Just get a treadmill. Not as pleasant as walking in nature, among trees, or by a lake.

But beats walking in a crowded city or having to cross roads anyday.

I live in a place where it is too hot, and only time people can go on walks is dawn/pre-morning. As a night owl, I cannot do that. So I bought a treadmill.

It has been great for me and has served me really well.

The cognitive benefits mentioned in the article and what many of us know, you can derive that from treadmill walking. I can attest to that.

Great if that works for you, absolutely didn't work for me. We had one, and it was a soul destroyingly mind-numbing activity, second only to swimming laps. Rather than helping the mental state, it just left me angry at wasting time without any "letting your mind wander" external stimuli every single time.
