A. By far the best aerobic activity for ladies of all fitness levels is walking. Walking can help you unwind after a long day at work, can be a great way to start the day and is also a great after dinner option.

There is a great website that talks about different walking programs and has information on power walking, race walking and treadmill walking. Walking is easier on the knees than running or jogging and can essentially yield the same results. I encourage you to check out http://www.thewalkingsite.com/walkingfaq.html and soak in the information.
