How can I still do workouts with a walking cast?

Dec 19, 2009 by Erick | Posted in Injuries

I have a walking cast, and I am in the beginning stages of walking. I broke a bone on the left side of my foot. I understand I can't really do much involving my legs, but certain things I usually do require putting a lot of weight on my foot. Any ideas will be helpful.

U could do upper body exercises & weights at the gym with your foot resting up. Also when u eventually get your cast off u can swim which is non-weight-bearing. My physio also told me to use support socks to help prevent reinjury & strain to the newly healed area. U should ask a sports doctor for advice too.
