I don't know if alot of you are having knee problems, but I sure am. Plus, my legs ache alot.
We have a big exercise bike, but it actually causes me sciatic pain and I can't use it.
But I discovered the "Peddlar". There are many different brands of this out there. Its just a set of pedals hooked together on a stand.
Of course its not like the work-out you would get with an exercise bike, but it allows you to sit on something soft like a bed, and even lay back on pillows, while you are exercising your knees and lower legs.
You can even put it on a table and exercise your arms.
I only use it for about 10 minutes two times a day, and it really makes my legs loosen up and feel better.
It cost me about $45.00 at a medical device store, but I've seen them at Walmart for about $26.
The only thing you have to be careful about is that the posts on the pedals get really hot after you use them.
But its one of those gentler types of exercise things that can help without hurting.
Just thought I'd mention it!
