Broken toe- need cardio ideas

Hi, I broke one of my little toes recently (holy cow who knew it would sideline me this much!) and I'm desperate to work out more to lose this awful weight I've put on going back to school. I'm trying simple yoga, but even then you have to put a lot of load bearing weight on your feet. 



Try to find a Bike or Life Cycle that doesn't have foot straps.
This way you will use the balls of your feet to push on the peddles.

Or

If you're a member at a Gym you can also hit a Rowing machine to kick your ass in a completely different way.

Or

Some Gyms have an Arm peddle machine, it's like a Life Cycle but your arms are turning the peddles


bike, life cycle, rowing machine, arm peddle machine is a new one, thank U. I do agree, whole-heartedly, cardio is a great way to go, any vigorous exercise to increase that heart rate. I'm working with, and I am, a post-stroke or I prefer the older term CVA but it was no accident it was an awareness, a do I have your attention, moment. I was aware of ALL of this before but after that you could say I was extremely attentive:) I know cardio is not the only way to go but it sure is One great way.

 I was at the Gym yesterday and flashed back to this question, you can also throw the Precore or Elliptical into a group you can use.


Because, unlike a Bike with straps, these machines have a big flat spot to put your whole foot into. Therefore you're not pushing off with the ball of your feet because you're staying flat footed

 It's the most effective exercise for fat loss anyway and your toe will have minimal impact.
