That same issue was a barrier for me when I wanted to establish an exercise routine. The thing that really helped was turning "a walk to nowhere" into "a walk to the grocery store." I started daily shopping with a backpack to carry what I buy. Fortunately (?) I don't live in an especially dense area. A round trip to the grocery store is 4 miles. At the same time I started spending noticeably less on gasoline. I'm a remote worker and once I started doing most of my shopping on foot I found that I was only refilling on gas every 2 months.

There's even an exercise that people put rocks into their backpacks and walk around, they call it rucking I think. I could never do that, but bringing the groceries, sure! Time spent in the car is wasted, time spent walking for groceries is well spent. Moving back to my hometown of 400k people, I found I don't even need a bike: I can get almost anywhere in an hour's walk!
