I found excuses for myself to walk and it's made a difference. YMMV depending on what's around you, but like my friend and I walk to a nearby coffee shop for our lunch dates, and I've got a decent walk to get to the gym, which impacts how my legs/back feel hugely.

Even just walking to a corner store to get a sparkling juice or whatever is nice.

You got anything like that where you're at?

I used to do that but using eating out as an excuse to walk ends with me spending a lot more money on eating out than I should.

I do have a few things within walking distance, but it's like, a gas station and a restaurant. I do walk to those when I need to, but I try not to go off I can help it, just to save money. (That's another frustration - that every reason to get out costs money.)

Sadly, there's a grocery store just outside "walking range" of my house. The last place I lived, I loved walking to the store every day for fresh groceries, but here it just isn't feasible.

Fortunately I should be moving soon, though, and this is all definitely going to be in mind when we choose a place.

Damn is that the suburbs? Yeah, try to find a place with more walkable/bikeable amenities if you can, for your next place.

The only other thing I can think of is try finding a bench a ways off to read on, or just listen to audio books or something
