Question by heliumcamel: What is the best fitness plan for a very bad knee?
I am overweight, losing, with no fitness plan at present. I hate walking, and my knee swells from arthritis when I walk for any extended period of time. So for every 30 minutes I walk (even in a mall shopping) I spend an hour with my knee elevated and iced. I would appreciate any suggestions. I am in my early 50’s.

Swimming is very low impact, good for bad knees and gives resistance. Also, look into seeing if your gym has an underwater aerobics class you can attend.
Biking is also equally good.
