: Cycling is your best option,as it doesn’t put pressure on the areas you are having problems with and is an excellent cardio exercise.Take frequent breaks at first and make sure the bike fits you well. If you already own a bike, you can also look into getting a trainer to put your own bike on(especially if your bike fits you well). If you’re doing physical therapy, also ask the therapist for ideas.
