Recovery Exercise Ideas

If you've ever injured any part of your leg; ankle, knee or foot you'll know it's a difficult recovery. 
After an initial phase of rest/ice/elevate and any treatments medically required you eventually have to get back to exercise to help build strength and aid recovery. I injured my left foot/ankle in December/January so I've been slowly getting back to active the last week or two. Here are some ideas for exercise that isn't as weight bearing as walking:

  • Cycling
  • Swimming
  • Aqua aerobics
  • Yoga - seated, kneeling, prone and supine poses especially
  • Chair yoga I have a video on my YouTube channel

The autumn weather is a little cool here for water based exercise so I'm focused on cycling and yoga ATM. Today we rode to the beach.  

It was a terrific ride to the coast then along the foreshore. 
Such a great workout!
