A member asked:
What is the best excercise if i had major back and knee surgery 4+ years ago? swimming is out due to winter.

Low impact: You still need to exercise for health benefits. Low impact is always favored. This would include indoor swimming, biking, elliptical machine use. Walking is moderate impact but still better than high impact activities such as running or jumping.
