I'm not going to run if I know it's going to hurt, which is why I was looking for something else to do. I disagree with walking being "great" simply because of the fact that it takes so long to burn the same calories you can burn in a shorter amount of time. There's nothing wrong with walking, it just shouldn't be classified as "great" cardio, that's all.

I lost 110 lbs in 6 months going from 345 to a 235 (37" waist, 47" chest at 6'3") in 2002. I did it by eating better, lifting and walking 45 minutes per day 4 days per week. I've maintained this recomposition for 6 years now. I also realize that this is anecdotal.
My response was to used the term "great" to emphasis that you can get around your limitations (equipment and injury); it was more to say "you can always walk". It's fine that you disagree and I'll respect that. I also respect that other members in this forum have had similar successes doing things a bit differently than I did. While I don't retract my personal belief that walking is outstanding exercise, I do retract my usage of the term "great" to place a classification on cardio. It was, after all, just an opinion, not a statement of fact. I put too much emphasis in my post.
Oh, and welcome to the forums!
