Perhaps install a treadmill, with a desktop setup attached to it? [1]

Or, better yet, [2].

Walking a few weeks in the nature is precisely the point.

Humanity will have to figure something out here. Our bodies are evolved for hunting / gathering, yet over a few thousand years we've evolved to sitting in an office chair all day. Until our bodies have adapted to what, we need to come up with a way to simulate the environment we are actually optimized for.

That environment is still out there.

Treadmill. VR headset or at least a wall-projector. Nature soundtrack. Variable speed fan with heating, cooling, and automatic scent generator.

...And moving the soda machine 20 miles away.

7 weeks minimum vacation by law, so everyone has the time to stay healthy and sane (could do a 4wk-long hike/year and you still have 3wks left for regular vacations and other stuff, plus holidays off). Quickest and surest route from here to there.
