If that doesn't work, try riding a bicycle. You can adjust the pace depending on how you feel, and see a lot more than you would on a regular walk. If you pack a lunch, you can go pretty far, relax in a nice place, and head back.


Warning though: this requires amazing bike infrastructure. In most places in the US, cycling on the road can be an extremely stressful experience.


Same for walking- in many towns there is no sidewalk which forces anyone walking onto the gutter.

For bike trails, there is an effort to connect Maine to Florida called the East Coast Greenway: https://www.greenway.org/

Having used it myself, it's not continuous but certainly better than nothing.


How's biking in US outside of big cities? Cause it's the best place to bike in my country (Poland).

You just leave the city and turn to any random small road and you can relax. My favorite are the farming land near Lublin. 30 minutes from the city center there are roads where you pass 1 car per hour :)

And dangerous, too.


Yes, we are truly spoiled here in Germany


You can use a stationary bike


I remember Taleb being really harsh on bike riding which he derided as “unnatural”. Though I can imagine his position being too extreme. I don’t think his proposed alternative of weightlifting is very “natural” either.
