Does anyone know the name of the aerobic workout video that was marketed on VHS in the late 70's and 80's? »

How does one lose weight when they have health problems and can't do aerobic exercise?

I have knee osteoarthritis or something, i'm 26 but february 2006 just did some knee bending and now i can't even run or do anything that i couuld do before. And i have alot of flab in around my waist. I can't even do push ups that much cause i have a chest torn injury that i acquired in 1998. Anyways, so i can do things like situps, or stand on one spot and lift a weight, such as a backpack full of books. that feels good but i don't feel like that is much aerobic exercise. I always hear aerobic exercise is the best for losing weight,, but how can i do it if i'm injured?

I would speak with your doctor about what exercises would be best. It sounds to me like you may benefit from trying swimming as an aerobic exercise, since it is very low-impact and can increase your flexibility as well as give you a good whole-body workout.
