Low Impact Cardiovascular Exercises for Weak and injured ankles

Do you have weak ankles or have suffered from an ankle injury? Don’t let that stop you from getting your workout on! We at Waterloo Foot Clinic have a few suggestions for the best cardiovascular exercises to meet your needs:

Swimming:

Swimming is an excellent way to increase your heart rate and get a full body workout! Due to the buoyancy and resistance of the water, you can do exercises such as aqua-fit or length swimming with little to no impact on your ankles.

Bike riding:

Biking can be a killer workout, especially for your glutes, quads, and calves. Biking can be done indoors at the gym or at home using a stationary bike, or you can do it in the great outdoors! No matter how you choose to ride your bike, your feet never leave the pedals and you don’t have to worry about putting pressure on your joints.

Elliptical:

A workout on the elliptical is an awesome way to burn fat and calories without impact. Much like riding a bike, your feet never have to leave the elliptical machine’s pedals.
