Exercise and Weight Loss with bad joint…?
Hi all,
I’m 24yrs old 5ft 6 and a size 12, my problem isn’t so much my weight as my fitness… but saying that i want to lose a few pounds and tone up a bit…
I am a student nurse so obv have an active job, but need to do more exercise. Being a student i can’t afford the extortionate gym prices, and swimming is £4.50 per time. I used to love jogging but unluckily can’t do that anymore as i ended up on crutchels last year when my patella went round to the side of my leg meaning that the cartlidge is scarred and damaged so running is just a total no go anymore according to my physio-i used to be a size 10 (UK) and just feel that, although i recognise i am not ‘fat’ i am big for me.
Totally not interested in diets as i want to get fit, but does anyone know of any good exercises apart from sit ups that will tone me up (thighs and tum) without costing money or killing my knee even more!!!
Much appreciate your help

by crutchels i actually mean crutches sorry x
Hiya
I have had operations on my knees removing cartilage and i still have problems with them however I have found that ice skating really helps my knees as well as tone me, i haven’t got much money either but do it once every 2 weeks and my knee feels great. Also bike riding is ok if u have a bike.
