Exercise problem

[fredanna 17]

I was recently rebanded and should be walking daily; however, because of a diabetic ulcer on the ball of my foot, I am supposed to stay off my feet as much as possible until it heals. Therefore, I cannot go into the pool across the street, either. Walking is tricky for me anyway because of balance problems and a few missing toes. I just ordered some resistance bands and a Leslie Sansone DVD from Amazon. I'll sit in a chair and move my feet, kick, or whatever Leslie says to do. It won't be like real walking, but at least I won't be completely sedentary.

Any other suggestions?

Can you join a gym and do upper body workouts? Planet Fitness is only 10 bucks a month, and they often run specials that offer cheaper yearly rates.

I pulled a tendon in my heel, and I've been off the treadmill for the past month. My weight loss is at a standstill. If you can do upper body exercises they may help.

I agree! Do what you can. Anything you do to keep active and moving will help!
