    If you are injured, best not to rush things. I have been there before. I am dealing with multiple torn back muscles right now. On top of it a partial knee dislocation from about a year and a half ago. So I have been working on getting both stronger.

    The only suggestion i can give you is to walk but tape the ankle/foot first with a ace bandage, then regular sport tape. I would also soak it after in epsom salts because it helps sprains.

    Good luck on things. Take it slow and don't rush it.

    Can you swim? I would imagine if you can spin you can swim? Presumably it's weightbearing you need to avoid? But double check before you do it!

    Swimming would be a good bet too. Might even help rehabilitate the foot as well.

    You can do upper body work outs and abdominals. Here's a site that shows a bunch of exercises that work other areas of the body:

    There are a total of 187 exercises on here, most of which are done in some form of laying down or sitting.

    Sorry to hear that... I recently tore a tendon in my knee, which has kept me from 90% of what I want to do, too. I guess I'll just bump this thread for some more replies, because I also could use some suggestions on what can improve my conditioning not using my legs at all...
