Swimming - but without a background in it, to start in the activity may prove to be frustrating
Racqetball - biggest pitfalls are court fees and needing an opponent, but it is a great workout
Distance Walking - if you can block ninety minutes to two hours a day and keep up a brisk pace, it is a low-impact alternative to running

I agree about running expecially if you have dodgy knees like me. I enjoy walking in the hills which as I live in the Peak district of Derbyshire is convenient. This is excellent exercise and has the added benefit of fantastic views. One or two walking poles will protect your joints especially on the down hills. I recommend the following website:

Do you have access to an elliptical machine? You'd love it! Total workout and time flies when you are working it in front of a good television program. My daughter goes to her local fitness center in time to work and watch Oprah! LOL! For me it's HGTV.

TRY A STAIR MASTER.. EASIER ON THE LEGS AND KNEES, AND EASY TO WATCH TV, LISTEN TO RADIO, OR READ A BOOK WHILE DOING, VERY GREAT AND AS GOOD OR BETTER THAN JOGGING ..
