Getting Cardio with Injured Knees

I found a short, but good Q&A on how to get in cardio exercise with knees that aren't quite up to snuff. A few of my family members are currently experiencing knee challenges.

How can I get cardio exercise if my knees are damaged?

Key recommendations:

  • You can break up the cardio you get into smaller chunks
  • Try swimming, cycling or other sports that take the weight off your knees
  • Don't just think about traditional exercises. Cleaning the house and gardening count, too.
  • Keep up strength training

A Conversation on Staying Healthy

A nice conversation between Dr. Sanjay Gupta and Jillian Michaels on staying fit at 40. Light on content, but a nice little conversation. (Not that I am 40, but I am busy... one of the topics discussed quickly).
