no or very low impact exercises

I am battling an injured plantar fascia tendon and spend a lot of time in an air cast. It has definitely put a stop to my walking and my Zumba classes. Anyone have any similar issues that has found a great way to exercise without stressing that tendon?

try biking, great cardio and easy on the joints.

I suffer autoimmune arthritis and so am entirely unable to do any kind of impact exercise.
I would recommend you do swimming and/or aquafit, pilates and seated aerobics.
Don't be fooled by the aerobics being sitted, it still works you up into one heck of a sweat. You can still work your lower body doing the seated aerobics if you invest in a resistance band. These are pretty cheap. I have Leanne Grose's chair workout dvd and its fab. It also has a small pilates section in it too.
Good luck.

I would suggest swimming - great cardio!

you may find biking too stressful on your plantar fasciia, but if not thats a fab idea as the stretch in your foot as you pedal may be beneficial. also, I meant to say you can find seated aerobics dvds on amazon.

deep water aerobics! I know all the old ladies do it but you can get a good workout without your feet hitting the ground, regular lap swimming is great too. My gym has aqua Zumba

And swimming is a great exercise
