I fractured a toe a couple of weeks ago and was told to hold off on running for 4-6 weeks. I've been lifting weights instead, but running is one of my main forms of self-care and stress relief. Does anyone do any other form of exercise that you've found helpful?

Can you do spinning?
-
What about swimming?
-
I haven't checked out spinning and there are some nearby pools! My schedule tends to be the main issue, but I will check out both ideas. Thank you!

I was going to suggest swimming and spinning, too! Or just long walks....boring, I know
I prefer weight training over running tho
-
Do you have a bike? We got a trainer so we could watch tv,spin and ride inside for winter or injury. Not as time consuming as the gym
-
Cardio boxing is a good workout and stress reliever.

I would choose swimming because it is low impact on joints and injures. Hope you find something you can enjoy for now.

Water running was great for me when I hurt my foot a few years back. Same motion as running with less impact.

When I used to be a runner, I would always swim when I had injuries. It kept me in great shape and I never felt like I had to do anything extra to get back to my pre-injury level.
