Cardio

Can anyone suggest a form of cardio that doesn't involve running or cycling ?

I have tendonitis in my knees and running is just too painful, looking for some kind of upper body cardio.

Cheers

Seated battle ropes comes to mind.. Or swimming?

Can you find a gym with an arm bike?

Rowing machine without the leg drive?
Swimming without knee flexion?

If the pain is from impact and not motion I would suggest an eliptical. I have bad knees and ankles and founds that it was much better because your feet stay put. If it motion that is problem then it wouldn't be much help. But figured I'd me too it! Good luck!
