What can you do for cardio exercise if you have achilles tendonitis?

Swim: Achilles tendonitis can be aggravated with running, walking, stairmaster, aerobic exercises. Swimming is an excellent way to get cardio exercise in while not stressing the achilles tendon.

Water exercise: Swimming or water aerobics are particular good for people who have sore joints or tendon problems. Start gradually and build up (as with any exercise).
