Suggestions for cardio that will give my knee a break?

Thanks for all the responses. I stopped doing plyo legs and went to squat rack legs and have been avoiding step cardio. That has helped a lot. I think plyo kicked me into a tailspin... I just need to alternate step with others and probably should avoid plyo altogether...

Are you feeling better, now? Is your knee still twingy at all? I'm thinking of getting some Classic Stretch DVDs along with that Total Body Solutions series.

Cathe - Can you give us old folks a DVD to use for our torn broken bodies?

It still gets sore anytime I do a step workout or bounce around but it is not hurting during the day when I'm not doing the workout, so that is an improvement. Also when I wear certain heels... I was told some time ago that I have a deteriorating knee from being not quite aligned correctly -chondromalacia or something like that (without much of an exam so honestly I don't feel it is a true diagnosis.) If it gets worse or stays bad, I'll go to a doctor that has more experience with active people and see what can be done.

Stretching does help. I know the quad stretches help a lot!

Ditto that!
