My doctor keeps telling me I have to exercise more to keep my blood pressure under control, but I don't know what I should do or how long I should do it. I have bad knees, so running is out of the question.

I have been trying different diets (low-carb, high-protein, high-fiber, etc.), but nothing works for me!
