Are there any cardio exercises you can do if you have a sore knee?

Question

If can't use my legs what can i do?

Swimming is not an option.... I can't swim?

lol, no I can't swim!

Answer 1

1] can you swim? Use a paddleboard in the shallow end.
2] turn a bike upside down, and 'cycle' the pedals with your arms [ adjust tension so you have to work - I have seen wheelchair athletes use this method for training.]
3] continue to lift weights for arms, chest, back so you don't lose upper body mass - do straight leg lifts when your leg no longer hurts, until you get the OK to return to regular routine.

Answer 2

Could you go for a nice, long swim and take it easy on your knee?
