Elaborate on 'I'm not certain the benefits add up'

  He wants to have done it but needs an excuse to keep from doing it.

  My interpretation is that GP is observing that the benefits do not scale linearly. Most of the exercise benefit happens after a relatively short walk. The extra two hours a day for a long walk is expensive in time, but doesn't multiply the benefits 3x.

    Exactly this! Thank you for explaining this better than I did.

    Walking is nice in that it's low-impact, although it's probably much more time-efficient to do a shorter, higher intensity exercise like running. (Saying this as someone who primarily walks and never runs)
