I have read a lot of the cardio programs that others are using, I am over 280 lbs and I am looking for some good cardio. I have bad knees and occasional problems with me feet so I am looking for low impact cardio. I am not into running at this time. Any suggestions would be appreciated, hopefully including warm up and cool down to it
Thanks for any ideas

anything you do in water would probably be ok for your knees and low impact.0

I began at a bit over 270 this spring (a few months before MyFitnessPal), and man those knees were killing me. Best thing I found was indoor biking, mixed with light weight lifting. I'm still doing that, but now using a power meter with a mounted bike hooked up to a computer (using a program I'm proud to say I wrote myself!), and running while getting ready for my first 5k run.0

Stationary biking or elliptical0

Thanks all for the suggestions. I already do the exercise bike and walk, no real access to a pool. I was hoping to add more like a light form of tae-bo or something like that. I appreciate the suggestions...0

If you have access to a rowing machine, that would be great too till you're ready to start pounding the pavement.
Take good care.0 -
