Answer 1

There are lots of things you can do to lose weight, even with a broken ankle! You'll have to eat properly and frequently (on a schedule) in order to speed up your metabolism: this way you'll be able to burn more calories & fat faster.

Some exercises: one-legged squats (using a chair for support), situps, crunches, kickbacks (or donkey kicks...), pushups (on your knees).... Weights are also a great idea! (Just be careful.)

You also have the opportunity to stretch very frequently. You can stretch while watching TV, lying in bed, while you're eating... the possibilities are virtually endless! Stretching is important since it also strenghtens your muscles prevents injuries (to a certain extent) and gives them a longer, leaner look. You should stretch before and after any workout in order to prevent injury.

Speak to your doctor or a trainer/physical therapist before you start any exercise program. They are more experienced in creating workouts for different types of people and would be able to create something just for you.

Lots of luck!!!!

First, you should always talk to your physician before you start a new exercise regime, but that being said:

Build upper body muscle. If you do resistance training (with weights), you will build muscle, and building muscle causes quicker weight loss than most other exercise regimines. Here's why. When you do cardio, you only burn calories while you're working out, but when you do resistence training, you burn calories while you work out, and all throughout the day.

It is ideal to workoutyour whole body, but if your ankle is hurt, stay off of it. Get a pair of weights, and get those biceps, triceps, traps, and pecs working!

There are several things you can do to lose weight that are not related to exercise that will be very helpful to you.

Exercise burns fat, but it also makes you hungry and so you tend to eat the amount of food to maintain your weight and this is a slow process that requires a large amount of will power and most people do not do well with this.

I believe exercise is very important and we all should be diligent about creating habits that promote good exercise, but let's be real, most people just have huge problems with that. Look how much money gyms make on selling memberships to people who believe having the membership will make them lose weight just because they are a member of a gym.

To get over the broken ankle quickly, I would suggest you take 15 to 20 nucleotides per day. This will speed the recovery by over 2/3 and you will be amazed at how fast your bone heals. I would also get a bone & joint formula, avoid at all costs CALCIUM CARBONATE, but incourage a good dietary calcium supplement.
Calcium Carbonate makes great chalk, but causes huge problems in your body!

To get to the weight loss issue, you need to make sure you are digesting your food properly. This will greatly reduce toxins and cause you to eliminate waste that is causing you to process fat in your body in a negative way. If you follow the regime below, you will see the poochy stomach melt away and without situps!

1. 2 to 3 Betaine HCL + 1 Potassium Activator after each meal and also between meals.

2. A high quality probiotic in the morning and before bed.

3. A high quality digestive enzyme after each meal.

A good quality source for the 3 above can be found at: www.healthline.cc

4. Eliminate SOY from your diet completely. SOY slows your thyroid down making it much harder to lose weight, reduces your uptake of ALL minerals, especially minerals like Iron (50% in most people), is very hard on your prostate glands & gives women much more severe PMS. Also eliminate Canola Oils and all products stating they use Vegetable oils because most of these are Canola or Soy based products.

5. Greatly increase your intake of Omega 3 fatty acids from WILD fish (not farm raised), Grass Fed Cattle (not commercial beef you get in most super markets), Flax Seed (if you have a good functioning liver).

These suggestions above are inexpensive and one huge benefit you will get from the above is that you will not get Acid Refux or so called Acid Indigestion. NEVER, EVER, take antacids! All they do is allow the rotting food to poison your body by neutralizing the very thing that will get rid of the lactic acid created from the rotting food!

Good luck with this. It really does work. I'm living proof.

Answer 5

Eat 5 6 small meals a day instead of 3

Answer 6

Do upper body workouts. If you belong to a gym they have a torso machine get your cardio workout. Stay off the ankle until your doctor gives you the ok.

Answer 7

I've lost 5 kilos in my first week. It's my 10th day and I have included salad with some protein (eg. egg/ lean chicken) as you suggested. After 4 years of trying, the fat is finally coming off. It truly feels like magic!

Get started today!

Answer 8

Richard Simmons toning uptown.
Lifting leg weights and Simmons weight lifting tape.
You can do toning uptown sitting in a chair.
I know I did after surgery and it helped.
You can use leg weights on the other leg and lift the leg while doing the exercise as well.
Hope that helps.
