What equipment do you have? If you have a heated indoor pool, you might try swimming, but not everyone has access. My gym also has a "arm bike" - a stationary bike you pedal with your arms, but again, not everyone has access.
I tried to do heart-rate-rising UB workouts, based on some tips I got from here (I forget who gave them...Meg? Mel? Sorry for lack of credit to appropriate person):
1. Lift heavier weights than normal
2. Rest less between sets
3. Add some heart rate increasing exercises in between...tricep dips, pushups, etc. When my knee was out, I did both of these with only my good leg on the floor and my bad leg crossed on top of the good one.
