    Is running your only option? What about swimming or group fitness (e.g. aerobics class or spinning). Even though it is very much an 80's kick back, I love step aerobics. I have a torn ACL and am missing most of my meniscus. I am able to do step aerobics completely pain free as long as I am careful not to pivot or make lateral jarring movements with my "bad" knee.

    Having suffered with a torn acl for the past 2 years running is not the best excersise. If you want to work on cardio aspect of training could I suggest you try something like cycling or using a cross trainer. I have found these allow me to have a good full body workout but I don't compromise the stability of my knee.
