    So long story short I snapped a tendon in my right leg and can't use it without causing extreme pain. I was told to move it as little as possible and give it test for six weeks.

    I'm a fairly active person and sitting on my ass for the next six weeks is going to be torture.

    I especially like to go on walks and I do Taekwondo but that's a no go for now :/

    I have a five and an eight pound weight and I've been amusing myself with those but do any of you have any other solutions for exersizes or stretches or any other tips?

    A decent knee brace (cause I am assuming it is a knee injury) and a pool. Swim laps, good cardio and upper body work out and the water pressure around the entire leg might make it feel a little better.

    Unfortunately I don't currently have access to a pool right now but when I get the opportunity I will do this- thank you :grin:
