My office is between my kitchen and the bathroom so the commute isn't exactly onerous

However when the sun is shining I'll take a 20 minute walk a few times a day through the country, or I'll take an 40 minute long walk to a nice cafe for lunch.

If it's pissing it down then I won't.

Working from home doesn't stop me from choosing to go for a walk, or run, or bike ride, or horse ride, before starting work.

Is it not possible for you to go for a walk from the office?
Probably, but part of the point they're probably making is that they can spend the time normally used for the commute to take the walk.
I don't have an "office", but in my experience, and when I do visit various offices around the world, offices tend to be surrounded by buildings and traffic and shops, and tend not to be surrounded by fields, mountains and lakes
My office is next other office buildings, with a few scraggly trees planted in the parking lot. Not exactly a great area to enjoy nature.
