@johnbishop Ten minutes is great! I do the elliptical at my club and barely make it to 20 minutes. I manage to do just over a mile in that amount of time.

To all the landlubbers and gym rats..... I’ve been heavily concentrating on swimming for exercise since it is so gentle and really loosens up the knee for the whole day. Currently up to 1/2 mile 2 to 3 days/week, once I got crazy and did 100 10-meter laps (55 minutes, part-time dodging fellow exercisers in the pool). For some reason recumbent bike aggravates my behind after 20 intense minutes (heart rate of 120 to 125), but I’m sure it is also great for getting the knee back in shape.
