I got a stress fracture in my foot earlier this year and, while it's loads better, I still can't do a bunch of exercises, particularly high impact stuff involving jumping etc. I also can't do anything involving having a lot of pressure through the mid-foot - so planks, bear crawls, lunges, etc. are out. I'm finding it hard to find lower body workouts that aren't lunge heavy. Any workout suggestions (45min+ is ideal) or any suggestions of exercises I can sub for lunges? I usually sub with squats or something but lower body workouts normally already have squats and it gets pretty repetitive when I'm doing squat rounds and then squats for both of the lunge rounds (since lunge sets are usually a round per side).
Lower body workouts minus lunges? (foot injury)
Hey guys,
I got a stress fracture in my foot earlier this year and, while it's loads better, I still can't do a bunch of exercises, particularly high impact stuff involving jumping etc. I also can't do anything involving having a lot of pressure through the mid-foot - so planks, bear crawls, lunges, etc. are out. I'm finding it hard to find lower body workouts that aren't lunge heavy. Any workout suggestions (45min+ is ideal) or any suggestions of exercises I can sub for lunges? I usually sub with squats or something but lower body workouts normally already have squats and it gets pretty repetitive when I'm doing squat rounds and then squats for both of the lunge rounds (since lunge sets are usually a round per side).
