Hi
Due to a leg injury that is getting progressively worse, I can't really do anything that involves much lower body movement. I am starting physio next week, but there is little prospect of it helping and am likely to need surgery soon.
I used to walk 4 miles a day, and also used to run 2-3 times a week, normally doing about 15 - 20 miles, and did a couple of marathons.
Since my leg has got so bad, I've not done anything. My hubby has weights that I could use, but I'm not convinced that just doing arm exercises will do anything for my overall fitness. I have dug out my old wii and wii fit, so trying to do a little of that, but I've been surprised at how much lower body movement there is even in things mostly for arms.
I hate feeling so unfit, does anyone have any suggestions? I can't go swimming as we have no spare cash due to me needing to take the bus everywhere.
Any help would be brilliant
