For years I took to the streets and trails and ran.  The pressure of constant pounding does take its toll so I started with a treadmill but still did not like the pounding.  I bought a Nordick Track and literally wore it out.  I am now happy working out on an elliptical machine four or five times a week.  I do vary my speed and intensity as I feel interval training really builds you up.

"Walking is the best possible exercise. Habituate yourself to walk very far." Thomas Jefferson


I suggest getting a series of upbeat playlists for your nanos et al. while exercising. Here is my main Workout playlist when I am doing a fast & furious bit on the elliptical: Let's Get This Party Started, Born to Run, Flashdance, Gonna Fly Now, Winner Takes it All, Stayin Alive, Let's Get Physical, We Are The Champions, I Believe I Can Fly, Born to Be Wild, Eye of the Tiger, Chariots of Fire, Pipeline, Wipeout, Take My Breath Away
 

Exercise combined with proper nutrition and getting enough rest are important factors in good health.
