[quote=Anonymous]I broke my foot recently, and have to wear a walking boot for 6-8 weeks. I am generally a very active person, both in terms of exercise and also just walking everywhere (shopping, library, restaurants, etc.). I'm supposed to rest my foot as much as possible, and walking in the boot is clunky and slow. I'm feeling kind of depressed at the loss of mobility, temporary though it is. I plan on working on my core and upper body strength during this time, but it's jarring to suddenly become so much more sedentary and homebound than usual. I'm curious to hear how other people have dealt with enforced inactivity--whether a boot, crutches, wheelchair, etc. Any workout recommendations? How did you keep your mood bright during this time? I'm appreciative of any replies or advice I receive. [/quote]
