Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through your problem.

As you are at age 53, rather than going for gym equipment I recommend you to follow the steps I have mentioned below.

Do some yoga and pranayam for 30 minutes daily. It will help you a lot.
Walk for at least 15 minutes in the morning. Only brisk walking not jogging.
You can use a dumbbell and do some hand exercises. 20 repetitions for one hand and so for the other.
And drink lukewarm water twice daily.
Consult a dietician.
By following these above instructions you can easily lose 11 pounds in 2 months.
For knee pain, you can do some static quadriceps exercises. Place a towel roll under your knee and try to press it with the knee. Press it downwards.

I hope this helps.
