Cross trainer
I had a ACL and cartilage operation on my knees in 2006 and 2007. On advice of consultant bought cross trainer which also is a bike (two in one). It is the best thing I have bought. There is no impact on the knees, and my times have got better and knees stronger. Listening to good music and playing football for 18 months has made me improve my times. There is also no fatigue or aches on the legs.
Just thought I would share that with you.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

Re: Cross trainer
That's good to hear. I knew of a guy that had a torn ACL and he uses a Cross Trainer and Stair Master. He'd always tell me, you don't need to run to get good cardio.
If you hear a voice within you saying that I am not a painter, then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.

Re: Cross trainer
45 Minutes every morning on the cross trainer - love it. I've got a bit a problem with my Achilles at the moment, but I can still use the cross trainer without any issues.

Re: Cross trainer
I got a cross trainer really cheap ages ago, great device. Although i do more swimming now and don't go on the cross trainer as much, i still use it from time to time.I had a ACL and cartilage operation on my knees in 2006 and 2007. On advice of consultant bought cross trainer which also is a bike (two in one). It is the best thing I have bought. There is no impact on the knees, and my times have got better and knees stronger.

Re: Cross trainer
My achilles hurts more from impact of playing football indoor and outdoor. No re-action with the cross trainer at all on the achilles. Feel the muscle being developed as well. I use to run a lot but with the kids it is much quicker to do and stay in the house.
