A member asked:
Which cardio exercises tha are easy on the ankles are considered effective?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cardio exercises: Biking or recumbent biking works the ankle joint without the pressure or stress like other exercises. Also, if you are trying to work legs/thighs, any exercises on your back or sides will be easy on your ankle. Standard planking may hurt, so try a modified plank (knees on stood, while weight on elbows on forearms) to work your core while off-loading your ankle. Hope this helps!
