Hello everyone ,

    Hello,

    Sorry to hear about your injury I know the feeing. First, check with your physician on what is safe for you to do.

    Do you have a pool? Pool exercises are good especially for injuries.

    If you don't, you can do chair exercises and use resistance bands. There are some videos on youtube withreally cool fun chair exercises that really make you sweat.

    My physical therapist told me walking on crutches also burns calories.

    You may be able to do floor exercises such as leg raises, leg lifts ab exercises.

    Good luck, hope you feel better soon!

    See a doctor/physio to check your foot is ok.

    If you're not losing weight it's because you're eating too much. Weigh everything you eat with food scales.

    A while back, before summer, I injured my metatarsus and was in a boot for 6 weeks. The only advice I have is to not allow this become an emotional or mental set back for you. I did <<hanging head>> and gained 10 pounds back. DO NOT DO IT! Injury and illness should never be our excuse. I hope you heal up soon!!

    This bears repeating! Thank you so much for posting and I added it to my youtube collection. This is not only good during an injury, seniors can use it and so can people with back problems!!

    Hi,
    I'm really sorry you hurt yourself.

    You will not gain weight as long as you continue to eat healthy and watch you calorie intake.
    Definitely check with your doctor about any restrictions and what excersises they feel you should be doing at this time.They really know what's best.

    I have a ankle injury from a car accident, I am very limited to what I can do, but I still can get one heck of a burn.
    I use hand weights quite a bit for my workouts, I also like chair aerobic workouts. Water aerobics and pool workouts are awesome and feel great on the joints!
    If you want add me, I've lost 63 lbs since March. I have been doing this for awhile. I'm always willing to help someone.

    My doctor advised me not to walk too much. My leg is swollen pretty weird and I aught to avoid pressing on it ><
