hi, i am about one and a half stone overweight and i really need to lose weight and increase my stamina/ oveall fitness. I started doing couch to 5k a few weeks ago, so just small bursts of slow jogging. I wore good running trainers etc, but have injured knees as i overpronate quite badly. A week and a half later and i am still struggling to walk for more than a few minutes as pain starts again, wearing knee supports etc, doing all the right things.
I would like to try jogging again at some point but unsure how realistic that is. I really need some regular cardio that i can do. I already walk our dogs daily and prior to injury i was doing a couple of miles a day but one of our dogs is quite old so the pace is really slow and ploddy, so it isn't enough on its own. I can't swim and i am not that comfortable in the water anyway, i also can't ride a bicycle (i know!) tho i do own a stationary bike.
Anyone got any ideas what cardio i can do that will not put any strain on my knees. Would the stationary bike be any good?
