  • I have had bad knees since before I gained weight (curse you genetics!) and can't do squats or lunges. I prefere to swim or spend some time on the exercise bike. Good exercise but low impact on the joints. :-) There are also specific exercises to stregthen your knees so that may be beneficial to you.
