Supragal Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 It sounds like you are pretty fit anyway if you have been training regularly and following a nutritious and carb, protein, fibre balanced diet. Given this I would say that you simply need to adopt certain exercises that will keep your muscles active to keep them assisting your body to burn fat and keep your metabolism high and ultimately avoid muscle wasteage. I was extremely fit before I had a motorcycle accident which resulted in a severe ankle injury. I had to change my exercise plan and adopted this for a while. Legs: As m45sey said, you can do squats on an injured foot. The best and safest way to do this is by placing a swiss (exercise) ball on your lower back/ upper buttocks and placing your feet at hip to shoulder width apart about one-two feet in front of you so that your shins are at 90 degrees to the floor and your quads are parallel to the floor at the end position. Core/Stomach: I would suggest the 'plank'. This is where you are in the push up position wityh your forearms flat on the floor palms down and you contract your abs and glutes(buttocks) and hold for a minute at a time whilst breathing normally. Sit ups Leg raises but holding your pose on the up and the down without letting your feet touch the floor. Arms: Triceps - Dips: Get two sturdy chairs and place them apart enough to place your legs on on and hands on the other. Then dip your body with your arms until your upper arm is nearly parallel to the floor. Biceps: Two large bottles of water un each arm and curl from your hips to your shoulders. Back: bend your knees slightly, and bend your back so that it is leaning towards the floor between 45 degrees and parallel and take the bottles of water and starting from in front of you with your arms slightly bent, bring them up to your sides just below the arm pits. You can also do this as a fly which starts the same way just expand your arms as though they are wings till they are level with your torso. Chest: Push ups. I hope this helps but in all honesty, I would seek medical advice just in case it is something more serious. Wow thanks. I have free weights that I use so no need for the water I will give this a go later. Oh and thanks for all the suggestions guys, apart from the lemsip ones obviously Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Rosie, The simple solution is not to eat anything until your foot is better. That way you won't have to work out what exercise to take and you won't put on any weight either. It's the simple solutions that are the best.

Mike Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 ..or just have one meat and potato pie for your dinner instead of two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDO Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I have a few broken bones in my foot at the moment stopping me from training properly.. i am pretty much doing the work out described by ilicos and its working fine.. only real difference was doing press ups with my knees on the gym ball, as the self balance helps your core as well. ps if anything hurst your foot when you do it STOP. see a doc if you haven't already.. thought i had just bruised my foot at first, and think i done it a lot more damage before i found out what i had done.

Charlotte Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Does someone need a hug... Do you know...? That would be great! I'm awfully hormonal at the moment. ..or just have one meat and potato pie for your dinner instead of two? I'm thinking of that Victoria Wood sketch about going to the shop for a slimming yoghurt..and ending up with a pork pie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way you won't have to work out what exercise to take and you won't put on any weight either. It's the simple solutions that are the best. I am considering it! Problem is, I miss exercise, it properly sorts you out mood wise and everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 OMG pie. I love pie. I actually can't remember the last time I ate a pie. A little bit of what you fancy etc. In fact, while the foot is broke.. knock yourself out... get fat for a bit..? put your feet up.. watch tele till you can't use your legs..? eat 'only' stodge and get yourself some elasticated pants It'll give you more of a challenge when you start beating the pavements when the foot is better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian C Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 But whipping stuff would be good for your arms! I can't believe no-one picked up on this. Frankly, I'm disappointed. -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Frankly I didn't. Was fantasizing about it all last night. Charlotte was whipping first, then Rosie. I was having terrible difficulty as my cream was splattering everywhere. The cake was bloody beautiful by the time they had finished.
