| I suffered a foot injury in September - most likely a bad tendon or ligament tear on the outside and below the ankle. It still hurts like a sob. It's been time to work out for weeks now but there is no way I can get on my eliptical, or any other impact exercise. What else can I try for aerobic exercise that doesn't involve foot action?? |

Oh, I have no job so no $$$ for anything outside the house. I have a nicely equipped weight room, but pushing weights is not aerobic. The biggest body of water I have to work with is horse tanks! LOL!
Yoga would be great. I'll take a look around the internet and netflix and see if I can find a workout that might do the trick. What the heck is a burpee?? I'll go look into that too . . .
eta - nope on the burpee! I need to either be completely stationary on that foot if standing, or preferrably off the foot completely. I know it needs medical attention, but that isn't happening until I get a job. Copays could be enough to take the horse food budget.

Location: Phoenix | I did the exact same thing to my foot. It took me about 6 months to feel comfortable in boots and riding aggressively. Took about a year for it to quit throbbing after activity or hot showers/baths.
I would look into Pilates or yoga. Although with those you have to be careful wih poses, some aren't foot friendly. Also, once it's feeling pretty good, the T-25 workout series has a low-impact option to follow. |
