I've gone to 30 minutes of high intensity excercise biking a day. I think I go about 8 km's, and burn 250 calories. I also get to watch family guy while I do it. I usually bike before I go and work on a body part or two using weights and machines, but I'm thinking of shifting the biking part to the end of my workout after some of the things I've read.

I assume you work out at home rather than the gym since you watch Family Guy, but I've also found that my knee hurts if I use the treadmill. I've been using the elliptical machine for my cardio and found it's way way easier on my joints. I like to crank the intensity up to 25/25, and in 45 minutes + a 5 minute cooldown I'm buring over 1100 calories on the elliptical. If you do have access to one, you should give it a try for sure.
