Broken Foot

Post by gymfun11 »

I broke foot @ a month ago and so haven't been working out. What exercises can I do while not putting weight on foot?

Try Recumbent exercise bike.

Good lumbar support and most of the upper body weight is taken away from he Legs, because you're not standing and loadbearing on the lower body.

This should help.

Other than that, you could do some upper body stuff, but I wouldn't advise doing anything that requires holding weights, even to carry them and sit down, so stick to things like Pec Deck, Smith Machine Bench Presses, Tricep Machine, Bicep Machine, (I know I know, not something I'd ever suggest to anyone normally), Cable Rows, Shoulder presses etc.

I broke a bone in foot this summer too. Depending on where the bone is broken you can ride a bike and since it has been a month, you could swim (I tried swimming just two weeks after the break, not a good desision but I could bike) You can do ab work and upperbody.
