Hopeful, you might want to do some mild resistance machines for your legs. The leg presses, with slow mild weights, will build muscle faster than the aerobic machines, which are more for cardio. Don't put too much weight to start, and do only 5 or so reps to start. Have someone help you to begin if possible, who understands the leg presses. You lie on your back and push a plate and this is like squats but easier.

If you have some whey protein in a shake each day you do your gym, you might see some improvement faster.
The branched chain amino acids in the whey really help build lean muscle.
