Does exercise have to be 'sweaty'..?
I'm prompted by a remark made by Belfastgirl in answer to a recent thread of mine to ask what makes for useful exercise.

Not a money save, but a concern I've just had tonight which I hope to get some feedback on before I call the doctors in the morning. 5 weeks ago I had arthroscopy of the knee.
