I am gaining weight by not doing much.I have had 3 surgeries on my knees.I have a degenerative bone disease and I cannot walk alot or run because its painful and will make it worse.I dont want to sit around and gain weight. I used to be very active.Just diesting is not doing much.Does anyone have any ideas on how to work out and lose weight without running or walking? Maybe a diet? HELP!
Get an indoor bike, if you ride casual, you will not put to much pressure on your knees – if you can! Diet should be protein based with vegetables. Get some dumbbells so you can do upper body training, shoulder press, arm curls, chest, back, triceps. You could do leg raises, squats using dumbbells in each hand (if you can), sit-ups for stomach.

buy yourself a palates ball and some light free weight that is a great way to burn whilst in a sort of sitting position

Limit your calories more and more till you effect a weight loss of one to two pounds per week.
Check into buying one of them bikes that you can "pedal" with your hands. I’ve seen crippled dudes driving them down the street. They look like alot of fun and the dudes had huge arm muscles.

i used to be fat when i was 12 im sixteen now and im ripped this may sound unbelievable but i used a certain diet for breakfast i ate steamed brocili a can of tuna fish and two banannas then for lunch i ate a hamburger with a slice up orange and about four thick slices of cucumber and for dinner i ate a steak with steamed rice and brocili after that i lost enough weight to exercise start of slow 30 minutes a day the easiest way to make your exercise time go by faster is watch your favorite tv show and when its over so is your exercise time start off walking on a tread mill hope this answer helps

Just eat less as you can. Try to eat healthy and zero foods like carrot, cabbage, apple or something. Please avoid junk and fatty foods.
Control your nutrition intake.

Hi
yes swimming is great exercise and there is no strain on your joints as the water supports your weight.

definately a diet. but nothing too hard core. lifting light weights will even help you out. the suzanne sommers diet really helped. you can eat good foods but you just have to watch what foods you put together.
