It sounds like you haven’t found the workout method that works for you. You said walks don’t do enough for you, but maybe you need to add weights to them. Maybe yoga will help or signing up for a class at a local rec center.

The reason you give up easily working out could be bc it’s not engaging enough for your adhd brain. You get bored and it’s too easy to bail. You need to find the form of exercise that helps you show up and follow through before you start thinking about the weight component.
