I am recovering from a knee injury, so I am having a hard time finding cardio workouts that don't cause pain. I used to run and do zumba, but am not able to anymore. It been really discouraging to not be healing better after 3 mo. If you have any ideas (besides swimming) of a good cardio workout, I'd love to hear it!
