When you "go for" something, you are making a decision to pick that thing. It's like when you see a menu and you decide which food you want to eat. You are choosing or selecting that specific item.
Remember, "go for" is used when making a choice, not just any action. So, don't say "I go for a walk" unless you mean you are choosing to walk as an activity.
