Should I do something else and get my heart rate up--elliptical trainer, exercise bike--or just keep on walking?

I can run a little, but I have to be careful because of my knees. I find using the incline on the treadmill while walking at a brisk pace (3.6 - 3.9 mph) to be a great workout. It gets the heart rate up without the pounding on the knees. Do the treamills you use have an incline function?
