I am in the same situation. The only uphill around here is the bridge. I am thinking of just getting a treadmill as I am also not comfortable working out in gyms.

Separately Are there knee braces that are particularly helpful to off set the cardiac work out versus wear & tear on knee?

Is there a way to do this test that is easy on the knees? I cannot run and a treadmill at 15% incline is not an option as from experience I know i will be out for weeks due to my knee. Can I use a bicycle or peloton in some way?

Everest Basecamp March/April 2022. I should have really scheduled a partial knee replacement in stead of this but there you have it. I have not been doing much since Covid but have done triathlons and an Ironman. Living in Florida but planning on moving somewhere for 3 months so I can train better at altitude should that make sense. Trying to strengthen my legs so my knee will not act up.
