It's not as high-impact as running is, so it's easier on your knees. And 30 minutes burns almost as many calories as a 30-minute jog.

Circuit training is a combination of things like jumping jacks, push-ups, and lunges. You're supposed to do each one for about a minute with no breaks in between, so your heart rate stays up.

a.k.a, speed-walking. Which is easier on your knees, and it still gets your heart rate up. The idea is to change your speed up about once a minute, so sometimes you're walking almost as fast as possible, but not always.
