Exercise?

I have a stress fracture in my ankle. I am not supposed to be up on my feet, and need to keep my foot up. This is majorly hindering my weight loss. I am still watching what I eat, but hate not being able to burn extra calories by exercising. Anyone know of anything I can do while sitting in a recliner that doesn't require special equipment like weights. As I do not have any.

    You might feel a bit silly but you can use anything for weights. Cans, soda bottles etc. For example, A 2L soda bottle (full with soda or water) would be good for double tricep extensions. Use cans for biceps curls, increase the reps due to the light weight. And so on... Try searching YouTube for seated workouts too!
    Good luck with your recovery! :flowerforyou:
