump (from Wiktionary) – An instance of the action of a pump; one stroke of a pump; any action similar to pumping.

In late January, I started walking outside again.  I simply could not face another lunch workout in the gym, staring out the window as my legs did a pump on the stationary bike.  I wasn’t the only walking outside – you can see here all kinds of people along the canal (I took this in February), their arms and legs doing a pump as they walked along briskly.  I come back to my desk feeling better for the fresh air and exercise, making for a more productive afternoon.
