What?s going on with your posture on the treadmill to give you upper back pain? Consider the stationary cycle, maybe even the recumbent if your back is still an issue. And yeah, the stairmaster is not going to be a friend to your knees.
Bottom line is you are going to have to be creative & also have to accept that there are certain things you can no longer do if you want to keep training into old age. There are some ?orthopedic freaks? out there that seem to be resistant to joint issues in their later years, but they are in the far minority.
