Okay, my second metatarsal is fractured. That's the part of the toe that's in the actual foot. That means that I can't put any weight on the foot, and can't flex it at all, although I can move my toes and ankle a bit.
It's gonna be probably four weeks till I can drive again, so I can't really go to the gym. Can anyone suggest body weight exercises I can do with this limitation? So far I've managed to do some pushups, by resting my broken foot on top of my other ankle, and some bridging the same way (although that's tougher, due to balance issues). Any suggestions for more? I can't do pullups, unfortunately; there's nowhere in my house to do so.
