So I've somehow hurt my foot. Currently walking with a limp, can't bend or flex without ouchiness (that's a technical term, btw). Any ideas on cardio I can do seated? Or just standing?

    Well, I have plantar (undiagnosed) in my right foot so I avoid high impact workouts like running, so I do the elliptical and the stationary bike. Both machines get my heart rate past 170 if I really push it. I combine both machine workouts in a n hour's time and get a 700+ cal burn (I have a hrm). So far, my foot's been doing better than post-running.

    A rowing machine might do the trick.

    You can do exercise bike, I have seen people do elliptical with casts, braces, etc on foot, leg...I guess it depends on your coordination

    Do punches, or you can purchase one of those "cycles" that you can do sitting down or place on a table to work your arms.

    Swim, if you have access to a Wellness Center. Many times a dr can refer you and your membership is reduced.
