100: Alex Allen: Why Walking Counts as Exercise (And Other Fitness Lies You've Been Told)

Is walking actually exercise, or are we just lying to ourselves? This simple question has sparked heated debates across social media, but the truth might surprise you—and it could completely change how you approach your fitness journey.
