As someone with perfectionist tendencies I'd say for some people it's perhaps best to enjoy walking aimlessly rather than seeking to optimise yet another part of life, at least at the start.

Personally I found this with running. It never became a consistent habit and something I looked forward to until I stopped thinking about where, when and how fast I was running and just did whatever I felt like. This realisation came after many years of trying and failing to stick to any kind of cardio exercise, and now a couple of years later I have a few half marathons under my belt and am training for my first marathon later this year. I attribute this entirely to the mindset change I described.
