Set back Broke toe

AprilJG79

Well I'm pretty sure I broke my big toe tonight. My foot slipped and I *kitten* planted/slid down the wooden stairs while I was walking down them and my big toe stopped me (all 200lbs) from hitting the wall. Black and blue but not missed shaped. It's my natural grace at work. Ice, wrapped, elevated & took ibuprofen.

I just started working out again after a few months break from training and not cutting. I'm on the 3rd week of Turbo Fire and it looks like I'm going to have to put that on hold for a bit. I'll focus on weight training for now. Does anyone have any advice on caring for the toe and what kind of workouts I can do during this down time?

I just bought the NRoLfW book and will read that soon but I don't have a routine. Any advice would be grateful. TIA

Do you have a gym with machines available?

While perhaps not the best, any resistance training will help in a deficit, and in several of the iso leg machines, you don't even push, so no problem support on the foot. And the sled or leg press machine, you can push with heel and no weight on forefoot.

Real bummer, but good idea seeing what you can do. Swimming for cardio perhaps just to increase TDEE. Stair machine careful with only heel press.

Great suggestions thanks heybales.
I have an old bowflex here at home that has leg attachments, pull-up bar, curl bar and lots of free weights. I mostly use the barbells or curlbar. I cannot afford a gym membership right now.
I forgot to include I have hyper extended knees (I just recently discovered) I don't know if that makes a difference or not with a leg press machine.
I will do my best at home and try to find a good routine. I have a goal I want to reach by my birthday a few months away and even if I don't hit it, I want to do my best to get there.
