The “B” List
While slightly less aerobic than the preceding four exercises, the six exercises covered below are good alternatives and are especially appropriate for individuals with orthopedic and medical complications that prevent them from doing fully weight-bearing exercise.
STAIR STEPPING
Aerobic rating: 7
Convenience rating: 7
Risk of injury rating: Low
Overall rating: 8
This exercise is appropriate for: Most people, especially those who have a limited amount of time to exercise and want a time-efficient, concentrated aerobic workout.
This exercise is not appropriate for: Anyone with orthopedic or medical complications that stair stepping would aggravate.
This exercise requires the use of a stair-stepping machine. I like it because it is fairly aerobic, it’s easy to learn, and it doesn’t place much stress on your body.
If you perform stair stepping as an aerobic exercise, watch your posture: Be sure to keep your shoulders back, your arms slightly bent, and your hands in light contact with the machine (for balance, not to support your body weight).
ELLIPTICAL EXERCISE
Aerobic rating: 6–7
Convenience rating: 7
Risk of injury rating: Low
Overall rating: 7
This exercise is appropriate for: Beginning exercisers. Individuals who have a difficult time performing weight-bearing exercises. Anyone with orthopedic or medical complications that prevents them from doing other aerobic exercises such as power walking, jogging, aerobic dancing, or stair stepping.
This exercise is not appropriate for: Anyone with orthopedic or medical complications that prevent them from performing the unique elliptical motion. Very fit individuals who would benefit from a more intense exercise.
Elliptical exercise is sort of a combination between jogging and stair stepping. It requires the use of a specialized exercise machine called (what else?) an elliptical exercise machine. When these machines first came out, the movement involved was more of a sliding motion, which did not provide for a very aerobic workout. Most of the newer models allow you to exercise your arms as well as your legs, and they tend to require that you lift your legs higher than the old machines. This motion more closely resembling jogging and is therefore more aerobic. I like these machines because they do not put much stress on muscles and joints.
