I think the one thing that helps us Europeans the most are bicycles.
In another video, you explained how Americans might consider a bike like "a toy you grow out off".
Currently, I'm changing from university to an apprenticeship and I can still use the bike that I got at the end of elementary school.

We were multiple times in the US already, doing Roadtrips including national parks - hking there, doing Sighrseeing in cities and we walked soo much the whole day. It's very common for germans and europeans, as you said.
When I am doing Sightseeing in Europe, I am also walking the whole day and multiple days in a row, because I want to see something. And if you walk, you see a lot more compared to drive with the car from spot A to B, which makes especially in cities no sense.
In between interesting spots, if they are far away anf in between is nothing special; we use a escooter or public transportation.
The best city in the US was San Francisco were we did the same thing, we used the bus to reach all the interesting spots. We felt like we were in Europe 😅. Anyway California feels a little bit like liitle Europe in the US.
But to come back to your topic; we were in Zion Nationalpark and the american ppl there were wearing hiking shoes and this walking stick and basically they were just "hiking" like an hour. This was kinda funny for us, because hiking like an hour is something we do in our sneakers anf standard street shoes. 😂 With that example you see how much 1 hour hiking is for the ppl. there and that it is something special for what ppl in the US think you need special clothing for

i would imagine that New Yorkers are used to walking as well, since it is always some sort of distances to the nearest subway station. German adults living in the countryside might not be used to walking as much as city dwellers, because the public transport is bad in thr country so they have to use their car for everything, just like the average American. I suppose it all depends on where you live.

Funny, as we returned in July 2024 from our first post Covid trip to Germany. My wife who was born in Germany complained about all the walking I put her through during the visit. We stayed in Frankfurt Gateway Gardens and took the train to the towns and walked to the sites. I had lived 16 years in Germany in my youth. At 61 I did not see a problem. On the other side she has had a knee replacement and they gave her the grandma modele and not the sport version.

There's also the factor that you simply CAN'T walk in many parts of the US - or at least not safely. Like, I have several friends who have grocery stores literally across the street, but going there on foot (without breaking any rules or putting themselves in danger) takes literally more than half an hour, because there simply is no crossing, bridge or any way at all for pedestrians to cross that street for like half a mile in either direction. So they need to walk for like half a mile along the street until they reach a crossing, cross, walk back half a mile and then repeat this process to get back home. So of course, they instead just hop in the car, which takes like two minutes and doesn't require them to carry their groceries for a mile after they've already walked a mile just to get to the store literally right across from their apartment building.
Basically: even if you're a couch potatoe in Europe, you'll be walking less in the US than you do at home, so there really isn't any reason to train for that. And on the flipside of that, even if you are a fairly sporty person living in the US, considering that you probably still drive absolutely everywhere because you simply have to, you might still need to train before your trip to Europe, where walking ten kilometres PER DAY is not out of the ordinary
