I got a recumbent exercise bike and am now up to 30 minutes a day. I make myself use it daily. 6 mo ago when I first got it, I had seat as far back as it would go and could barely get my knee to make the revolution then got up to 5 minutes, now 30. It has helped my knee alot, takes awhile to feel improvement. I can do steps now. Still have some stiffness but nothing lile it was
