Exercising with a knee injury

kathivg

Hi, I'm on a sixth month weight loss program, as I'm planning to have WLS in May.

A year ago I tripped/fell and really smacked my right knee (below the knee), and it took two months for me to recover. I went all summer/fall with no problem, but my knee's really been bothering me again...perhaps due to the change in weather.

Anyway, are the exercises people have tried and had success that haven't bothered the knees? Swimming is one option, but I cannot always get to the pool. I also figure that, as I lose weight, my knee will improve, as the stress of weight will decrease.

Thank you!
