Got an okay from the doctor... But I want to start working out in what ever I can to not gain more weight... any tips ?

Answer

Pilates was made for people with injuries.

Answer

Swimming or water aerobics? Water activities are easy on the joints.

Answer

Water aerobics or if your gym has an Arc Trainer (similar to an elliptical), those are great. I hurt my knee a few weeks ago and I burn as much doing the arc trainer as I did running. In terms of strength training, just steer clear of weight bearing exercises that are harder on the knees (squats, lunges, etc).

Answer

I would try something low impact to start with - swimming, biking, elliptical, walking, whatever you like! Good luck!

Answer

Ugh I danced in college (lyrical and modern) and I pulled a few muscles. Sitting out from working out,  is no joke. Especially because I couldn't dance. One day my friends wanted to play Frisbee and I joined in. When I jumped up to catch it my back hurt and I fell on my knee and dislocated it. I couldn't wear pants for a month it was so swollen and I had to use crutches. I would suggest just start going for walks. If your used to working out like I was it may seem mediocre but you gota start somewhere.
