From personal experience, from a person who also enjoys hiking-- if you have a safe place to walk, then just walk. You don't need equipment to do what you want to do-- just walk. Start with shorter distances and gradually increase speed and distance over time. As a human, you are literally configured to be a walking machine-- go with it. If you are bored walking, try listening to a podcast or your favorite music while you do it. As long as you have a place to walk, don't ever believe anyone who tells you that exercise machines are required to be fit. PS: I owned a gym for more than 10 years, and made a good living selling access to machines-- I didn't use machines then, either.

Seconded. Be sure that you are having fun. This is the most important thing. If you're having fun, then you'll stay motivated, and keep building the habit!

Once you form a fun and healthy habit, then the rest will follow, and you can revise your plans based on what you like and don't like.

Best case scenario is to have a buddy to walk with. Motivate each other-- have fun-- be well!
