Alternative exercise with hurt foot?

[BabyTee]

I am 3 months post-transplant and hurt my foot, so walking is painful.

I am banned from exercises other than walking and climbing stairs until I hit 6 months.

The walking moves the ab muscles slightly to increase blood flow so that my incision heals properly.

Any suggestions for other exercises?

Hello,Maybe try PT exercises to strengthen the core?

Thanks. I did start to do those. That isn't much, though. It probably helps.

The above UK NHS link mentions swimming & cycling (no hills).

Both could potentially take pressure off your foot.

I was told specifically no bicycle until 6 months. I am not sure about swimming. I'd have to check. They are worried about a hernia, of course. I might have different rules, because I am a kidney pancreas transplant, so my incision is different.

Thanks for the link.

A recumbent elliptical? You’d be seated while using it.

I think that might be the best solution. Thanks.
