This is a friend of mine, who has always been active and likes sports, but has recently been diagnosed with arthritis in both knees. She was advised to lose weight too, so the knees would not have to work hard carrying the extra weight.
What kind of exercise would be good for someone with knee replacement?

Swimming is very low impact. If she’s up for it, water aerobics classes. Sometimes cycling and speed skating are recommended after knee injuries. I’d ask the doctor or somebody at the gym for something that is low impact for the knees.
weights, rowing, bowling and boxing are always good, as they don’t require much leg movement. ♥b♥
swimming, cycling
Pool aerobics and swimming make lesser stress to the knees.
Swimming would be perfect.
Water areobics is the best form of exercise for arthritis
Have your friend try rowing. It’s mostly an upper body workout, but your knees justs have to bend back and forth a little bit. And I think it’s one of the most enjoyable workouts I’ve done. Good Luck!
