Many people who wish to lose weight or lead healthier lives turn to the one exercise that anyone can do which is running.
Running is a great source of cardio and can get you in shape in no time. Although it is a great exercise, it is also a high impact exercise which can lead to pains in the joints.
In today’s article are two alternatives to running that will give you a great workout without the risk of injury. Both alternatives consist of stimulated running which is like running without the high impact.
The first alternative is the ElliptiGO which combines the classic elliptical machine with a bicycle. The ElliptiGO is a great replacement for running because it makes the user do the same act of running, but without the high impact that causes knee problems.
The second alternative to running is pool running. Pool running is exactly what it sounds like, running inside of a pool. The surrounding water makes the act of running much easier on the knees which makes it great for those who wish to run, but have knee pains.
