I had foot surgery a couple of weeks ago. I need some exercises that I can do without having to use my foot. HELP!!!

    That's a challenge!!

    I guess arms workouts (like with dumbells), abs...
    Oh, also pilates, the kind you're lying on the floor

    For cardio, you can try punching in the air, that raises your heart rate..

    Good luck with the foot, I hope you have a nice recovery :flowerforyou:

    Try exercisetv.com and youtube ... look for workouts involving a chair or arm strengthening.

    Jillian Michaels recommends punches. Like boxing. Good luck. Sorry to hear that you are hurt.

    Do you belong to a gym? They often have equipment designed just for upper body cardio.

    Swimming if you don't have a cast.
