Fractured Foot - Exercise ideas?!

Amber52291

On the last day of April, I fractured a bone in my foot. The doctor at the hospital said that I should elevate and ice it at least 3 times a day and prescribed me with painkillers. Lately, it hasn't been bothering me too bad but I'd still like to take it easy so it heals properly.
Any ideas on exercises I can do without straining my foot?

You can still do upper body strength training, and you can do floor work for lower body. I severely sprained my ankle at the beginning of the year, and I bought one of those exercise ball chairs and did zumba while sitting on it. I did all of the upper body parts and just moved my feet like I was walking, but still did the kicks, knee lifts, etc. The bounciness of the ball kept my butt and tailbone from killing me.

Yoga is nice. You can do some upper body weight training also, preferably with a chair or bench so you don't have to stand.

Hand pedal thingy - I've seen them for about $25. Not as good as a cycle class but itwill get your heart pumping.
