Can someone help me with a training programme I can do daily which h no leg work at all in it?

[RhondaJean]

I've snapped part of my calf muscle.

I can't not train. I need to adapt my training. I usually do weights, Thai boxing, kettlebells, cycling and I am trying to learn to run. Most of that is out.

I'm thinking things like bench presses and seated shoulder presses, does anyone know of a programme I could follow while my leg heals, or could anyone help me create one?

If you google 'chairobics' there are quite a few site and youtube videos that have upper body only exercise routines. I think they may be geared around someone with a lower general fitness level than you but maybe you could adapt some of them to suit you?

Thank you control. I'm thinking I might also google for wheelchair weights training or similar.

That's tomorrow mission then, I think I might give myself to Monday before I hit the gym (on my crutches)

ouch poor you, hope you recover soon - any idea how long it will take?

does your gym have an arm bike?

there's also a sort of yoga that is very upper body, I will look it up but is not exactly strenuous

is it just weight bearing legwork, could you swim?

I think it's power yoga that has all the twisty upper body shenanigans - there is probably a wheelchair version online somewhere

No arm bike.

I don't really swim at the best of times I'm not sure if I could ŵith this to be honest, I know I'm supposed to rest totally for a couple of days at least. The Physio could tell me about swimming once I see them.

Yoga, friend is a yoga teacher, I will ask her for exercises. I'm also thinking I could do seated boxing to get a bit of upper body cardio.

Very fed up.

poor you :( hope you are managing to keep yourself occupied, there's probably no great rush is there? my friend is a cautionary tale, he tried running through an injury and ended up completely immobile and in agony from pulled hamstring to bursitis and now a back problem, ferrying him to physio and dr for scary injections a few times a week has been v sobering

when do you see physio? Hope they explain clearly what you can/can't do - rest means different things to different people!
