    Find exercises that don't feel painful, even if they are partials. Slowly get to good ROM and then overload them.
    Make sure your nutrition is good. Muscle tears happen a lot of the time because of subpar hydration with low electrolytes (salt, potassium, calcium, magnesium). They are common in sports that athletes have to cut a lot of weight and then drink a ton of water after weighins to make up for the lost weight.

          What’s your suggestion to help nana burn off the calories from the fresh baked cookies she’s sharing with you?

    Cardio bunny ass shapers.

    Walk backwards on the treadmill. Do 15 - 30 minutes at 2 incline, and same at 8 ... max incline. Don't go above 1 mph.

    Walk sideways on the treadmill. Shuffle, don't try foot over foot unless you want to fall. Do both sides. Do 15 - 30 minutes at 2 incline, and same at 8 ... max incline. Don't go above 1 mph.

    Walk forward on treadmill. Do 30 minutes on 2 incline, then 30 minutes on 8 ... max incline. Don't go above 3 mph.

    Increase difficulty by increasing time and speed. I like to switch between them as I increment: increase time, then increase speed, then time, ...

    Don't do something that feels unsafe.

    Do all cardio on a dedicated cardio day.

    For additional ass shaping buy a roll of floss band, tie it in a loop around your knees, and walk sideways in a half squat position from one side of the dance room to the other, then back while facing the same direction (this hits both sides).

    All this should strengthen your knee and hip stabilizers, help your connective tissue heal, smooth/round your ass and legs, reduce blood pressure, and reduce heart rate.

    Squats but lower the weight
    Best way to get injured again and again is to not put weight on that area while you rehab it
    You need to train it as much as you can without reinjuring it
    If not that knee will get weaker and be more prone to injury later
