A member asked:
Is walking ok for exercise if i cant do high impact due to disc issues? i have been told it's not a "real" workout
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Start me Up.: It is a real good option. Walking at higher speeds or up low grade inclines can increase the "real" workout adventure. Under the guidance of a knowledgeable trainer, you may be even able to start weight or resistance training.
