    not sure if people will agree with my post but i worked out after i had foot surgery. there is a move on Jillian MIchaels 30DS you can do punches with 3lb weights while sitting down and some ab exercises are also possible. You can do a combo of cardio and strength with the upper body and worry about lower body WHEN YOU GET THE GREEN LIGHT FROM YOUR DOCTOR! 3 weeks after surgery I had a boot and as ridiculous as it looked I went to the gym and got on the eliptical 2-3 times a week. There are options but make sure you rest and heal and make that your priority over weight loss during your recovery period

    Thanks jlanab and 4baby for your comments.

    I'm having a toe fusion and cannot put any weight on it for 6 wks. NO WEIGHT at all, I have been warned, if I want it to be successful. After that I'll get a boot and be able to walk without crutches for the first time.
    So no gym or elliptical for me, but I do hope to do some upper body things.
    I have learned from when I have laid up before, for various reasons, I don't really feel like doing much. Hopefully this will be different!
    But you are right jlanab, healing is first priority.

    I never thought about my back hurting from being uneven. I sure hope you get better quickly 4baby, and loose the boot!
