Exercise Bicycle Recumbent
No knees. Need exercise.?
I have no cartilage between my femur and patella (actually one sixteenth of an inch is all). Both knees are affected. I need to do aerobic exercises, but the only thing I’ve been able to do is swim, and I can’t do it year round because there are no indoor pools here. I never get to a good level of fitness because it takes me all summer to work up to a good aerobic level–if I do it too quickly, my shoulders go. I have been told that a Lifecycle Recumbent bicycle would work for me, but others have told me no bicycle at all. What do I do? Help!
I believe that any type of elliptical (sp?) trainer would work best for you. It would allow for a cardio workout without stress on the knees. There are many types available.
You could also try doing some types of yoga. That will allow for strength/conditioning/tonig without huge impact on your joints. Hope that helps.
