Replace jumping jacks on 3DS

What should I replace the jumping jacks with on the 3DS to save my knees?

How about just doing the arm movements but stepping side to side, or marching in place?

My knees kill too, but in the jump rope portion. I do like 'boxer style jump-roping', where you alternate very little jumps on each foot. And I do arm movements like they do during the jump rope segment at the same time. I hope that makes sense?

Also, sometimes I just do the punches in the squat position. That one really gets my HR up.

Yup me too ! I do the above ^
Also just make up my own low impact moves, so there is less jumping strain on my knees.
One move I do is: lift a knee to my chest but out to the side as well as far as I can go then, take both my arms to meet up with it, creating a side crunch, then alternate as fast as I can. left knee to left elbow, right knee to right elbow. (hope that makes sense.)
