ok so i broke my leg and am on crutches, any advice 4 keeping fit, trying not 2 put weight on while not active

Answer 1

i have been in a cast for 6 months now and have a lot more to go. when i was on crutches i tried walking around as much as i could - which was max of 6-8bloks a day - but it made me sweat more than i did at the gym working out. also crutches will build your arm muscles. you can do some crunches and leg lifts.
your body uses more calories than before because it spends a lot on repairing/healing itself so just try eating healthy and fresh foods (fruit, veggies, lean meats, complex carbs)

Answer 2

while i was on crutches after a broken leg last year i lost 19lb, as i couldn't eat properly with feeling so sick with the massive amount of strong painkillers i was on. you can exercise your upper body sitting down, lifting weights or baked bean tins!, your other leg will be taking a lot of strain and ache so you need to loosen the muscles as much as you can. i ended up with strong pectoral muscles and a very firm bust with the strain of using crutches, try eating healthily, plenty of fruit and veg

Answer 3
