I'm looking to keep increasing my endurance when I can't do lower body exercises. Are there any interesting high-intensity programs out there that don't rely on your legs?
For reference, Beachbody's Insanity and P90X Plyometrics are what I typically use for a cardio workout. Ideally I'd like a similar level of interval/circuit training that I can do at home when my knee is cranky.
I don't know of a program. But as a boxer I would suggest you try a speed bag and you could pair that with body weight hanging exercises.
I would say that doing rowing without weights, canoeing, kayaking, and throwing punches(wear gloves) at a bag are all forms of good upper body cardio.
