Ideas for exercise

I have real bad knee pain and need to kick start this weight loss but I'm in constant pain because of my knees. I want to exercise but it hurts to bad. Any ideas? My hospital I'm going with wants to get me in Water aerobics. But I want some more things I can do. I have to lose 20lbs on my own. I want to show that I'm determined. I need help.

    Your can get a great workout from boxing. Upper body weights, push ups, sit ups. You could even do a pump/weights class and just don't do anything that hurts your knees (like lunges). Doing laps in the pool also burns calories like nobody's business.

    I have bone on bone arthritis both my knees. My orthopedic surgeon opted to inject Synvics1 (gell filler)vs. a knee replacement because he feels that should be my last option. I get the injections on both knees once a year or longer and I have been pain free. I work out about 4 days a wk. with no issues. I'm not saying this would work for you but it's worth asking your doctor about it.

    I'm at my Dr's appointment now asking about the fillers. The nurse said that's something I'm going to need a referral for so I will see when he comes in what he says I'll keep u posted. Thanks
