I'm looking for suggestions on low impact exersises that I can do to get rid of some of my jigglys. I had an accedent about 2 years ago wich left me with bad knees. anything like running and stair climbing is to painful. Crunches and sit ups only work on your tummy and really do nothing for your thys and butt. I can't afford a gym membership and have limmeted accsess to a swimming pool. Any other suggestions? I walk as often as I can. But I am not seeing much differance.

Try walking. Sounds simple and it really is, start slow, at least 1 mile for about a week, then increase your pace, for a week. Then go for 2 miles. If you can handle it, find a route that isn't all flat, gentle slopes really help work your muscles. Best of all, find a partner, it's easy to skip a walk by yourself, but if you are going to disappoint someone, it's very hard. I walk 3 miles a day, and lost 60 pounds in about a year, it's slow, but steady, and the weight stays off. Just don't stop, and watch what you eat, no starches, sweets and bad fats!

Swimming, the best exercise for anyone who can't handle aerobics.
Swim at least once a day and you'll notice a major improvement.
You can also try Tai Chi, it my not seem like real exercise, but after awhile, if you get good at it, it will make a difference.
Good luck :)

Swimming. Without a shadow of a doubt. It supports your body weight so your knees will not be affected, plus the resistance of the water is excellent at toning the body.

Walking nonstop at a fast pace for a few miles and watch what you eat. Cut back on the junk foods.

Hi,
Yes, it's difficult to go for some physical exercises if you have a bad knee. Instead, you can follow a diet regime to bring your weight to the desired level. Checkout http://www.healthopts.com for an answer related to your query. Good luck for a fabulous look!
