I've just started dieting again and I would like to add some exercise into my diet plan. At first I was doing a little strength and some cardio in the form of running. Two weeks ago I pushed my self a little too hard on the running and gave myself stress fractures in both of my legs. Because of this I can't do anything too stressful to my legs for about a month. Not being able to get a good work out is driving me crazy. Does anyone know of some things I can do for cardio that are not hard on the legs?
I know swimming is good but it's not always convenient to find a place to do it say, if one is coming home from work late in the evening.

    Probably a stationary bike since it's not weight bearing. There's also these arm bike things for rehab cardio for people with leg issues, but I've only ever seen them at a physical therapist's gym. I don't even know what they're called.

    Thanks! I'm gonna try that and maybe give the elliptical a shot. Hopefully two weeks goes by fast.
