Hi all!

So I ended up injuring my knee the other day while running, and I really won't be able to do my usual cardio routine. I was wondering if anyone has any good cardio exercises they do that do not involve running or jumping. I'm going to take it easy on the leg for a couple weeks, but I don't want to skip out on the workouts.

I'm thinking shadow boxing, but an others that are good for getting the heart rate up?

    I do some spinning when I'm injured - if your bike is adjusted properly, it shouldn't be a problem for your knee. Do you have access to a pool? Swimming or water running?

    Biking, swimming, rowing - all good cardio with zero impact.

    No access to a pool, I wish I did though, but the bike sounds like a good option to try.
