[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you have a jump rope? Or fake it until you make it with just hands.

Dance workouts.

Stairs.

Jumping jacks.

Are there any good hills in your neighborhood?

There are lots of ways to do cardio that doesn't involve running![/quote]

Those suggestions are still not low impact so may be still bad on OP's knees...Since the the legs are the biggest part of your body, it's really hard to do cardio that doesn't involve them except swimming or rowing and the like.  Perhaps biking?   [/quote]

Stairs, hills, and (some) dance are absolutely low impact and great cardio, as well as leg strengthening exercise. [/quote]

Not getting into the dance thing, but I'd say any form of cardio where gravity is part of the resistance + repetitive knee joint movement can under certain conditions be bad for the knees.  Yes, it's low impact where there not much shock to the knees, but depending on OP's knee condition, those exercises are not necessarily not bad. [/quote]
