I resisted walking for the longest time. It just sounded boring. And, then I tried it and really love it. Go figure.

Jazzercise can be done with low impact. You'll find women in there that do impact during the routines and others who prefer low impact. The instructor will show you how to do it, and it's a lot of fun. During the one hour routine they will also incorporate weights--balls and floor exercises to give you a full body workout in one hour.

One of my doctors suggested using a rowing machine. It is suppose to provide a full body workout with no impact. I haven't found any place that has them, though.
