Other Low/No-Impact Exercises?

I've decided that since I'm off my bike for 8 days per month, I'd rather spend my time doing other gentler, low-to-no impact exercises. So far I've been doing Tai Chi. It didn't really seem like exercise at first, but since you don't stop moving, it sure feels like one afterward.

I used to do modified pilates, think I may take that up again (if I can just get myself on/off the floor... lol!), but no walking/running/jogging for me. My bad knee took a fall the other day and can barely handle the about-to-sit position :(

If you have access to a pool, you could try aqua jogging.

... with the caveat that the belt puts a considerable amount of pressure on the midsection. I am loving water running (well, the effects of it anyway, not really the workout which doesn't get any more boring), and I know some people do it with the footies alone and no belt, but that's definitely "advanced class." If your abdomen is super sore, water running might not be the best workout either. :(
