Sarah, at first i could only walk a couple of yards at a time. Most of my walking was up and down my hallway of my little apartment. All of a sudden it seems i can walk a whole mile in like 30 mins. Try aging a, few steps each time, and try increasing the frequency. Trust me if i can do it at 44 yrs old,.and close to 400lbs,.with it 112° outside...YOU CAN DO IT TOO! Also, the more you walk the less pain you will feel therefore the less pain meds you will need, giving you more energy to walk, to feel better and so on and on and on.
