Workout with a Foot/Ankle Injury

[@patrickgodar4326]

It is so frustrating to lose cycling, running and swimming during the pandemic due to a foot injury! Your videos have given me a mental boost, as well as helping the core and cardio that I need for wellness!

[@KimSaha]

Patrick Godar brillian Patrick I’m so glad to hear. Sorry about the foot injury though. Speedy recovery x

[@stabi97]

I was shaking at the end but it felt good to work out !

[@clegg334]

glad to have this work out with leg and foot injury

[@ryanlarson6835]

Would love more ankle injury in a boot workouts. Thank you so much!

[@lindabritt7763]

Thank you so much! The most difficult part of my recovery is not being able to move my body. My mental health is revived since I found you💗

[@CarolBeckhamSittema]

Great work out but w foot injury it is difficult to move back and forth between floor and standing exercises. Would be a lot easier if you could group them to eliminate the pain and agony 😅

[@wendywilensky9215]

Thank you so much for this. I’m in a boot and need to get back to working out!

[@treywarman479]

Excellent work out while my fractured ankle is in a boot. Thanks!

[@rachaellouise2666]

Thanks Kim! Please do more videos like this. I am not in a boot but I have an ongoing foot injury and these videos are so helpful.

[@KimSaha]

ahh Rachael, I will try - they are so popular.

[@fionac07]

I'm into week 5 of my rehabilitation after fracturing my fibula, and finding these exercises are helping. Although I still have a way to go before I'm back running! Thanks Kim

[@KimSaha]

I’m so glad to help! May time move fast for you. You’ll look back at it soon and it will just be a memory. Keep pushing forward

[@loupapier3350]

Love how there is no off putting music. Great workout!

[@bkgirl76]

What a treat to be able to do an actual workout including standing up! Recovering from sesamoiditis so can't jump or put a ton of weight on the ball of my foot, and this didn't irritate it at all!

[@JMLP14]

Thank you! 3 weeks to go of no impact for me, I am rotating through your hurt foot workouts.

[@KimSaha]

I’m Impressed. Go you

[@alanaluna1814]

I would LOVE more of these please! I am a nurse recovering from an ankle injury and I love the implementation of weights!

[@gwenlooney6858]

I have a broken bone in my left foot and am wearing a boot. I have been working hard to get in shape Sind August 2020. I was actually walking for a cardio workout when I twisted my foot in a hole and suffered the fracture. I was mad because I felt doomed to lose all my fitness met goals so far. But then I found you! Thanks so much. I feel like I get a good workout in spite of the boot!!!

[@KimSaha]

thanks so much for writing this... it can be such a disappointment when that happens. I hope you keep meeting your fitness goals take care Kim

[@sashahinton2657]

Am loving your hurt foot workouts whilst I recover from a broken foot - would love to have more too! Thanks so much

[@KimSaha]

Hi Sasha! I’ve just filmed a whole course. It’ll be on my thinkific site which hosts it. I think from next week. Kimsaha.thinkific.com Check out the playlist on KZbin too. There’s another 4/5 workouts there. It’s also in these comments

[@KimSaha]

[@annelindemann7280]

I tore my achilles and am in a walking boot at this stage. Your boot workouts are helping me to stay active in the cold Canadian winter! Thank you!!

[@KimSaha]

You should try the full series! It’s just £40 and you get 3 months of instruction throughout your recovery. kimsaha.thinkific.com/courses/stay-fit-with-foot-and-ankle-injury

[@mollyjohnson6918]

Found this today after a month in the boot. LOVE! Feels so good to get moving again!

[@KimSaha]

So so glad!!! If you fancy more I have a shoe course… in the description if you’re interested x

[@deborasmith-hf2mz]

This a has been brilliant and so very helpful in my recover from an ankle fracture. Thank you🙏

[@JudyRodmanvoice]

I feel so very much better getting to do thie HIIT workout WITH my boot on! Thank you so much for these exercises - really adds to quality of life for those of us with foot injuries!

[@swatimavi6887]

Absolutely helpful… have a very bad injury in the foot

[@KimSaha]

eek, glad you found this

[@kristinleclair8410]

Hello Kim! Thank you SOOO much!! It has been very difficult to exercise during COVID-19 with new ankle injury. I appreciate this video greatly!!! :) You are wonderful!!

[@KimSaha]

You’re so welcome. Sorry to hear you’re injured. Hope it gets better soon x

[@karalmac]

You’ve gotten me thru an ankle sprain with these boot workouts! Thank you

[@ThiagoMoesch]

I just came out of ankle surgery and your booty videos are really helping keep me sane and fit. Thank you for these!

[@katiewhiskin894]

So pleased to have found you. Wish I had earlier as am so unfit after 5 weeks with ankle fracture and am now so unfit!

[@busietembe5786]

Just got my approval ftom my dr and full weight bearing on my boot, this was the first workout i got to do, thank you, i truly enjoyed it☺

[@imeldaparkes2455]

Brilliant thank you. Broken foot so desperate to exercise. Thank you x

[@KimSaha]

You're so welcome!

[@paigehandley3107]

Really appreciate these. Recovering from a sesamoidectomy to treat my sesamoiditis and slowly have worked back up to high impact exercise but it really is touch and go and need no impact foot workouts to rotate in depending on my pain level.

[@KimSaha]

Glad this has been helpful. I hear it’s very painful. Keep it up!

[@julielane9434]

Thank you for these boot workouts! You have been my saving grace to return to my pre-injury body (I broke my foot in two places). I wish I would have discovered them sooner. Thank you!

[@KimSaha]

Julie Lane gosh you poor thing sounds painful. I glad you found the workouts too. Enjoy getting back to fitness!

[@sherylpomerance3264]

only 3 weeks after foot surgery-this is a great re-entry program! thanks!

[@KimSaha]

amazing thats great news

[@clairegebauer4094]

Oh my gosh, this is JUST what I needed! I have had 3 hip surgeries in the past 5 years, and recently got a fracture in my foot. This was perfect for all of my ailments! Thank you!

[@KimSaha]

Claire you’re so welcome! I’m so glad to help. I hope you manage to get healed quick from the recent foot injury. Thanks for commenting

[@delirifacient]

Thanks for this workout! There were many pros for me and a few things I'd love to see updated if you do another foot injury workout. I love that this is a true, full HIIT workout that offers some weight bearing! So hard to find at this point in my recovery, when I'm medically cleared to bear weight but not to jump or run yet. I have a lot of experience with fitness training and was very fit before my injury, yet several of the exercises were new ways to move for me. I love the calm background and your delivery--you're supportive without overdoing it--you strike the perfect balance. Some things I'd change: please consider grouping all the standing exercises together in one sequence and then all the floor exercises together in one sequence. It was *very* challenging to get up and down and up and down in the boot. On the same note, please consider offering us more time to transition from one exercise to another. By the time I'd safely get into the next exercise about a third of it would be over. Also, I'd love to see the exercises slowed down and done more smoothly, with a focus on slow and strong vs. momentum-based and fast. The one where we plank and pass the weight under our body and up again made me feel like I was constantly fighting to stay in alignment and not fall--it felt very jerky to me. I'd also love to see a quick demonstration and explanation in a rest period between each set. Sometimes I felt like I was getting the instructions halfway through the exercise, like with the ab exercise near the end where you're only pulsing one leg at a time. From a viewer's perspective it's hard to tell you're doing a single-leg pulse and not the more traditional bicycle (but I did like learning this new exercise once I figured out what's going on). I hope those are helpful ideas, and above all thank you for providing this resource for us! Happy healing to all!

[@keithjohnson4833]

This workout has been very helpful as I'm recovering from a foot injury. Thanks so much

fabulous im so glad

[@carab2375]

Thanks so much for these workouts! Just started working out and now I’m injured.

[@KimSaha]

great i'm so glad to facilitate that!!

[@michellesonahee9675]

Thank you SO MUCH Kim Saha!!!! I am on week 4 of my recovery from torn ligaments on my left ankle. This video & your floor workout has eased me back in to exercise. As I was exercising 6 days a week before my injury since lockdown. Injured myself on 18th May, so you do not realise how much your workouts have helped me from week 3.

[@KimSaha]

michelle sonahee ahhhh you’re so welcome it’s so good to hear how much difference this has made to someone. Sorry to hear about your injury though. Good luck with the recovery ❤️

[@michellesonahee9675]

Kim Saha thank you so much for replying back it’s so unexpected. So happy that I found your workouts after spending at least 30 minutes looking for the ideal one. So please do more. I’d be lost with them

[@KimSaha]

michelle sonahee you’re so welcome, I love my channel, it’s my saving grace in these crazy times. It makes me feel I can do something and connect with people like you who’ve benefitted. I’ll keep making the videos for sure. Aiming to make more soon for those who are injured so watch this space x

[@virginiastephenson3086]

Hello ladies! I have a torn ligament on my left foot as well 😐 Just wondering how long yours is taking to heal? I am on 2 and a half months and it still isn't comfortable to walk without my boot 😒

[@michellesonahee9675]

@@virginiastephenson3086 it’s my 6 month of recovery & I can’t fully run on it & wear heels. I stopped wearing my boot in my 4th month. I just recommend resting it & doing Kim Saha videos everyday to help with the blood flow to increase repair of the ligament

[@umachitra4589]

Loved this workout Kim. I'm sure it will help me in recovery from a stress fracture in my right foot. Thanks!

I’ve loved these they’ve been helping me maintain strength and fitness throughout my foot injury. I’ve also loved your other workouts I can do including the pilates ring. Please keep them coming!

[@KimSaha]

Sarah Katz I’m So glad, it so tough to be injured. I was injured at the time of filming and wanted to show others what they could be doing. There’s loads with the ring but not high intensity. I could try to film one ofcourse! You could be inventive and add it in. Otherwise just head to my Pilates ring workouts. Good luck

[@sarahkatz6576]

Kim Saha thanks for this! It’s tough but trying to take advantage of this down time from running and to do more core work and crosstrain as much as I can! Your videos were some of the first I did after my fracture and inspired me to keep at it! Thanks again for this!

[@KimSaha]

Sarah Katz it’s the best way of thinking about this time for sure

[@BethSmyls]

I injured my ankle 5 weeks ago, found your wonderful "HIIT in a boot" a 3 weeks ago, and I'm finally weight-bearing and I did this today. Thank you, Kim. So grateful. I never did HIIT before my injury. I'm a yoga and speed-walking girl. But I thoroughly enjoy these little workouts and I think I will definitely keep it up when I'm healed. Thank you for supporting me, my health, and my ankle during my healing process. :)

Hi Kim. Currently trying to deal with a broken bone in my foot and these workouts are a godsend. Thanks so much for doing them. Keeping me working for the next 6 weeks until I can get running again 👏

[@meghanofbirds]

Thank you so much for this workout! I struggle with foot tendinitis that takes over 8 weeks to heal during a flare which means I haven't been able to have a proper workout. I did this with my moon boot and finally had a satisfying workout! Feeling really happy right now! Really excited to see the other videos!!

A lot tougher than it looked. The change overs are a bit fast for someone with an actual injury! Suspect Kim had the boot on a healthy ankle.

Yes I think you’re right it is tougher than it looked. I actually had injured my foot but it was not surgery or a broken bone. I snapped my plantar fascia.

If you want to check it out send me your email to [e-mail] and I can give you access for a day

[@louisewinmill388]

Thanks so much for this series. A quick question though, you say this is hiit but doesn't that require your heart rate to go up to peak or cardio levels for short intervals? With this kind of exercise I can barely get into fat burning zone? I'm trying to do a diet and fitness plan which requires hiit and trying to work out if this will count while I'm injured! Thanks

[@KimSaha]

Hi Louise, That’s a great point and you’re right you are not able to raise your heart rates to that kind of fat burning level. This would require you to probably jump around a bit more which is of course not possible when you have a foot injury. This is perhaps not a time to be thinking about loosing weight but more about addressing weaknesses, doing what are able to do safely and maintaining a reasonable level of fitness. Why not look at my course kimsaha.thinkific.com/courses/stay-fit-with-foot-and-ankle-injury This has a weekly plan of hiit, pilates, strength and rehab with a lot of advice along the way.
