Is daily walking going to help further the prednisone in my system? will prednisone wokr better if i walk daily?

It : It is not clear to me what you are asking. Walking does not increase the effectiveness of Prednisone and does not increase the absorption of Prednisone from your intestinal tract. Walking may reduce the tendency for the Prednisone to increase your blood sugar. I wonder what you are taking the Prednisone for and the dose (amount) and how long you will be on it.

I : I would not expect walking to change the efficacy of Prednisone (although walking is good exercise for most people).
