    Cardio without using hands?

    edited January 21 in Fitness and Exercise
    I recently broke my hand and am looking for different types of cardio I can do.
    I currently am just jump roping for cardio, but after almost two weeks its getting kind of boring and I want to switch it up. I dislike running, so I'd like to stay away from that too. :)

    So what are some types of cardio I can do outside or in my home that don't require me to put my body weight or any weight on my hands?

    Thank you. :)

      Jumping jacks, pretend a jump rope is in your hand, or stationary biking are a few.

      What do you have available? You can do various DVD's (Zumba or other dance)

      Thinking about it, I don't have much. But I have heard great things about Zumba. :) I will have to go buy a DVD and try it out.

      And I don't want to pretend I am holding a jump rope, I already jump rope more than I want to. :) Haha.

      Search youtube and check out things before you buy. There are tons of dance type workouts out there or circuit training type that you can adapt for your injury

      I walk a lot. :) I just want something to get my heart going and something I enjoy. That's the only reason I don't take up running, I hate it and get angry when I do. :)

      Why do you hate running? It's most convenient with a broken hand

      if you put a backpack on with books or other heavy objects you could do weighted squats, lunges, and more.

      I guess you could twerk for 45 minutes instead.

      I would say dancing videos. Would never have to use you hand except move to dance your heart out. You can look them up online and find several in stores like walmart and target etc. Zumba or Hip Hop Abs Are some of the more well known.

      Do these on a bench and a step: step ups, power jump ups, toe taps, step hops just to name a few.
