Cardio for a breh with bad knees

[BigMan]

Was going to post this in the gym section but idk how busy that forum is.

anyway, what are some alternatives to running/treadmill for cardio ?

I have a bad knee due to prior ACL surgery that makes running uncomfortable/painful at times. So I’m trying to find some other ways to workout/do cardio that don’t involve running

and yes, I’m going to look into PT and other ways to get rid of the discomfort in my knee

suggestions?

Bike or elliptical or rowing machine.

I actually like the rowing machine a lot.

You can find a Sunny bike for cheap.

Imo elliptical is the best cardio anyway, no impact

WALKING.

I bought a roadbike and ride a few miles everyday. Low impact on the joints and you get effective calorie burn if you do it enough.

I also use a battle rope for upper body.

Lastly, I cannot swim (yet), but that is one of the best methods of cardio. Particularly in cases of knee pain/concerns. I have issues with my knees as well, so I feel your situation.

Kickboard + swimming. You can rehab your bum knees to a certain extent, depending on that nature of their injury.

Either way...zero impact stress.

FROM MY EXPERIENCE I SUGGEST WALKING ONE HOUR PER DAY MORE OR LESS AND LISTEN TO WHAT YOUR BODY TELLS YOU.
