Does anyone know of any cardio excercises that you can do with a really bad sprained ankle?

    Someone posted a link to this article not too long ago. Maybe it'll be of some help?

    I too am on crutches with a bad ankle sprain. Yesterday, I played wii boxing while sitting for awhile and worked up a good sweat while having fun. Also if you have a gym membership, many have hand cycles that can be used. Hopefully, you can feel better soon and can at least get into a pool once the swelling is down and you have a good range of motion back. You'll be able to swim before you can walk/jog or be on an elliptical. Good Luck!
