trying to think of good cardio workouts that won't bother my knee too bad...I can't run and can only really bike on flat surface for short periods of time without my knee giving me trouble...any suggestions on cardio workouts that would be good for me?? THANKS!!!

Yoga (with an instructor aware of your knee needs) and pool work outs are good. Running and aerobics can all be done in the water with little impact on your joints, and are a bit more difficult due to the water resistance.

Hey, Im Cory and I love to work out, for ur knee problem Id try some machine exercises like calf raises, light weight squats,leg extensions,and leg curls. If you use less weight and do more reps on each set then you can tone up and get a little bit of cardio, but I strongly suggest skipping rope. I read in a muscle mag. that skipping rope for 5 minutes is the same as jogging or biking 3 miles. Please E-mail ur reply and any other questions you have about any kind of exercise at chodge07@yahoo.com

No it isn't in any respect. I am very sorry however simply swimming the stroke for ten mins will do not anything for you. You want an genuine exercise to do upgrade. Also resting that lengthy in among functional units allows for latic acid to construct up to your muscle tissue and make swimming much more painful. Sample Workout: Warm Up two hundred yds of freestyle one hundred IM 2x 50 Free Style Sprint This must take a highest of 10 mins Workout: 4x one hundred Freestyle on two:00 mins (that means you have got two minute to swim a one hundred that is four laps and this entails your relaxation, so if it takes you one million:50 to swim a one hundred then you have got 10 seconds relaxation) (No relaxation in among those 2 units) 8x 50 Freestyle on one million:00 minute (take one million minute relaxation) 4x one hundred on three:00 1st one hundred is butterfly second is again third is breast and 4th is loose 8x 50 on one million:30 1st is butterfly second is again third is breast and 4th is loose repeat (take one million minute relaxation) 2x two hundred on five:00 Freestyle (take two minute relaxation) 4x one hundred IM on three:00 (IM order is going fly, again, breast, loose So on this case it might be one lap fly, one lap again, one breast, one loose and that might be a one hundred) five:00 convenient swim cooldown
