Advice: How Do You Workout After an Injury?
This comes from our Advice column!From darci@healthkicker:
"I broke my left big toe about a month ago. I didn't have access to a gym this summer, so my workout plans were to run and do some workout DVDs at home. While my toe is a lot better now, it still gets kind of sore if I walk too much during the day, etc.
I really want to start working out again, but I know running would be painful, and I'm worried about the amount of jumping involved in workout DVDs.
Does anyone have any recommendations for things I could do that would be easy on my feet? And how long does a damn broken toe take to fully heal?"

Swimming!
spinning/biking. I'm right there with you in the injured boat, I know exactly how you feel.
With neurotic determination and stubbornness, and a high tolerance for pain.

what about workouts if you have achilles tendonitis and don't know how to swim?
Try yoga! If you can deal with the heat, definitely give hot yoga or hatha yoga a try. They're performed in a heated room (anywhere between 80-105F depending on the type), which can help reduce pain from injuries.
I guess if it was just your toe you could still do muscle training, just not cardio. I have a butt workout video where you're litterally laying down for the whole thing, but you still get a good butt workout.
