    I :heart: my Tae Bo tape....but that sure isn't gonna help that ankle any! I work out on an elliptical at my gym, but the good ones for home use are quite pricey! I bring up the elliptical because it is zero impact, but I still do not think your ankle will allow you to do even that, it sounds.

    Sorry to hear about the ankle....

    You might want to check out www.glidingdiscs.com

    I bought these and was surprised by how tough the work out is (of course maybe I'm just a wimp :ohwell: )

    Another suggestion is a fitness circle. We used these in my pilates class and I love mine. You can find them on Amazon. ( FYI - the metal cirlce will last longer than the plastic, but the plastic will likely be cheaper.)

    Good luck and I hope you are back on your feet soon. Like other said on your other post, it's better to let this heal some before getting to ambitious with your workouts. I know....I know....it's tough to take a setback.

    Hang in there!

    Elliptical machine is the way to go! Low impact, high calorie burn, and quiet. That might be a bit much for what you are looking for, but this is my area of expertise. If you need more help than that, I can definately point you in the right direction. I personally own an elliptical and home gym. There is nothing better on the market regardless of what tv ads say. And, there is a huge distinction in quality of equipment. So, let me know if I can be of any help.

    Best of luck
