しごとのと中で、小まめに小休止をとってエクササイズをするようにしています。

Meaning Explanation

A stop that's just a rest (aka not permanent) isn't a straight up stop. You're planning on continuing again. That's why this is a pause.

Reading Explanation

This is a jukugo word, which usually means on'yomi readings from the kanji. If you know the readings of your kanji you'll know how to read this as well.
