Can I work out with a broken toe?

I broke my toe in a fall the other day. Dumb! Will I be able to work out soon?

I suspect you’ll be back to hobbling about before too long (less than a week) and be able to devise a routine that is suitable and even aggressive.

The pain and instability is high at first and in these long days we become impatient and testy, and finally adapt.

Careful moving about will be good therapy for the injury. All sorts of specific-muscle machines will gain your interest and you’ll put your commonsense to work and discover training from a creative viewpoint.

Train hard, eat right and be strong. God’s might… Dave
