My foot is injured. It's not PF, but I think it could be a stress fracture (I'm getting it checked out in a couple of days). I've been cross training in the pool, on the bike, and on the elliptical machine, but I'm starting to think that only the pool is safe for my foot.
Anyone have any experience with cross training for a foot stress fracture? Any suggestions (other than pool running) that won't aggravate the injury? Thanks.
i was able cross train on the bike when i had a SF in my foot. i would say (depending on what facilities you have access to) to split your time between the gym and pool to avoid boredom. however, it's ultimately contingent upon what hurts and what doesn't for you.
Where is the injury - heel, metatarsals? If it's in the heel, I would think the elliptical wouldn't do much damage. Gotta agree with the first reply though, split your time and do what works for YOU. Let pain be your guide.....
