Ok i will do, I wont be able to do deads and squats as the cast comes to just below knee level, ankle is immobilised...so I dont think I will be able to? What single leg exercises can I do? I can think of pistol squats, leg curls and quad raises using the resistance machines... are there any others?...

thanks very much for the advice, I was doing planks before I realised Id broken foot by putting the bad foot ontop of other one if you get me, is this not a good way to do the plank?

I was reading the nutritional value on a flapjack today after I had been doing boxing training at lunch (and was extremely hungry). Post workout are flapjacks potentially any good for you? high sugar content, good, fibre, oats (complex carbs i think), moderate (but not enough, so had a decent sandwi...

Ok thanks guys. Ill reduce carbs in evening meals but not eliminate then, mabye just a small portion of pasta/rice/potatoes etc... Sports drinks i sometimes drink before sport are lucozade mind and body energy, they contain round about 300 cals or something like that and i have felt that they gave m...
