So, er, this is a real headline, and it's horrifying.
Part of walking as a practice (or in our case, a sacred Practice), is about mindset as much as anything else. Like, walking doesn't need to be "optimised", you don't need to "get" anything from it, that's not the purpose of a walk. The pleasure of a walk is stolen time: time where nothing can be accomplished or optimised or sold or perfected, it is freedom, rudderless, from the demands of the world.
