Permanent Ankle Damage

Hello! I fractured my ankle last December and it still hasn’t healed (I may have to have surgery if the current treatment we are using doesn’t work). In the meantime, I am wondering if anyone has any aerobic exercises they do that don’t involve a lot of running/walking? I can put weight on it, but it is trying to heal so I do my best not to.

    Ouch. I fractured my ankle this past April but thankfully it has healed well.

    If I were in your shoes I’d work on my core and hip flexibility. No ankle work at all.

    Look on YouTube. There are probably a lot of floor routines that work around an injured ankle.
