Exercise Pin
Whats the best exercise for a female to do when she has three pins and a wire in her ankle?
I broke (shattered) my ankle when I was 16. I am older now and need to stay toned. Doing arobics is out of the question due to not being able to put very much pressure on it. I have tried walking but I only seem to be able to get a mile or so in before the pain hits.
I had the same problem (torn ligament). If you can, swimming is a great option – anything in water in fact. Aqua-robics and the like. Water allows less impact on the joints. At the same time, the effort exerted (against the water) is a great way for both strength and aerobic activity. Anything in the water is very good on the body.
If water is not your thing, try hoping on a bike. Whether it is a stationary bike (can be boring) or on a bike path or trail. Again, the impact on your ankles is enough to build strength, but not strain.
Have you tried roller blading? Perhaps you can work up to this, but the boots certainly give you loads of support around the feet, and it is incredibly great excercise. Do wear protection tho!!
Good luck!
