    I have arthritis in both hips~ biking, spinning, and SUPing (Stand Up Paddle Boarding) work well for me.

    I'm not able to work out much, and sometimes it's too painful to walk/run.

    But, I would really love ways to still burn calories without walking/running or standing up for a long period of time.

    I do wii fit occasionally but it ends up making me limp for a few days :/

    If you have some medical condition, you need not get advice here.
    Get with your doctor and set up physical therapy.

    Now, having said that....lol
    If it were me, I'd join a gym with an indoor pool and swim.
    I'd lay in bed and do rehab exercises

    There are always possibilities.

    Punches/Windmills.

    Yoga *there are some great ones on youtube for free search under yogayak

    Can you swim? it is not weigh bearing to your lower body :)

    It is more than possible to work it with a lower body injury! Keep at it!

    I have been walking very little since September. Tracking the calories kept working for me to lose the weight.

    As for a bit of exercise, I am doing swimming - I can't swim for, well, to save my life, so I just paddle - back and forward across the pool for a bit and you can feel it working - my 'paddling' (Aussie crawl ?) means my head is above water at all times.

    Bike Trainer (like the CycleOps Fluid2 - link below) and a television and a good movie on Netflix will burn 400 calories an hour or more while being a source of entertainment (I'm re-watching all the Bond films these days). Low impact and great for both endurance and strength training.

    Have you seen a doctor about the pain you experience running? I always thought I had bad knees/ankles - turns out I just had very weak stabilizer muscles and needed to do some proper strength training.

    Cycling, swimming, and I personally like the rowing machine. It's a great way to burn calories as well toning your back, legs and arms.
