Quick Wits: Who Cares If Walking Is Exercise? (Response to Dr. Gabrielle Lyon)

Is walking exercise or not? Does it even matter?

Today, we're tackling a recent controversy sparked by Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, who made waves on social media by claiming that walking is not exercise. As someone who's always preaching the importance of strength training for building muscle and transforming your body, I wanted to weigh in on this topic and offer some perspective.

Join me on today's Quick Wits as I share my thoughts on why this question might be missing the point entirely, and why strength training should be your top priority for physique development anyway.
