Recovering from ankle surgery
I am 10 weeks out from ankle surgery and finally got to take off my cam boot. Any suggestions for easy exercise to get back in shape but won't involve any heavy weight, force, or flexing on my ankle. I am hoping to do more than walking and I cannot swim to save my life.
