Walking in place should not affect the knees. I also do ab Crunches, and light hand weights, to exercise the triceps, and biceps. I hope to get a treadmill.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Nicholas Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">If you buy some little 1 or 2 kg weights you can do all your upper body work while sitting, if you can move around while your show is on you can do any circuits you want Pilates style from your living room floor. Only glutes would be a struggle if you can\u2019t use your knees at all, but by just tightening your muscles and relaxing them repeatedly while watching tv works too! <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Yann O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It depends on why your trying not to affect the knees. With many knee disorders using a stationary bike can be very helpful for the knees. Consult your your care provider for your specific knee condition. There are also arm trainers that work just like a bicycle for the arms and would let you get cardio in that way. Additionally any exercise that you can do seated would work. More specifically many upper body strengthening exercises can be performed with an exercise band. For an  additional challenge you can do those exercises while sitting on an inflatable exercise ball.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Mikkel U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Best exercise can be core exercises.  Planks, sit ups, leg raises won&#39;t hurt knees but give your core a boost of strength <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Tess W.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Yes there are a lot of exercises that will strengthen your core and arms that you can do seated. For example stretch your legs out in front of you and try to touch your left foot with your right hand, sit up straight again, then try to touch your right foot with your left hand and sit up straight again. Repeat this a couple of times.<br \/>\nAlso while seated: sit up straight and lift your legs (keep your knees bent) alternately. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Gracielen Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">How about addressing the fact that you have a knee weakness and getting on top of that first. Tv and series are interesting but they are not life. They are a distraction from life and that is why we love em so much. I bet that finding a sport or activity that captures your attention will be great for your knees and doing something you control the outcome of can be more rewarding than gravitating around made up stories that are not reality and will not amount to anything for you at the end<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Nelson U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Bicicles, or a similar core excercize. Bouncing your legs isn&#39;t much, but playing air double bass drum (pulling toes to the air) works your chins, and helps avoid chin splints while running. I know a lot of people who dance to theme songs or do a plank , Superman&#39;s or a v up while it plays. Bottom line though, the two don&#39;t really mix well. Movies and series are kinda intended to turn your brain off and let you veg. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Quirilo N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23 Why would you want to watch a movie while doing exercise?

If you can put a pull-up bar into a doorframe, you can work out a circuit in which you do, say, jumping jacks, pull-ups, pushups, rest, repeat. If your knees are ok with squats, those are terrific. Body weight squats should not tax your joints too badly, as long as you make sure to keep your spine straight. <\/p>\n<p>Alternately, get yourself a nice resistance band. They cost $20 or less, and you can look up lots of workout routines they are perfect for facing a television.
