Sitting Cardio - Cardio with Sprained Ankle

Raynne413

I severely sprained my ankle New Year's Day, so needless to say, working out is rather difficult. I've been doing footwork with ankle weights for lower body, abs, regular upper body strength, and Pilates. I've also been doing TaeBo and Les Mills combat while sitting in a chair. I can at least still do knee raises, punches, and front kicks. Does anyone else have any suggestions of what I can do? I only work out at home.

just heal. seriously you will heal quicker and be able to be back on your feet if you just take a week off

Boxing - practice all of those punches, even better if you have gloves or light weights
Upper body exercises with light weights
Chair dancing with big arm movements and lots of body rolls
Can you lay on your back and move your legs? If so, you can do bicycles, scissors, etc.

Thank you for the suggestions!

Of course I'll focus on healing, but I remember the last time I twisted this ankle, it took months for it to heal enough for me to come out of the walking boot. I'm on blood thinner so it takes longer for everything to heal.
