Elliptical machines, bicycles, and swimming are all excellent for cardio training without causing excessive wear and tear on knees. If you like to take group classes, try water aerobics or spinning.

Water exercises are the gentlest on your bones and joints, as the water supports your body. You can stand in chest-deep water without having to put all your weight on one leg or the other while you exercise whatever muscle group you're needing.

You can do some breathing exercise by sitting straight on the chair. For getting comfort for your neck, you can rotate your head from left to right five times and right to left five times which can be continued for a few minutes. while rotating your head backward, breath in and breath out while doing vice versa.
