Things will work out *good vibes* <br /><br />Have a try with weightlifting. The greater muscle mass formed will burn more calories over a 24h period than cardio can. You won't get big or bulky, and you don't need to do tons of light reps to avoid getting big--your female hormones will prevent you from getting big. Lift 'like a man' but do 1-2 wks of light weights to give you a chance to learn good technique and to strengthen your ligaments. I suggest Videofitness for DVD reviews, or Cathe.com (NAYY) who shows impeccable technique.BrusselsSprout_Katharinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04519588924579208409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-55397682314118203462010-09-11T22:53:43.018-04:002010-09-11T22:53:43.018-04:00Sorry to hear about you leg!

When I broke one finger and relocated another one (this year, at home), I hurried inside, snatched my mobile and sat down on the couch, because I felt I was going to faint. And I believe I did, because I remember waking up and hearing a sound in my ears like there was a big, working machine outside the house. Luckily I was clear enough by then to call someone. <br /><br />Take care of yourself!<br /><br />p.s.

One thing I did was the Pilates "hundreds" every day (multiple sets) with variations that made it harder (angle of my legs, on a foam roller for instability). Even though it's not the duration of cardio work that you're used to, it's at least something to get your heart rate up -- and it's a great core workout. You could use an ankle weight on your healthy leg to balance out your boot. I hope that you will heal quickly so you can fully enjoy your trip to Turkey. I was in Istanbul for a conference in February and absolutely loved it. I definitely plan to go back for a holiday. I'll look forward to hearing about your travels.<br />Karen in Parislaparesseusehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13750921981492271560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-39340958350626082802010-09-11T03:35:16.121-04:002010-09-11T03:35:16.121-04:00Try giant arm circles.

And he was in a cast for 6 weeks :-(. But the good news is that he did recover fully, and is now doing the same bike routine, just paying more attention to extreme effort. Really, your arteries will be fine if you don't work quite so hard :-). Be a good girl and work hard at the physical therapy afterwards, OK? Meanwhile, take it easy, and yes, this is the time to stock up on underwear, winter coats, pull-on dresses..

As for sitting down cardio, anything with weight about the heart centre will increase your heart rate. Shoulder and triceps exercises are a great start. Hold a 5kg above your head, keeping the elbows close to the ears then lower down behind you and raise again slowly. Shoulder presses work, too. I'd try 3kg weights for that. I'll ask my trainer for some tips; she has two clients in wheelchairs, so she knows what to do. Good luck in the meantime and do try and relax!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11274649006496918800noreply@blogger.com
