After a knee replacement, you may want to get back on your feet. Follow these tips when you’re ready to exercise again:

*  Ask your doctor before you try any new exercise.

*  Continue to do the exercises your doctor or physical therapist prescribed.

*  Consider swimming, biking and walking, as they’re easy on the knees.

*  Limit or avoid high-impact exercise like running, skiing or racquetball.
