    Do you have access to a pool so that you could do some water aerobics? Try some light weights for strength training, triceps and biceps. I use 5 pounds and do arm lifts, the more muscle you have, the more calories you'll burn.

    I walk to avoid the pounding on the knees, I don't do a fast pace, just keep a decent pace. May not work with back and hip problems.

    Hope this helps.

    I have thought about getting a Wi just for exercise. Not sure I can afford it and the accessories needed though.
