Why’s that? Personally I find it doesn’t compromise, but of course your mileage may vary. For me it’s a nice way to get a few kilometers in, and is better than sitting on the couch. Usually I’m watching a show or movie or YouTube regardless, might as well move while I do it.
Hey don’t try it if it sounds too scary to you. I was sharing my routine because the @TekMol asked about it, not suggesting it for anyone else. @angelbar’s audiobook suggestion is a good one; I do that too sometimes. And sometimes I do language lessons while walking instead of books or podcasts or movies.
For me, it’s very enjoyable and I can watch a movie; it isn’t hard to pay enough attention, and it isn’t dangerous at all. Never had a Netflix walk injury of any kind or any close calls, and I’ve had loads of minor scratches, slips, falls, bumps, rolled ankles, sunburns, etc. etc., while hiking in the mountains and paying full attention. Mountain hiking is much more dangerous than walking in the city looking at an iPad half the time (and I wouldn’t call mountain hiking ‘dangerous’).
