I had my ACL reconstructed in August last year. I’ve been really lazy with my exercises given but have been discharged from hospital with an instruction that it’s fine to resume full contact sports training. What i want is some exercises that can help build my hamstring and thigh muscles up. Am aiming to do a charity run in June so want things to build up to then.

    Jog in the shallow end of the pool if possible.
    That will not be taxing on your knee.

    If you are trying to do a charity run in June I would suggest running.

    the swimming pool idea sounds like a good one, will have no impact on your knee.
    Start of walking then lights jogs and build it up, also what about cycling to help strenghen up your knee, when exercising you should strap it up for added protection. Good luck
