Exercise Ideas Please

[mhairi-lou]

So I have spent the afternoon reading through some of the posts on the forum and one of the stickies mentions how important exercise is.

Unfortunately I broke my ankle in june and after a couple of ops I am still in plaster and will be for quite a while yet.

Does anybody have any ideas of how I can get some kind of exercise?

Thanks

swimming is great, walking... but your in plaster hmmmm

you could try posting in the exercise section,theres a lot of exercise help there

doing anything that gets your heart rate up for now would be fab. until you are able to move about more maybe try going for a short walk with your crutches (assuming thats what you have)
try some arm muscle building exercises... stomach crunchs.. it all helps and will get your heart rate going...
