Can i still work out while wearing a walking boot? #nqlu i have a fractured bone in my foot due to an ankle sprain and must wear a walking boot for 6 weeks for the bone to heal. what type of exercises can i still engage in?

You : You can engage in any upper body activity you like, and can also swim. I would not engage in any activity that involves you standing or putting any pressure on your foot / ankle or leg. That would include cycling.
