What does Steiner mean when he says "build outdoor hobbies" as the key to vision improvement?

What does Steiner mean when he says "build outdoor hobbies" as the key to vision improvement?

Let me give you an example.

For about 6 months, I sailed once a week (2 hours per week) in addition to 3 hours daily walking. Didn't improve an inch. The sailing was a hobby, but clearly not enough of one?

Same with Gemilymez. She ended up quitting because her walks wasn't improving. Same with the YouTuber "Weeda".

How are some people improving and not?

I know my close up habits are exceptional as well.

I only really count vision improvement if you've improved at least 2 diopters, because honestly I contacted a guy from Steiner's podcast who ended up literally where I am (no improvement) despite improving initially (probably ciliary release)

How many have actually reached the finish line?

What does it REALLY take to get there? The sailing I used to do, for example, was clearly not enough.

This guy: https://endmyopia.org/johnny-5-50-to-no-glasses-2020-in-two-years/

He spent all days outdoors. And got back from -5.50 to 20/20.

Gemilymez spent 3-4 hours walking. And got plateaud. Same with me. Clearly the 3-4 hour rule isn't universal.

So how long/what outdoor habits does it really take?

Curious to hear your thoughts if you've actually improved significantly.

Thanks a lot guys.

I am very stressed abt my left eye

This is my last year's prescription. As the doctor recommended I continue with the old -4.25 lens in my left eye, I am still undercorrected. I am worried if my power has worsened to -5.25 or -5.5 because a month ago I got my eye checked by Lenskart's home test (casually, without an autorefractor) and he measured my left eye power to be -5.5. I want to be a machine learning engineer and I love gaming. How will I live my life, bro? I'm just 18 and I am very scared of treatments and all... I am very weak-hearted.
