Okay, obviously I can't do any walking for a while, but I still want to do some arm exercises and maybe see how many calories using crutches burns up. Suggestions?

And for those of you wondering how bad the break is, it was on the fibula (the bone behind the shin bone), and the doctors say I could probably walk on it just fine in a few weeks. It's nothing too serious, but it still really hurts.

    Punches such as uppercuts, speedbag, et cetera. You can increase speed to up your heart rate.

    If your crutches are anything like mine, you're gonna burn up your armpits more than anything else. Don't overdo it.
