Tip for stationary bike fun...
I currently live in a place where inhospitable weather makes exercising outside is pretty much impossible.

I have been doing really well with weight training-- and currently working with a personal trainer to ensure I am using proper form, etc. Still, that didn't keep me from straining myself.

Good fitness/strength program that's easy on the knees?
I am 42 and a former long-distance runner who now suffers mild to moderate knee pain. I am finishing up 30DS this weekend and have seen awesome results. Only problem is that the high-impact moves-- even the jumping jacks-- have put a strain on the knees. I plan to do Ripped in 30 next but I'm concerned about more knee…
