You can't be creative. Just swift :-)

How about walking:

Comment by Adriana on February 3, 2013 at 5:55pm

I'm still attempting to run. I can't give up in spite of what my doctor thinks. I may be terminally stupid. Last weekend I ran 1 mile on the treadmill, my knee bothered me a bit but not too much. This week I tried the treadmill again. After 1/2 mile my back hurt, I think I was stepping wrong or something. Ugh. I stuck with my elliptical routine. I can work up a good sweat that way and keep my heart rate up. It snowed, so biking in the park on a road bike would be suicidal.

I wasn't born to be a couch potato. When I can't exercise anymore, somebody please put me out of my misery.
