Injured my foot...now what?!

I had a great momentum going, and then I injured my foot. I had to be taken to the emergency room. Lucky I only strained the muscle/tendon, but does this mean I'm out of the game for my workout resolution?

I say, "No!" I have decided to get a little creative and figure out what I can do. Yesterday I began with 15 minutes of band/ab work and weights. Today, I did 35 minutes of a workout!

Here's what I did:

I first started with Hip Hop last minute Abs . I did everything while sitting on the floor, legs stretched out in front and a few side leg positions. My foot did not touch the ground once! I may have missed out on the more super crunch motion of standing up, but I got the job done - total ab workout for 5 minutes!

Next, I opted to do a band workout video for my arms and shoulders. I have a 10 minute solutions Tone Trouble Zones. I had to get a little creative with some of the moves being on the floor, but I managed.

I attempted to do the 10-minute buns and thighs, but had to change plans. I opted for Winsor Pilates Buns and Thighs 20 minute dvd.

My foot started tingling a little bit after this one, but I made it through.

So, even though you may have an injury, consider what you can do, not what you can't do. Since switching to this mentality, I was able to take myself out of the pity parade on the side lines and put myself back into the game!

Fitnfun :O)
