Last Saturday I took a bad spill and hurt my knee. Thankfully nothing is broken but it hurts. I see the orthopedic doctor today so wish me luck.

At any rate, I haven't exercised. Anyone have any tips on how to get some cardio in? Or should I just take a break? Its awkward even trying some upper body weight training. Any tips are appreciated. ????????????

Swim laps.

Swim laps.

You read my mind! I've been wanting to get back into the pool. Knee isn't up for laps BUT I can handle water aerobics! Thanks!

=)

My knees are very "used." So I LOVE aquarobics. The classes I attend kick my ass.

I can't wait to try!

I got an exercise peddler and peddle with my hands when I watch tv.

Take a break. I have MS. I took 2 falls in one week. One coming in the door, one going outside over a step....out the same damn door. I haven't been able to get one my knees in years. Guess how I landed?!

I've always had decent legs even at 300 plus pounds. They are wearing badges of honor. One across my tattoo that reads "never give up."

I don't want you to give up either. I want for you to give in a little

With a knee injury you may want to stick with deep water aerobics.

You sound like me. I fall way too much. Always had a balance problem. It got better when I practiced martial arts but I was 25 years younger and didn't have aches, pains, & creaks then and had time! LOL

You are right...I do need to take it easy. I have an MRI tomorrow but just very sore. I actually got a head start on taking a break because I've taken off work till the new year! I just couldn't do the crutches. I went back to do a class and what happened??? A freaking lock down drill. So I am trying to flounder and hide with crutches. Ugh. Not good or safe especially if it had been a real lockdown. Thankfully the semester ends tomorrow so just have exams to grade at the moment. Was supposed to plan 8 gazillion other things before the new year FOR next semester but it will have to wait!!

Going over to gym tomorrow to sign up for water aerobics. Wish me luck!

MRI for brain? Spinal, c-spine? Contrast or no? No worries. Worked sp needs. Becoming sp needs. Lol. Take care. Pool, great idea...steps?
