I wonder if it only works for a dedicated walking time (e.g. walk for 3 miles nonstop) or also for bursts of short walking during the day. I consistently get 3-5 miles of walking per day due to chasing kids around, taking short breaks during work, and doing chores, but rarely actually have a 30+ min sustained walk.

Benefits to both I think.
A sustained walk maximizes digestion and subconscious problem-solving benefits. Short bursts, especially w/ kids involved, maximizes spiritual fulfillment.
Both are probably great for metabolic health.
