Or do any other sorts of high or moderate impact exercise? I have scoliosis, which is genetic and has nothing to do with my weight, but it does have to do with why I have a hard time exercising.
My doctor has said in no uncertain terms; no running, no lifting anything over 15 pounds, nothing high impact.
Currently I walk on the treadmill with a 4.0 or more incline, at 2.2 or 2.5. It doesn't seem very fast, but after the first quarter mile I'm really sweating hard. I've lost 7.5 pounds this month, so it is working, but I would like any suggestions on anything ELSE I could possibly do. (Keep in mind I just want suggestions, I will be talking to a spinal specialist about this too.)
