Question:
I injured my foot and had an x-ray. I was told I fractured my toe. What exercises can I do? I would like to still do cardio workouts. Thanks!
Answer:
It depends on the severity of the toe fracture. For a minor, stable toe fracture, splint the toe and wear a stiff, supportive shoe during workouts. Low-impact exercises using an elliptical machine or a recumbent bike are good options. Swimming is also very low-impact and great for cardio. Check with your doctor before beginning any exercises.
