After 8 weeks of running (reaching week 4 because I've been doing every week twice due to a knee problem) I managed to get an injury - some annoying achilles tendonitis which has me 'benched' for at least 10 days. I've picked up cycling as my alternative cardio training while I wait for my ankle to heal, but I'm also wanting to do some at-home workouts in the 'time slots' when I would usually run to keep up the habit of regular exercise. I figure that'll make it easier to transition back into running once my physiotherapist allows me to.
Does anyone have any recommendations for achilles-friendly at-home workouts you can find on YouTube? My tendonitis gets particularly irritated when I stretch my ankle, so that's specifically what I'm trying to avoid. (It's also of the kind where I've been told to avoid eccentric heel raises and drops, and basically just let my achilles rest as much as possible)
