I had ACL repair surgery on Sept 13. I was steadily losing weight and still am but it's a bit frustrating not being able to workout since the surgery. I'm finally back on my feet and working on regaining the muscle back in my leg but aside from physical therapy I spend a lot of time sitting around my house all day. Being on my feet too long causes a lot of pain in my knee. Any suggestions for 10-15 min workouts that aren't too strenuous on the knees?

    Swimming?

    It's probably a question for your doctor/physio though really!

    What does the physical therapist say? Swimming or biking as options.

    Why about low intensity workouts? There are a lot where you sit in a chair and/or hold onto one for exercises....

    Probably a question for your Physio. Following their suggestions is always a good idea when recovering from surgery or just injury.
