Exercising with a broken bone?
Question:
Answers:
The above answers are great - but I'm guess that the weight gain has less to do with exercise (which is imporant) and more to do with either not changing your diet (fewer calories, shift to healing foods - the vitamins, minerals, and protein that your ankle needs to heal) or even worse - eating as an activity why you are stuck not doing the things you used to do.
Find some hand occupying hobbies - learn to knit or crochet - or if you don't want to learn something, do a latchhook rug (you've got to know someone with a preschooler that would like a character rug). Or draw or paint or build a model. Things that require hands and concentration.
I'd say reading, but I find that my hands are still reaching for food when I read.
you can do weight sitting on a chair for you upper body, so this way you keep you metabolism going on , I have a disease that attacks my muscle so sometimes I have a lot of pain on my legs, but I still exercise my upper body, and do a lot of stretches for the every part of my body
Swimming is great too if you have access to a pool. No impact there.
