I've just recently broken my ribs - high up on the right side - very sore :sad:

What exercise have others who has also been through this done while they are healing?

The last time I did this (almost a year ago exactly!) I was away on holidays so exercise wasn't exactly part of my plan then anyway!

I'm not stressing out about it and I guess I will figure stuff out as time goes on, but it would be interesting to hear other suggestions...

I had been doing a lot of Bikram Yoga and walking the dog. I guess yoga is out and my chubby dog might get a few extra walks :bigsmile:

    Just be careful if your dog is a 'puller'!! I've never had broken ribs, but I once walked a friend's out of control dog and had a sore upper back for DAYS afterwards because she pulled so hard!

    Last year it was my left side while indoor sky-diving, this time it is the right side after tripping in hole in footpath and falling onto my camera.

    Bones all good - just clumsy owner...

    Walking's about all you can do really, you're limited by anything making you breath hard. Just do me a favour and hit your calcium RDA, just incase
