Hi bombx, My advise is to rest your knee. If you can do some walking it might help. It will take longer but at least you won't do any more damage.

a participation in any martial art can be a great cardio session as well...I run for about 20 min then warmup and stretch for about 15 min before I start beating the hell out of my punshing bag...

but you ought to get some rest for the knee too heal propely
