WalkBlock is a once-a-day gate: hit 6,000 steps and the apps you blocked stay open until midnight. Not minutes dripped out one hundred steps at a time.

1.0hr
Time and distance assume 3 mph and ~2,000 steps/mile, spread across the day — not one unbroken march. Most people already bank a chunk of steps incidentally.
