Post-Knee Replacement Workout: Watch This Video And Learn Some Simple Exercises

Knee replacement surgery can be quite painful. Post-surgery care often requires the patient to either remain in bed or keep physical activity to a bare minimum. This can lead to weight gain, causing other health complications. Fitness expert Yasmin Karachiwala posted a video where she is seen demonstrating a few easy and basic exercises that can be done by lying down in bed itself to ensure that you remain fit despite surgery. She posted the video along with the caption, “You can't help getting older, but you can definitely help getting fitter, with me.”
