Running!
I always thought that my really bad knees meant I could never run. But about 2 years ago I hunkered down with my eating and lost 20 lbs, dedicated myself to my workouts, and incorporated 1 day/week of intervals/HIIT/tabata. With newfound strength in my knees I tried a 5k race doing run/walk intervals. My knees held up great and I finished the race. Now I try to incorporate run/walk intervals about once a month. It's not sustained running, but so much more than I ever thought I could do.
