I am having foot surgery on Friday. I won't be able to do my normal walking workout. What should I do to get at least 30 mins in? I will be in a cast for a week then a walking boot for 6 weeks. That is a long time to not be working out at least a little.

I have had ongoing foot issues and have recently been in a walking boot and now back in physical therapy (Again!) in an effort to avoid surgery. Honestly, I have tried to hard to get activity in. Hopefully ou will be more motivated than me! I was told that I could swim during the phase I had the walking boot - but you'd want to check with your foot surgeon to make sure any incisions are ok'd to be immersed in water. Good luck and happy healing!
