    Hey I had to stop kickboxing due to torn ligaments in my ankle, followed by another injury on it causing my ankle to keep slipping the minute I try to run.
    Cardio wise i started to do jumps with one foot whilst holding weights and raising above my head. bit girlish but thought myight give you some ideas.
    Also swiming..... leg raises and leg lifts....

    good luck with the ankle !!!

    Swimming is the obvious low impact cardio

    Caloric deficit for weight loss. Exercise for health. Swimming?

    Boxing with light handweights, you can even do it sitting down and still get your heart rate up.

    Lane swim! Amazing cardio and moves the whole body but gentle on injuries.
