How do you get exercise if you have intermittent claudication? In brief: Walk through pain

The pain is not damaging any tissue.

You just grin and bear it and walk through the pain. Till you cannot stand it then stand there till you can start walking again. Don't sit, it takes longer to recover. Do this every day for 20 minutes the first day then each week increase by five mins a day till you are walking 45 minutes daily. ...See more
