Health Tip: If You're Tired of Walking

Font Size

(HealthDay News) -- Walking is a great form of exercise -- you can burn calories, yet it's fairly easy on your feet and joints.

But if you're bored with your walking routine, the American Podiatric Medical Association offers these low-impact alternatives:

Take a swim, or sign up for a water aerobics class.
Take a dance class.
Sign up for an aerobics, Pilates or yoga class.
Hop on a bike and start pedaling, whether it's outdoors or on a stationary bike.
Use an elliptical machine.
Work out with some light weight lifting.
Remember the fun of childhood; exercise with a hula-hoop or jump rope.
