Stretching as well as performing exercises to strengthen quad muscle prior to walking is so important with knee pain.

My favorite exercise is the elliptical. It is weight bearing but has a smoother motion and you are not pounding on your knees and lower extremity joints as you would if you were running. You can use your arms (or not) to increase the cardio impact.
