When I broke my leg, my family had a hard time trying to lift me up and I had to drag myself to the couch so I wouldn't have to stay on the floor. No wonder! The scale at the hospital said I was 163 lbs!
Of course I'm much better now, but I've gotta dump some of that poundage, just in case they need to lift me again someday.
Problem is, my ankle still hurts. Oh sure, the fracture's healed, and I can put weight on it for a while, but after that while it hurts big time. No doubt if I weighed a bit less there'd be less pressure on my ankle, but my physical therapy exercises aren't going to do much for that.
So I'm thinking about getting a peddle exerciser, maybe something like This. I figure that if my ankle isn't doing well, I can at least put it on a table and use my arms. Unfortunately, I haven't found many reviews for pedal exercisers online. Can anyone recommend a brand to me? Thanks!
