Hello I have a sprained ankle... and I am just wondering if there are any bodyweight exercise routines I can do to prevent any loss of the little muscle tone I have achieved so far. I am asking for equipment free exercises as I am evacuated from my home due to threat of fire and have no equipment with me. But I need to exercise to relieve my stress.

    When I had a broken ankle, I would go swimming

    I injured my ankle too. I've been doing pilates everyday since. It's hard work but yet very relaxing, good stress relief. I'm 10 days in, and went swimming yesterday (slowly), and it went well...

    I'm almost happy I injured my ankle because I had been doing heavier stuff and as much as I like it, pilates always brought me good results and is enjoyable. I plan on keeping it in my regular routine now.

    Oh and by the way, good luck with your question.. I asked the same one 10 days ago and got my head chewed off because I was thinking of exercising when clearly I should have been in bed eating ice cream and donuts because life ends when you have pain in a joint..

    (LOL) After my cast came off, I finished my scuba certification in Hawaii, and went on a dive trip to Jamaica, I was going to make the best of my time off :-)
