[QUOTE="CatsFive, post: 2611406, member: 567227"] At 17 stone, that could be quite bad for your joints. Walking is better - walk up hills if you want more of a work-out. Of course if you walk up you have to walk down as well, which has the benefit of being eccentric exercise - you are lengthening the muscles under load and applying a braking force. This is in contrast to uphill walking, which is concentric exercise, shortening the muscles during contraction. However it also jolts the joints, so if you can, aim to walk up the steep way and down the less steep way. Also cycling, rowing, swimming & weights are all forms of exercise that are much easier on the joints. [/QUOTE]
