It's a Great cardio workout without the impact on joints.   Water as a rule is very relaxing.

Go fot it!!\n\nI've been waterskiing since i was about 13 (over 20 years) but only started to learn to wakeboard about 2 years ago. They are nothing like each other but it's good that you're used to being in the water. It took me about 40 attempts to get up the first time but my girlfriend got up on her first go! (Must have been my expert tuition after making all those mistakes!)\n\nOne tip for getting up - Pretty much as soon as the boat starts to pull turn your hips (to the right if you're right foot forward, to the left if your left foot forward) and also push your toes down.\nOnce up the tendency is to try and keep the board flat which makes it very difficult to control so keep your weight on your back foot which will ensure the fins are in the water and keeping you straight. After that it's just a matter of getting the feel for it and practise.\n\nGreat sport and i'm really enjoying doing something new.\n\nGood luck!!

I do lots of lunges and squats. Aso plyometric jumping, (only for strong good knees) which is basically jumping up from a squatting position and then landing gently back into a squat, for the advanced you jump onto and off a bench. (table?!)\nFind a hill, walk or run up it, walk or run down. Repeat. Use poles for this if you like (it's great for your skiing form, makes hiking safer and better exercise). No hill? find stairs, can you do them two at a time? build up to it. \nWALL SQUATS.....You sit with your back against a wall with knees at 90 degrees as if sitting in a chair, only, there is no chair, your quads and hamstrings hold you up. Hold and feel the burn for as long as you are able. :)\nStretch. Drink water stick to every other day or 3 times per week. Create a set routine you are able to complete. e.g. one set,15 reps of each. Then raise it as you improve.\nHave Fun this Winter !!!!!!

I hear nothing but good things about core strengthening on a pilates ball or exercise ball.  I've been swimming and that has toned my body up.  I'd research the core strengthening which will focus on your stomach and back.

swimming is the best and most complete exercise of all.  You get strength, flexibility and a cardio work out.  Not to mention the mental health benefits of being in the water.  Of course it would keep you young!  Any good non-impact exercise that conditions the whole body would keep anyone young!\n\nJust remember though, youth is all in the mind.  You're only as old as the person you feel.

Probably chair exercises.  Might see if you can find the TV show 'Sit and be fit' that comes on every day during the week...it is geared towards less straining exercises...good luck...

I don't know if you have access to a pool, but if you do it is one of the best things for doing recovery work on your legs. The coolness of the water is therapeutic and the water allows no weight bearing and great resistance and ease of movement. You can purchase water weights. \nIf you can't get to a pool. Get some therabands or exercise tubing or bands. They are great for recovery. You can use those with helping. Right now you want to work on getting your range of motion back. Nothing else. Don't worry about weights. Just concentrate on exercises that are going to help you with getting mobility to your knee. Once you get some really good mobility then work on strengthening.\nSounds like you are on the right path. You might also want to purchase a support brace that you can wear through out the day or while doing any type of phyiscal activities to keep you from re injuring it.  Best of LUCK...
