    for cardio try walking with leslie sansone. you get a burn but easy on the body.

    stand with legs hip with a part slight bend in the knees and do punches it'll get your heart rate going and you can add weights too it for a harder work out once you get stronger.

    fairyjester- i am taking glucosamine with msn, do you think i need something else or different i am so clueless when it comes to supplements, lol??
    jane77- i have p90x, but got really board with the weight lifting part, maybe i should try again!!
    thanks for all the ideas!!, i have been wanting to get the leslie sansone video for my mom, maybe i should try them out with her!!

    no that pretty much what i would suggest, only thing else maybe some omega 3,6,9. thought your supplement may already have some or may not

    If at home, try Jump rope,
    If in gym, try the crosstrainer

    yeah i cant use the bike either can do maybe 15 minutes then the pain starts. can do eliptical and treadmill.
    can use most of the weight machines except the squats

    I was having the same issues with the FIRM DVD's as they did so many 4 count lunges. JIllian does too many lunges and squats and my knees will screaming etc...I am learning to modify the lunges to a step foward step behind etc..but have also discovered Tae Bo which doesn't do so many lunges and the 10 minute Solution...Rapid Resuls fat burner...there are 10 minute segments and most of the segments on this particular one are pretty knee friendly...there is a 10 minute solution dancing one too that is easy on the knees but I don't bellydance...LOL...

    every body should belly dance. actually when i got back to belly dancing this year my knee improved greatly

    I think I would actually love bellydancing if I learned how to do it before I cared about the workout. I was trying to squeeze a really effective workout in and the time I spent frustrated in not quite doing it right made me crazy...LOL
