I don't know how many of you are able to physically tolerate walking or running 4+ miles daily on a regular basis. My feet/knees/ankles can't handle it (despite wearing appropriate athletic walking shoes). Thank goodness the gym reopens tomorrow! It will be a full and fun day of exercise, plus!

Same here. I can't handle impact at all. Spine issues. I can go for miles in softish sand, but 4-5 blocks on a hard surface, like a sidewalk can be very painful. Gym equipment like ellipticals and such where you do not pick up your feet work alright too.
