2 days home from not working and I am going crazy. I have a TPF so I'm on crutches for now until I get a brace. I can't even walk my dog... so she's with my parents since I can't even care for her appropriately. Any ideas of things I can do to burn off energy that doesn't include my legs? lol

By the way... swimming is out of the question for another 3 weeks til my parents open their pool. I can't afford a different gym membership with a contract just because they have a pool. I am in danger of being laid off in another company buys my job, so I can't go spending money like that.

I do find crutches to be a rather tense workout on my abs though! LOL

    Do you have dumbbells? You could do some upper body strengthening

    I was thinking that. Weights while sitting or laying down.

    Good idea to the both of you! I do have some, so I suppose I can do that while watching TV, lol. Won't it look weird if my upper body is much stronger than my lower?

    You won't be getting really big so no, people won't see a huge difference unless you lift extremely heavy, change your diet and train like crazy
