What exercise can i do as i have fractured and torn a ligament in my right ankle 4 days ago.?

Question by Amee A: What exercise can i do as i have fractured and torn a ligament in my right ankle 4 days ago.?
Its really swollen and bruised but i can kind of walk on it without my crutches as long as im only on my toes for my right foot so running and skipping etc is obviously out of the question.

Is there any exercise i can do that is strenuous enough to lose weight with?

theoretically any sport which doesn’t put pressure on your ankle!!
you could always do swimming, sit ups, pilates etc.

i tore ligaments in my ankle about 5 years ago when i was 14. I didn’t go on crutches (was riding horses competitively at the time and it was the middle of eventing season) and now have scar tissue in BOTH ankles which causes me a fair bit of pain.

Whatever you do, listen to your doctor and STAY ON THOSE CRUTCHES!
