Low impact exercises because of foot -- ideas?

HealthyHoney30

I fell a few months ago in my bathroom and hurt my foot. I'm taking an anti inflammatory and go for my follow up with the podiatrist on Thursday. I also have a mild bunion that had been aggravated by it. She said I can do low impact exercise but I miss doing Insanity and running. Any ideas on different exercises I could try or modifications? She did say water aerobics would be good but I'm terrified of water (pools). The area that can't take a lot of pressure is the bone on the outside of my left big toe.

How about cycling?

I injured both of my feet and the one thing that really helped was cycling. You can keep the resistance at a comfortable level while you are healing and increase it as necessary. This helped keep me in shape while I was on the mend

Swimming, elliptical, rowing as well as the already mentioned cycling. Lots of options. Running certainly isn't the only thing out there.

ETA: I see swimming may not be your thing, but if you can't swim it is a good idea to learn for your own safety.

Thanks. I forgot to mention I have a spin bike ... poor thing must be lonely. I've been staying with my mom since my sister passed away a couple of months ago and haven't been able to use it. Thanks again.
