Right but is simply walking better for you overall? You still get exercise without the forceful impact on knees.

- cainxinth 1y agoYou can get almost all of the health benefits of running from walking (weight loss, cardiovascular performance, etc.), it just takes much longer. Also, running is better for the bones (but worse for soft tissues).
- lanfeust6 1y agoCycling/spin can yield more aerobic intensity with less stress on knees, you can't even get to Zone 2 with walking unless you're very overweight. Of course there are bodyweight options like aerobics, shadow boxing, jumping rope. Skipping rope would be my favorite were it not for the fact that you need a lot of headspace for the rope. This makes it unviable except outdoors or at a gym/facility.
