[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 435875, member: 11791"] Or you could just "modify your usual routine"... now, that doesn't work so well if you're used to RUNNING, for example - but if you're into the "gym" stuff, you can still get a really good workout using only your upper body. Wheel-chair athletes do this! Borrow a wheelchair and go for a wheely good "run"!! (bad pun!) Do arms-only wall climbing. Pick up a wheel-chair version of a sport - you can keep playing when you get better - they need some ablebodied people on the team (but still using a wheel chair) to balance out the "points". Depending on whether your leg will take it... you could go canoeing or kayaking... Or I could lend you my two hefty 4-wheel-drive dogs, and you can get a good workout just trying to hang onto the leash! For the record - others who don't swim but enjoy the pool - you don't need to SWIM to get a good workout - even just walking through the water (chest high) at a decent pace, provides excellent resistance training and a good cardio demand... and there's always water aerobics...
