I belong to a gym that has all kind of equipment. However, I use the ones I know, the elliptical trainer, treadmill, and recumbent bike. I need to work on my upper body. In November, I tore my left acl and it is unrepaired and I broke my left elbow. The left wrist is weak and I am left-handed. Does anyone have any suggestions for weight training to strengthen my upper body? The only thing I carry now are purses and brief cases. I know many of you know a lot about exercise and fitness. I would really appreciate some guidance.

Hi Lynne Did you have a physical therapist? I would ask your doctor about getting safe exercises for your arms in light of these injuries/surgery. When I tore ligaments in my ankle, one of my therapies was to put weight on that leg - hang onto a wall and balance on it several times a day. That action helped the bones to get more dense. Really you should ask a professional on this.
