A member asked:
What would you suggest to help me lose fat with an acl injury?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
ACL + weight loss: Try activities that do not require pivoting, jumping or twisting. Swimming, bicycle riding, and straight-line jogging all produce minimal strain on the acl.

Swimming.: You may be able to tolerate swimming, which eliminates gravity, and allows you to exercise, and burn calories, with your ACL injury.
