I use the looking at the landscape and framing the right view for my
picture break, then there is the water break, which will soon lead to
more pit stops, followed by whatever interesting formation is to be
seen anywhere... I come home with lots of pictures, keep well hydrated
and enjoy the scenery.  But there is no substitute for training,
besides the actual cardiovascular benefits, it helps feet, areas of
chafing, and all the minor inconveniences taht could undo your pleasure
later
