I looked on the forum, and he didn't post anything except bike riding. I would think that rowing might be ok too, if you are careful with the foot. Weightlifting too, yoga perhaps..

Bummer Sarita... sorry to hear about your foot.
I did 7hrs of power washing the porch today (Penny did 3hrs on it 2 days ago). It didn't look that hard when I saw them do it on TV. LOL Fortunately the front porch is done!
Aleve will be my friend tonight!

How did your foot feel cycling?

Foot felt okay. I was on a stationary bike so that I could control all the variables as much as possible. Additionally, I can't wear my cycling shoes and I can't bend my foot to get into them, so I am stuck using the stationary until I am cleared to do more bending of my toe.
Also got in a swim this evening. I have to do it with a swim buoy/float between my legs and can't kick, so it was a bit more difficult than I am used to as I had to simply pull myself through the water. Managed 3/4 miles and could have done some more but was worried about overdoing it on my arms/shoulders - so I stopped. All in all - a great day!
Good to hear, glad you are trying different options.

Its quiet in here!
Tuesday 5/25/10 AM: Cycling class. Because of the foot I can't do any out of the saddle stuff, so I took it easier, simply cycling in saddle, but still doing resistance work. My instructor was reluctant to let me take class, but allowed me to after I assured him I would stop if I felt any pain. He checked in frequently and we were good to go! Tonight - swimming laps with the leg buoy.

Nice. Not much exercise, cardio at least for me for a while. Mom and Dad are flying in tonight. busy Busy, busy till they leave in a week. Will try to get a dive in on Friday morning, and we are planning a kayak paddle on Thursday night, but nothing heart pounding.
Walking barefoot or with my VFFs as much as I can trying to get the foot toughened.
Got the pool up this past weekend. So there will be some exercises there too, if only splashing around and enjoying it.
