If running is bleak on your joint, what is a dutiful entry (aerobic exercise) to do instead?

I would like to build muscle on my legs, but running is unpromising for my knees. I bike everyday (10 miles, 17 mph) in the morning, but will that do it? p.s. I am contained by really good shape.

Answer:
To build leg muscles, densely and rapidly, I will suggest you look in a gym and use some specific gym apparatus designed to build muscles based on the routines you walk through.
speed-walking
Biking is good, but if you do it every light of day you'll start to gain butt muscle. Other words, you'll get a bigger butt.

Do aerobic video. Look up Denise Austin, she has great video.
swimming, dancing, walking,
dont be putting alot of pressure on the knees joint.. at hand are aerobic videos and when you are doing lunges.squats anything near the knees the instructors tell you how to protect your knees.
For women who are faithfully interested in a dignified level of conditioning and developing a strong, fit body, I recommend www.musclewithattitude.com

It's geared toward fitness and amount compeititors, so it tends to walk much further than most women are interested in. However, it's not resembling you can't slow down once you reach your intended hope. :)

Personally? For building leg muscles and rehabilitating knees, I look to squats of varying types: front squats, zercher squats, dumbbell squats, and the standard back squat -- usually done near a wide stance so that the shins remain upright to the floor in the bottom (thighs parallel to the floor) position. This stance, standard for powerlifting, spares the knees and strengthens the thighs, glutes, and hips.

I've also found that, one-sidedly, sprinting is a Hell of a lot easier on my knees than distance/endurance running, or even biking, and it develops murderer legs. It's also a superior fat-burner. Skipping's another great exercise for fat-burning (if done with speed and intensity) but won't do much for building strong legs.
didn't you already answer this sound out for yourself? i mean you did influence u biked everyday for 10 miles and were within really good shape...
As long as your biking as at a lofty intensity it should do a good opportunity of building leg muscles. You might want to build in a sunshine or two of rest, as muscle is build when you are resting, not working it out (sounds abnormal, but it's true).

You could try something like this:
Monday: Bike 10 miles
Tuesday: Bike 10 miles, 3 sets of 10 stationary lunges (10 per leg)
Wednesday: Rest (or upper body work)
Thursday: Bike 10 miles
Friday: Bike 10 miles, 3 sets of 10 stationary lunges (10 per leg)
Saturday: Swim (if you know how) or row for 30 minutes
Sunday: Rest

This should combine the right amount of cardio and rest to really tolerate you see of muscles growth on your legs.
