Without knowing what "kind" of walking you do and your background, I cannot tell you it is not enough. (Need to know the facts so as not to jump to conclusions).
All things being equal, if you find time to walk everyday, you "may" be able to do something else in place of walking maybe 2 to 4 times a week.
Let's take a look at some factors that influence your fitness level.
Your body does not care what you think, say, or feel. It only cares what you do to it or for it.
You've heard "proper nutrition and exercise" many times. What they forgot to say was "proper nutrition and
PROPER exercise"
If it is easy, most likely it is not making you fit and healthy.
Your body needs a reason to change. Overloading it in a constructive way is part one.
Feeding it properly is part two. What do you eat and how often and when?
You cannot just try it, you must do it!
Make a life change and you will change your life.
Sure it's "hard". Only because one makes it hard. Change your attitude, change your life.
It may have been "hard" to start walking, but now it's just what you do.
One of my clients had a "hard" time controlling his nutritional intake. 4 weeks later, he now says it's just what he does now. Now it has become part of his life. His wife took to the "proper nutrition and proper exercise" almost right away and lost 3 lbs quickly, all bodyfat and gained .65 lbs of muscle.
The better you change your life, the better your results.
You've seen the infomercials "these results are not typical, these results are extraordinary"
What are your goals? Weight loss or bodyfat loss? Major difference!
Athletic conditioning? Look more toned? Have more energy? Make life's chores easier?
Whatever they may be, GET FIT...FEEL GREAT
With my programs, based on you and scientific research and "in the trenches training"
these extraordinary results are typical.
Tips on getting fit:
Look forward to their workouts and enjoy the changes you go through.
Have a positive attitude.
Read more books and magazines on workouts.
Play sports you used to do or want to do.
Always focus on what you can do, not what you cannot do.
Look forward to your next "fueling" (food intake).
Eat properly for your goals and activities.
If you know someone else with your same goals, have a friendly competition to see who can get there first.
Hire a trainer to make sure you are actually doing your body good, even if for a short time.

These are just a few tips to get you started and focused.
Home workouts on tape, DVDs, etc., can work out just fine getting you started. It also depends on how fit you want to get and your current fitness level.
