I`m not able to walk as a way of exercise, due to herniated lumbar disks, but use a life fitness elliptical 4-5 times per week, 45 minutes per day at about 60-70% of my maximum heart rate. The equivalent distance is about 4 miles.

I think the elliptical change my life, it`s very easy on the joints and you can improve the fitness level. In seven months I have lose 1 or 2 pounds but my waist is now 2" smaller and muy fitness level, according to my polar heart monitor has improved from poor to good and I`m abour to reach the excellent stage.
