Can anyone recommend fat burning exercise for someone with bad joints?

I started Joe Wicks in lockdown and my knees started to suffer. Stopped lunges and that helped a bit.

Moved on to LMOD and the first body combat left my shoulder sore for three weeks and counting.

Pump is running heavy which also aggravated knees

Did CXworx last week and my knee is still in pain from side lunges.

Meanwhile I'm piling on weight again and losing all the muscle tone I had built up.

Would really appreciate any suggestions 😭

You can do most things so long as you modify them a bit. I had some Davina DVDS where they had one person doing the exercise, and Another doing a lower intensity version for people with joint issues etc. It really helped me increase my joint strength, because instead of over doing it I was building it up. I was also doing swimming, Pilates and lots of walking, and some gentle yoga, which all helped support my body.

Flow yoga, pilates and barre will all help.

(No idea how much fat you'd burn but it might be helpful anyway just to keep moving!)

Someone I know runs Pilates classes with an emphasis on mobility - since lockdown they've been online so you could access them from wherever. Might be worth checking out? www.mobilates.co.uk/
