Cardio (for weightloss) for a teenager with Retrocalcaneal Bursitis ideas?

i need some sort of cardio workout that i can do. i can't join a gym because my parents won't let me. i can't jump-rope because of the Retrocalcaneal Bursitis (same with running, it hurts me to even walk sometimes). i have no access to a swimming pool. i like to skateboard and ride my bike, but i don't see how that can work for cardio because i do that all the time and don't even sweat or get out of breath. i am 16 and weigh 180. i'm also doing sit-ups on a exercise ball every day. along with cutting back on food. can anyone give me some cardio ideas so i can lose 40 pounds?

Pilates, while not cardio, would be ideal for your situation. Your biking is actually good, try more varied routines, up hills, biking faster, etc - really push yourself.

Try some aerobics videos and yoga booty ballet.

Give weight training a try. While not cardio, it will help you burn calories at a higher rate and improve the efficiency of your cardio work. You can get some simple weights inexpensively at your local walmart or target.

The internet also has some great workout plans. Self.com and Crossfit are the favorites of my husband and myself.
