(cross post) best exercise for hip bursitis?


best exercise for hip bursitis?
Hi there.... I have bilateral trochanteric bursitis (more prominent in the left hip) that i seemed to develop after losing 130lbs (go figure!) I love to walk! I wanted to buy a treadmill but wondered if there was something better that was easier on the hips (or is a treadmill a good idea...maybe easier on the hips than the pavement)

so... 2 questions....
what exercise machine would be easiest on my hip joints

if you were to recommend a treadmill what kind would it be?

A recumbent bike might work better for you. I have the same problem. Good Luck.
