@hchavers We use a recumbent exercise bike also due to persistent knee issues. It works pretty well. But if I had it to do it again or when this one wears out, I’d get one that combines a rower equivalent with the bike or just a straight rower to get upper body involved.

I ride a bike as a means of transportation. But I enjoy it enough that I can understand why people do it for fun.
I walk as a means of transportation, which is conveniently always available (though not always viable). And it’s not so bad. It’s a form of exercise I can stand to do (no pun intended).
But jogging/running … I hate it so much that I only use it to avoid missing the bus, the train, or an IRK. I can’t understand how anyone in their right mind would willingly choose to do it for fun under any circumstances. (Plus it’s one of the more damaging exercises, isn’t it?)
@xobzoo Running is great! It’s potentially damaging if your form is really bad, or if you’re big.
If you want to be able to run for decades and decades the best thing you can do is stay small. I think that’s where the idea that running is “damaging” came from. Running is going to be a lot rougher on your joints if you weigh 250lbs than if you weigh 100lbs.
I know people who have been running regularly for over fifty years.
Not fit at all. Also known as physical fatness.
I don’t understand. These are all activities. Physical Fitness is a state of health and well-being.
Running is for d*cks.
@mcanavino
It’s more of a waddle, I don’t think ducks can run.
@mcanavino Nah. Running on docks or decks tends to end in a fall.
@rockblossom well by then it’s too cold to run by the ocean.

If your dick is running have your partner(s) checked at the clinic.
Just sayin’ …
The kind that causes sweating

My knees can’t take the pounding of running. I wonder if there’s something that could help?
@hchavers Bicycling.
@hchavers A lot of things:

This didn’t mention swimming, but that is excellent if you have access to a pool (private or public) and is very low impact on old joints (like mine).

The kind you have to get out of bed for.
Eating a cheeseburger. That’s neither Fit nor Ness.
Squats, lunges, and jumping jacks.
