I'm wondering if any of you know what I could do with a pretty bad back. I'm 23 and I think getting back into a routine that I'll start to loose weight again. Besides swimming and walking is there anything else I can do. I can't really be stable walking sometimes, and I've severely sprained my ankle not once but twice. The first one I was laid up for months, and it could of lead to surgery, so I'm not a big fan of walking. I love to swim, but between work, classes, and fitting in appointments, I don't have time to swim, the YMCA has a pool, but by the time I can do it I've missed the open swim.

Stationary bike?

Stationary bikes, recumbent bikes, steppers.

Honestly the best think would be swimming, but I know that time constraints suck.

Try to find a Water aerobics class that fits into your schedule. Check for early morning open swim before work.
