Walking is the best for me since I hurt my back. With walking it can be as fast or slow as you like. You can start slow and stay slow like a casual walk. You can start slow and pick up the pace and slow it back down to finish it off. You can walk on a nice nature trail but also remember to be safe and make sure that you are in a well walked area and pay attention to your surroundings. Walking with a friend is always safer.

I swim laps three days a week. I used to walk a lot, but age is making that more difficult (I have 2 new knees and need 1 of them re-replaced). I've been recovering from a small surgery recently and am counting down the days until I get back into the water - next Monday! I also sneak in exercise when I'm cooking, outside doing stuff, or whenever.

Walking, swimming, SCUBA diving, water resistance exercises about one hour for each is a good workout. I lost 35 pounds and my Dr. took me off the Metformin and Glipizide, and I just use diet and exercise to control it. I hold my glucose@ 85-100 mg/dL.
