Strength training changed my body more than walking did. I still walk, but lifting made me feel stronger.

Walking helped me build consistency. I did not lose a ton from steps alone, but it got me moving every day.

The best results came when I stopped treating it like either-or. Walking helped my health, lifting helped my shape.

If time is short, two or three strength sessions plus normal walking is more realistic than chasing 10,000 steps daily.
