    Swimming is excellent and takes the pressure off the knee, also if you go to the gym, they have elipticals that have a seat in them to take the pressure off the knees so it isolates your upper thigh and butt to making them move, a hellava workout but doesn't hurt the knees. You might also check into Pilates, it works your body without the pressure on the knees, you would work around that.

    Good luck! you can do it!!
