The best exercise is the one you actually repeat. A perfect gym plan you quit is worse than daily walks you enjoy.

Walking is a great base, but I would add simple strength training eventually if you can. Even two short sessions a week helps with muscle and joints.

Walking absolutely counts. I lost weight and improved my mood by walking consistently. It was not dramatic, but it was sustainable, and that mattered more.
