Crutches or crutchless

I've been on crutches for the last 2 months due to a knee injury and have been cursing them since the day I got them. Since joining this site and downloading the app onto my phone, I have found out that walking with crutches is a GREAT exercise! Just a 50 minute walk with them burns off 311 calories! After having a much needed giggle about it with a friend, I am starting to think that maybe I should hang on to them even after I don't need them!

Just had to share the fun! *grins*

    50 minutes, I get huffing and puffing after 2 and I am a very active person! My arms have definitely been burning from them though :)

    This is a great workout that I hope neither of you will have to do much longer! Wishing you speedy healing!
