Leg day I do a 15 minute walking warm up and then squats. Or I cherry pick a crossfit workout that is leg heavy.
I mix in a spin class once a week to change things up which helps rest my bad knee and gives a little variety.

I do a little bit of weights as well, and I've worked in some ab workouts. I also alternate onto my spin bike (or real bike in the summer) for cardio variety.
Cardio gets a bad rep because it's
hard and
boring and you're not building up huge muscles to impress people with. There's no breaks, there's no glamour, it's just you against yourself sweating your ass off. But that's why it's the best to actually shed weight too.
