If you have a bad back or knees, in addition to strength training, try adding cardio that's easy on your joints but can still get your heart rate up. While I can't speak to your specific situation, consider low-impact forms of cardio such as swimming, recumbent biking, rowing, cross-country skiing, walking, and shadow boxing with light weights in each hand.

I've said it before and I'll say it again I LOVE CARDIO! I can't tell you enough about the great benefits of cardio. This is a great workout that you can really do anywhere and don't have to have a pricey gym to get your cardio in. If you are just starting out and intimidated by lifting weights or lack of knowledge about the equipment cardio can help you get more comfortable with the gym setting. Even if you can't get your strength training in getting some cardio in will give you the satisfaction of sweating it out. Make sure that you add cardio to your routine and keep up the hard work with your weight trainng.
