Total knee replacement almost 4 months ago?

I had a total right knee replacement done almost four months ago. I do not regret the surgery. I have returned back to work going on 4 weeks now. My job is physical. I have done the exercises that are required and feel stronger everyday. I lost almost 20lbs while in recovery. I want to continue the weight loss, and suggestions on other exercises i can add with out doing damage to my new knee. I am ready to work out more but my knee is still stiff at times.

    The best exercise for you would be swimming or aquacising. Being in the water does not put stress on the joints like land exercises and you can still get a good workout. Swimming laps for an hour will burn 600 to 900 calories.

    Do not diet but watch what you eat-- forgo all the high calorie foods in favor of more fruits vegetables and milk- One day a week treat yourself to a favorite food or dessert.

    Walking, riding a bike and swimming are the best exercises
