Q&A: What do you think is the best exercise for people with back, hip and knee problems??

Question by crazymom617: What do you think is the best exercise for people with back, hip and knee problems??
I’m pretty sure I know the answer to this one but I’d like to see if anyone else has some additional ideas (some of you have some really great ideas as I monitor and participate in this site, you may be able to remind me of something I’ve forgotten).

I need to lose about 50-80 lbs, but everytime I start to exercise (ie, treadmill, weights, floor exercises, pilates & yoga to name of few) I end up with muscle spasms, hips going out because of the constant slamming on the treadmill, etc. Helpful suggestions appreciated I’m also almost 50 and I don’t feel that is old but I do know I’m not in the kind of shape I need to be in to have a good quality of life that we all look forward to in retirement.
