[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 1872668, member: 6467"] Kudos for the exercise. Have you considered cycling? Less strain on the joints but still good exercise. I walk and cycle now because my feet and knees are no longer up to running, although running used to be my exercise of choice. I have tried walking fast (4 mph or more) but even that seems to over stretch joints and ligaments. One benefit of running is that you can burn more energy in a shorter time. At least, I found that to run at a reasonable pace was something that was self policing because it was obvious when your legs slowed down or stopped. It is too easy to back off a bit when you are cycling. [/QUOTE]
