Good morning!
It's very early on a Sunday morning here in Colorado, and I wanted to see about getting an opinion from all of you experts!

Resultant from a hiking injury, I had total knee replacement three months ago. My doctor just gave me the green light for any type of exercise except "pounding" exercises like running.
I would like to know:
1. Has anyone reading this ever had a knee replacement? If so, what was your approach to getting back into a good exercise routine.
2. Are any of you figure/ice skaters? Please share your advice!
I have a sense of urgency about getting into a vigorous workout routine again, since my injury prevented me from getting the exercise I need, and I put on about 40 pounds. I went from a size 5 jeans to a size 10-12! YIKES!
I'm eager and anxious to hit this hard, feel healthy and energetic again, and get back into my favorite size fives!
Thanks for your opinions and help!
