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.
