Walking on an incline > Running

[Anonymous]

I used to run but had a series of injuries over the years. I broke my ankle last fall and I have decided I am done with running. I started walking - my neighborhood has a big hill. That increases my cardio while not risking any more injuries. I started using a weighted vest a few weeks ago. I know that is so five years ago, but it did significantly increase my heart rate since I have become accustomed to the big hill now.

Walking on an incline outside > walking on an incline on a treadmill

Agreed, but that's easier said than done. Weather, time of day, finding access to good hills near you, etc.

Two different knee doctors have told me to never incline my treadmill. Maybe that advice is specific to my specific knee problem. I don't remember why.
