    Hi Bryan,
    I broke my foot (2nd metatarsal) two weeks ago. I am non-weight bearing and am in a cast for 4 weeks. I was wondering what, if any, leg exercises I can do during my recovery to minimize muscle atrophy. I am typically in the gym five days a week and besides being sick about my hard work being wasted, I’m getting antsy only doing upper body. I never thought Id miss burpees! Thanks for your help.

      Hey Stacey,

      Don’t freak! First off, your muscles won’t atrophy in 4 weeks. If anything, you *might* temporarily lose a little bit of strength, but it’ll come right back.

      Second, don’t mess with your injury. Let it heal fully so that you can get back to your workouts at 100% — the last thing you want is a more severe set-back. I wouldn’t do or recommend any leg work until it’s better, other than light cycling (it shouldn’t be weight-bearing).

      For now, (A) focus on eating clean and (B) emphasize your upper body, back, arms. and abs. That should keep you more than occupied for the next month :)

      Plus, you’ll likely see gains you wouldn’t have otherwise. Have fun with the new type of workouts.

        Thank you so much for the direction. Freaked out is exactly how I was feeling but this really helps. I’m enjoying all of the ideas I’ve found on the site and REALLY can’t wait to dig into the other workouts once I’m recovered. Thanks again, you’ve been an enormous help and encouragement!

          You got it, I’ve suffered through that feeling in the past and know how stressful it can be. Sometimes a little injury or time off—and then realizing that your body won’t spontaneously combust—is a really positive thing for the psyche and your personal sanity.

          Feel better and come back stronger!
