I broke my ankle too, two years ago, I tried to do some hard squats and now my ankle pain is back. And it hurts so much. 😭 But I don't want to give up on fitness. But now I'm always afraid of forcing my ankle.
Like I have been wanting to exercise and I did for like two days then I got caught cause if you try to lose weight in my family its like ok the whole family doing this and find crappy recipes on Pinterest or weight washers that suck and they just make a whole deal out of it and I broke both of my ankles 3 years ago and got a surgery in April and I’m weight baring but I have to get my hard ware out of my foot so I don’t want to injure it so I will be using this ( sorry I type a lot it’s like 12 am and I am bored but I’ll be using this )
After reading all of the comments, I realize that others feel the same way I do with an injured foot/ankle! The mental component of it is the hardest part!! This is really helpful - thank you so much! Looking forward to seeing your other stuff! ❤
I broke my foot. I started to do this in week 2 but it was still too much.. 4 weeks later I’m easing in but some are still too tough. Slowly but surely!
Kim, you saved my mental and physical well-being. I was getting in 13-18k walking steps a day, 6 days a week. Fractured my left foot and didn't know what to do. Thank you so much. Game-changing exercises.
I can't believe I managed to do 20-minute core workout! I like that you are calm and (surprisingly) that there is no music and motivating words, just the work that is possible to do with my injury. A true diamond! I think I will continue to do this workout when I'm back on my feet. Hate jumping up and down, it makes me dizzy. Thank you so much!
Als pro tip for pushups i found out you can actually do them! If you cross your injured leg over your healthy one and just let it rest there (in a way that feels comfortable for you ofc) you should be fine. I had my ankle broken and I do it by resting the shin of my injured leg on my other calf, that way I don't put any straint on my ankle. It's a bit tricky and slightly more tiring because you're on two arms and only one leg, but it's a great arm workout! Am doing those currently a lot since I want my arms to be strong to be able to walk on crutches for longer periods of time
Thank you so much for this offering. One of my favorite routines to do with my broken foot and ankle... So great to see a teacher wearing an actual boot- so they are really aware of the limitations! Wishing everyone an uncomplicated and full recovery!!
I'm delighted that my search for "pilates CAM boot" brought me here. It's great to feel my heart and lungs working harder again, and in this combination of winter, lockdown, and injury rehab, it's great to make a start on building my strength and flexibility up ahead of the day the boot comes off for good. Thank you!
I fractured my 4th metatarsal and have been bummed about not being able to get in a good workout. I completed this one this morning, and it gave me the mental and physical boost I needed. Thank you so much!!
Hey lily! I've just created a course for those of you wanting to keep super fit while injured... It may still be useful for you.

I carried an undiagnosed plantar inflammation for a few months before finally being placed in a moon boot 7 1/2 weeks ago. Your exercises have saved my sanity and I can not thank you enough. The calm, disciplined and structured approach builds confidence and reassurance your body will recover. I can not wait to be able to run again however I have learnt valuable lessons during this time and I am going to continue with your wonderful routines for many years to come. Thank you for sharing your expertise into my home "down Under"!!
THANK YOU FOR THIS!! i’ve had so many injuries and each time a new one happens i feel absolutely powerless and i feel like it’s such a big setback. i’ve had a good streak recently and went a year and a half without an injury and then recently i tore the ligaments in my left ankle. i was devastated but i decided to do something about it instead of feeling sorry for myself so this was the perfect workout. thanks again:)
I used to do CrossFit, quit after the specialist said most of his patients are CrossFit ones. He said lots of injuries going CrossFit, this won’t be your last time here if you don’t switch to just weight lifting.
I was really depressed because I'm used to working out and I was losing weight and suddenly I had to stay in this crappy thingy on my leg for 6 weeks. I was really worried about staying fit and stuff. Thank you so much you gave me hope fr
I hope things are feeling more hopeful now! If you’re interested I have a full course that may be good for you! kimsaha.thinkific.com/courses/stay-fit-with-foot-and-ankle-injury Take a look Kim
I am just over a week out from foot surgery and was kind of bummed that my fitness routined was interrupted. The same thing happened this time last year when I had major cervical spine surgery. Both situations warranted me doing what I could and while I cannot not weight bear this time around, your videos ensure that I can focus on other areas during my recovery. I have found other leg/glute and seated strength workouts so, I am able to piece meal routines that will keep me fit while my foot heals. Thanks so much!
I broke my tibia and fibula yesterday at a roller derby game. I was just starting my CrossFit journey and have gotten so strong. After I broke my ankle I was so scared I would lose all my progress. I go to orthopedic surgeon this week and will probably have to get pins or whatever. I looked up workouts with broken ankle and found you!!!! ❤ I did some of the workout on couch and will attempt to do the rest on my mat next. I am still in a lot of pain so will do in sections. Thank you sooooo much for your video and positive energy!!! I cried so much at the ER yesterday bc I thought I would not be able to do anything physical for a long time. You saved me, and I can’t thank you enough. I’m literally crying for joy while writing this. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for this. I just started a new job, sprained my ankle and am in a boot and crutches again. Now I don't have to wait 6 weeks to get back into shape. This helps so much - thank you!
Thank you! I just broke my toe and was told not to exercise for 6-8 weeks. I was afraid of losing my exercise routine and struggling to get back into it after such a long time, so this workout is golden to keep me on track until I can fully work out again. Thank you so much!!
Hey Cheryl, So sorry to hear about the stress fracture. I developed a course for someone in your position. Here’s the link: kimsaha.thinkific.com/courses/stay-fit-with-foot-and-ankle-injury If you email kimsahaphysio@gmail.com I can give you a few days free access. Either way good luck x
Just started my 6 months of recovery from an Achilles’ tendon injury. Thank you for the video. I was worried I wouldn’t be able to work out anymore. I can’t bare much weight on it for the time being so this was perfect!
❤ OMG I am sooooo happy to have found this! I'm 5 weeks post peroneal tendon repair of both the tendons in my left ankle. I tired 3 years ago to find videos like years when I had severe tendon damage to the right ankle, could find things at that time! Appreciate this so much!
My physician gave me your link , I was too depressed to do it before as from working out running I developed shin stress fracture, I'm so happy i did this work out n broke a sweat , thankyou so much
Thank you for posting this! I fractured my ankle working out & I was so upset I was gonna lose all my progress & this is definitely gonna make me feel better!
I never comment on UA-cam videos, but I absolutely must thank you for making this. It means the world to me (and clearly to many others as well). Thank you, thank you, thank you! And please keep doing what you're doing.
I did this workout so many times over the course of my injury that I’m pretty sure I have it memorized! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this, it helped me in more ways than I can count. Jesus loves all of you!
Broke my foot by dropping a hair dryer on it jusssst right as I was slowly beginning to work my way out of a year long stretch depressive episode, including working out, cleaning my room, working on physical health (etc.) Certainly a set back but I deeply appreciate your willingness to teach us a routine like this when we feel so stuck!! Thank you, 🧡
Ugh this!!! Happened ever since I was a child a sprain that is. Recently upon entering my 20s I’ve been diagnosed with hyper mobility, all of the crazy injuries make loads more sense now
@@thantmon4368 actually the exercises were not for my feet..the sprained foot got healed on its own..i was following this routine to keep doing my daily workout even while my feet was immobile
So glad to find this today! Broke my ankle on Tuesday and am worried about losing the progress I’ve been making this year. I’ve lost 21 lbs so far and I don’t want to get sidelined. This workout was just what I needed for my mental health. You helped me realize I can get through this! Thank you.
linda w sorry to hear about your injury. How horrid especially at the moment but how fantastic youre in a better place already! Good for you keep it up. You totally can get through this x
I’ve been sitting on the couch all summer because of my foot- and soccer tryouts are coming up 😱 I’ve been so out of shape and this is really helping!! So thanks :)
I think you were more than capable of figuring out these workouts on your own. The brain is a supercomputer. Don’t wait this long next time. Start solving the problem immediately 🧠
Thank you so much!!!! I needed this. I’ve been super consistent and rolled my ankle and now am in a boot. It’s been almost a week and I needed to get back to something and this was great!
It's awesome! I used to go on 2 mile runs every morning but I got into a motorcycle accident and broke my foot. This was a great substitution for a morning workout!
Have been battling an ankle injury for the last two months, but your workout has given me hope and strategy that will no doubt help me keep weight off and build strength again - thank you!
Sorry to hear about your ankle. I hope this does help you with your journey and it recovers soon. Have a look for the other hurt ankle workouts on the channel for variety x
This workout was amazing, I fractured my leg and this made me feel so much better because working out and being active is super important to my lifestyle. Your voice is so calming and you are amazing. Thank you
Sarah May gosh thanks so much. Poor you. I hope you recover quick. This is making me want to make more videos so people can workout with various injuries
currently recovery after ankle surgery. i’m an athlete and this is super helpful for me getting back in shape before i play on the court again. thank you!

I fractured my ankle last week and was devastated I couldn’t do sports or my usual work outs. So glad I found this video!! This is a great workout and was perfect with my boot! I felt no pain at all! Also love how positive and uplifting you are!! I saw a comment saying how real you are rather than fake smiling the whole time etc- and I so agree that you seem like such a great person! Hope your injury healed well- thank you for this video!!
Hey Ainsley, Lovely to hear from you. Sorry to hear about your injury. What a nightmare. Thanks for all your kind comments. It’s timely as due to the success of this workout I’ve filmed a full course dealing with fits throughout a foot / ankle injury. I spent the weekend editing the content and it’ll be available within the week! It concentrates on rehab, core, arms strength, leg strength, flexibility and hiit. I’ll keep you posted here! I think it’ll be perfect for you! Oh PS yes my injury healed well and I got back to my beloved polevaulting!
Hey Ainsley! I've got the course done!if you want to keep super fit while youre injured... It may still be useful for you. Theres a workout a day for all body areas, pilates, strength and fitness. Check it out and see what you think: kimsaha.thinkific.com/courses/stay-fit-with-foot-and-ankle-injury you could even come out of this fitter! Kim xxx
I have a fractured left ankle and finding your workouts on UA-cam truly brightened my mood. I have enjoyed all the boot workouts you created and have done several of the upper body hand weight works out also! Thank you for creating these!
I injured my foot a couple of days ago just as I was starting to work out again. This has given me tons of hope that I can still work out and gain some fitness while injured.
Kim, thank you for posting these wonderful workout videos! I broke two bones in my left foot in the beginning of February and I couldn’t put any weight on my foot for several weeks. Your videos have been a lifesaver! I’ve dropped most of the weight I gained from being on a scooter for several weeks and my abs are coming back. Thank you for the constant reminders to breathe, draw in the tummy, etc. They are very helpful! Best wishes for you and your loved ones to stay safe and healthy.
I injured my ankle last year and this was a lifesaver. Same ankle is giving me trouble again and I'm using this workout to reduce the impact on it and help my recovery. Thanks so much!
Thank you so much! I recently sprained my ankle badly, and up until that point I was on day 163 of working out / doing movement daily! And when I sprained my ankle a few weeks ago, I haven't done anything apart from small local walks in my boot! This was the first work out I have managed to do! And it's made me feel so confident to restart my movement daily again! (I had a massive fear around hurting myself! But I didn't at all during the whole of this workout) thank you so much!!! Made me literally feel alive again after 2 weeks of pain 🥲🤍✨🌹🪽 so grateful!!!
THANK YOU! This is so great. I have a sprained ankle in recovery and can already do things such as plank, but no rapid movement/ cardio stuff. I love this.
I am so happy to find this!! I have been walking 51/2 miles daily now i have a stress fracture on my left foot and a boot. I need about 2 hrs of exercises a day.
Hi Tammy. I've been going through the comments on this video looking for someone else that had a stress fracture in their foot (2 metatarsals). I went undiagnosed for month-and-a-half because my PCP told me my swollen foot was an infection and gave me antibiotics. What's freaking me out is I don't know what caused the stress fracture - so what should I not do. A guess is osteoporosis. I can't get doctor's appointments and when I do the doctors have no time to answer my questions. I would have liked a simple answer like do not do weight-bearing exercise. I was given a boot and wearing it during my retail shift was painful. Any help, tips appreciated. Thanks.
Thanks, Kim.. So, so glad I found you. I broke my tibia and ankle in January and underwent surgery to rebuild my leg. I am now in a boot so am starting to do more excercise again, but I pay for it in the evening! I used to do pilates regularly and after several months of little activity this workout has given me tat buzz again to do more! It is excellent and not too demanding on my injury. (in moderation of course!). Really pleased!!
Carolyne Coyle I’m so so glad, this is a lovely message thanks for writing it. Sounds like major surgery be careful of course and by all means look through the rest of the channel for more inspiration. Most of the pilates workouts will be appropriate, just miss out the standing work maybe- good luck x
Thank you for this non-weight bearing workout. Have been non weight bearing for 8 weeks, then weight bearing for about 8 weeks, now non weight bearing again for 6 weeks.
Oh Paula that sound like a nightmare. If you want I could give you a few days free access to my full course. Just email me on kimsahaphysio@gmail.com I think it could be great for you to stay fit during these challenging times
I broke my 5th metatarsal 2 wks ago and I am so glad I found you. Today is my 4th day of doing your exercises and I feel so good with myself. Thank you.
Hey Evon, this course could still help you!. Theres a workout a day for all body areas, pilates, strength and fitness. All while you're in a boot and when you come out of it. Check it out and see what you think: kimsaha.thinkific.com/courses/stay-fit-with-foot-and-ankle-injury You might even end up fitter when you're done! Kim xxx
I know this comment was a year ago but I’m here on this video with the same injury! In a cast for 4 weeks and so depressed not being able to go to the gym so this is amazing to do twice a day and burn as much as I do at the gym
I found this video as I was looking for a workout that is non-weight bearing because I injured my Achilles tendon while running. Thank you, Kim! This is perfect.
I’m really active and always working out, injuring my ankle has been challenging emotionally and physically. This workout really helped me feel some sense of normal which was exactly what I needed. Thank you! I look forward to repeating these exercises and checking out your Pilates one!
Thank you so much! I fell at the end of March and haven't been able to walk since and I've gotten very sick of doing the same 3 non weight bearing exercises for the past month-ish, so I'm very glad to have something new! This is like a present. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! Edit: can you please make a playlist of all your videos that are suitable for injuries/injury recovery
Thank you !!!! I’m super active person and had to do ligaments reconstruction and 6 weeks of no weight on my foot,,,, thank you for this amazing workout!!! ❤
I really needed this! Just broke my leg and not someone to work out but fearing weight gain during long recovery... thank you! Very helpful and doable!
Definitely had to modify some of the exercises because it was just too uncomfortable for my ankle/ leg (left leg as well!)... but still really glad I was able to get a bit of a workout in nonetheless. Am going a little crazy staying at home all day, but this worked definitely helped me. Thanks Kim!
I broke my ankle in three places and dislocated it and had to have emergency Internal ankle Fixation surgery, I have been laid up for 6 weeks only starting physio week 8 , I have gone from 6 days a week exercising to Nothing.... I have felt despondent depressed and couldn't stop crying, After this workout I felt better emotionally and motivated to commit to my physical and mental recovery .Thank you )
wow Annette! that a journey. Poor you. It really is my worst nightmare. Well done getting out there and finding something you CAN do. Have you seen my course?! its designed perfectly for you. If you want 24 h access to it please just message me on kimsahaphysio@gmail.com here's the link: kimsaha.thinkific.com/courses/stay-fit-with-foot-and-ankle-injury good luck!
Your videos are a godsend to me at this point in my life having broken my ankle. I’ve been doing them all on a daily basis and feel so good after. How anyone can give you a thumbs down is ridiculous to me. Thank you for sharing these workouts.
Amy Houdek thank you so much, you’re the reason I make these videos. I love to hear this kind of feedback. In my opinion if people don’t like it they have the option not to watch 😜 thanks for taking the time to comment I really appreciate it!! Stay safe and good luck!
Lucky Lady I’m so sorry to hear that, take your time though, your foot needs to be comfortable at rest first and doing every day things before you start. And maybe start with the pilates version first...
Oh, I love your patience! You are speaking right to my heart! Thanks for supporting us - injuried ones. Take care of yourself during quarantine. Love :)
What an incredible gift these boot workouts are! I broke my 5th metatarsal on my left foot in December and just had a second surgery yesterday. I am so grateful for your boot workouts! ThankYou!!
I made my commitment to begin improving my health and fitness the same week I broke my ankle, and I thought it was hopeless to try working on it while I’m stuck in the boot. Thank you for this! Just went outside and worked out for the first time in over a month
I am a very active ballet dancer, and I sprained my toe. I have been sorely missing ballet, and have just really needed exercise. This was perfect!! Thank you!
Thank you!! I just had bunion removal surgery on my feet and didn’t want to completely sit in my butt for 6-8 weeks while I can’t be on my left foot and I was able to use to your videos to help me keep my goals in line! Thanks!
Looked for a video like this for a week. I’m home doing nothing not working out and anxiety is making me visit the kitchen too much. I injured my ankle at work, since my job is lifting heavy boxes, so is a no no from the doctor to be at work nevertheless at the gym.
I recently fell down while playing tennis. I twisted my ankle which resulted in ligament tear. These exercises are just so helpful. Thank you so much!😊
I'm so grateful to have found this! I just started working out and have been loving feeling stronger, so hurting my ankle felt devastating as I worried it meant I would lose all my progress. I will definitely be using this until it heals! Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video. I have always been very active at the gym, but since they closed in March it was hard to continue with all that was going on at home. Then, I broke my foot about 3 weeks ago😢. This sent me into a worse depression and increased my anxiety even more. I've always used exercise and being active to help my stress and my anxiety depression issues. I can do this with a few adjustments until I can walk in my boot...just got out of my cast. I'm so glad I found this today. Thank you!
An N you’re so welcome. I really feel your pain. Exercise and fitness is everything to me when it comes to my mental health. I was injured in this video... I’d torn my plantar fascia. I lost next to no fitness so it is possible. You can do it. Stay strong x
Thank you Kim. This was really helpful. I recently injured my achilles and am resting my foot up as much as possible so it's great to have some cardio and abs exercises that are non weight-bearing. I was worried about missing out on exercising so am really glad there are still some workouts that I can do.
Melanie Nightingale yay that’s so cool. Keep going there’s so much you can still do. All the Pilates on the channel is accessible too. Just take it easy x
Thank you for your boot workouts! I did your Pilates boot workout yesterday and your HIIT boot workout today. It really helps to have exercises to do. Thank you!💜
Hi Lisa I’m so glad. Make sure you look at my course kimsaha.thinkific.com/courses/stay-fit-with-foot-and-ankle-injury there’s arm and leg strength, pilates, hiit, flexibility, advice and rehab for throughout your recovery stages. Kim x
OMG...I am so happy to have found this! Sustained a stress fracture in my right foot 2 days ago while running. I allowed myself a day to sulk, but definitely need something to keep my mind and body strong while not able to weight bear for 6 weeks.
Thanks a lot!!! I broke one of my toes a week ago and can't put any weight on it. I was feeling down because I love to run and work our and I wasn't able to train. I just completed the workout, I'm sweating and my toe is just perfect! Thanks a lot!!!
Every time I get injured, I always lose my workout momentum. I want to get back in shape, but just sprained my ankle again hiking in the snow. Thanks for making videos like this! I wasn't able to do the full workout, but I did all but the last one and added some of my own gentler exercises afterwards. Also dealing with a mostly healed diastasis, so I was pleasantly surprised it didn't cone! Woohoo!
Thank you for these workouts! I broke my foot and was so frustrated not being able to workout, so I am so glad I found your channel! Can't wait till I can try some of your workouts without the boot!
I broke my ankle and I couldn’t do any workouts because my in most workouts you have to be on your feet and this helped me so much , thank you .
Sorcha Dunne I’m so glad to help x
I broke my ankle too, two years ago, I tried to do some hard squats and now my ankle pain is back. And it hurts so much. 😭 But I don't want to give up on fitness. But now I'm always afraid of forcing my ankle.
Like I have been wanting to exercise and I did for like two days then I got caught cause if you try to lose weight in my family its like ok the whole family doing this and find crappy recipes on Pinterest or weight washers that suck and they just make a whole deal out of it and I broke both of my ankles 3 years ago and got a surgery in April and I’m weight baring but I have to get my hard ware out of my foot so I don’t want to injure it so I will be using this ( sorry I type a lot it’s like 12 am and I am bored but I’ll be using this )
Can relate!
Exactly, this exercise fanatic is not realistic. She is too busy trying to promote herself.
After reading all of the comments, I realize that others feel the same way I do with an injured foot/ankle! The mental component of it is the hardest part!! This is really helpful - thank you so much! Looking forward to seeing your other stuff! ❤
Just what I was looking for! Having a broken foot sucks 🥺
Ah it really does. I hope this makes it just a little easier x
I just broke mine last week and I’m having withdrawals from the gym
Just broke part of my ankle and was supposed to do a fit challenge. Found this and gonna try this.
I broke my foot. I started to do this in week 2 but it was still too much.. 4 weeks later I’m easing in but some are still too tough. Slowly but surely!
Pretty sure I fractured my foot today... Sucks
Kim, you saved my mental and physical well-being. I was getting in 13-18k walking steps a day, 6 days a week. Fractured my left foot and didn't know what to do. Thank you so much. Game-changing exercises.
I can't believe I managed to do 20-minute core workout! I like that you are calm and (surprisingly) that there is no music and motivating words, just the work that is possible to do with my injury. A true diamond! I think I will continue to do this workout when I'm back on my feet. Hate jumping up and down, it makes me dizzy.

I looked up workouts with broken ankle and found you!!!! ❤
I did some of the workout on couch and will attempt to do the rest on my mat next.
I am still in a lot of pain so will do in sections.
Thank you sooooo much for your video and positive energy!!!
I cried so much at the ER yesterday bc I thought I would not be able to do anything physical for a long time.
You saved me, and I can’t thank you enough. I’m literally crying for joy while writing this.

Thank you for this. I just started a new job, sprained my ankle and am in a boot and crutches again. Now I don't have to wait 6 weeks to get back into shape. This helps so much - thank you!

Elisabeth Wente thanks for the lovely comment! Sorry to hear about your toe. I’m so glad to help. 🥰
This one along with some other simple workouts kept me decently fit and mentally sane during an ankle fracture recovery. Many thanks Kim ❤️
I love how real you are. Many workout videos are like mannequins with fake smile and cheesy music...
Ahh thank you so much. I just film like I’ve a class I front of me. I really appreciate your comment 😁
I was just diagnosed with a severe stress fracture and I was so depressed until I found this workout! Thank you so much for this!!
Hey Cheryl,
So sorry to hear about the stress fracture.

Just started my 6 months of recovery from an Achilles’ tendon injury. Thank you for the video. I was worried I wouldn’t be able to work out anymore. I can’t bare much weight on it for the time being so this was perfect!
Brilliant glad to help!
❤ OMG I am sooooo happy to have found this! I'm 5 weeks post peroneal tendon repair of both the tendons in my left ankle. I tired 3 years ago to find videos like years when I had severe tendon damage to the right ankle, could find things at that time! Appreciate this so much!
I appreciated your calm voice and understanding of all levels. Lovely!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for helping me get through foot surgery recovery. You were a lifesaver and have such a pleasant, positive voice!
thank you!! you're very welcome
My physician gave me your link , I was too depressed to do it before as from working out running I developed shin stress fracture, I'm so happy i did this work out n broke a sweat , thankyou so much
That’s interesting your physician gave you the link! I’m honoured so glad it’s benefitted you
Thank you for posting this! I fractured my ankle working out & I was so upset I was gonna lose all my progress & this is definitely gonna make me feel better!
I never comment on UA-cam videos, but I absolutely must thank you for making this. It means the world to me (and clearly to many others as well). Thank you, thank you, thank you! And please keep doing what you're doing.
I’ve just started your workouts after fracturing my metatarsal 2 weeks ago. Thank you for providing inspiration 😀
I did this workout so many times over the course of my injury that I’m pretty sure I have it memorized! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this, it helped me in more ways than I can count. Jesus loves all of you!
I scrapped my Achilles’ tendon 5 weeks ago and I’ve been doing these exercises 7 days a week for 4 weeks now. It’s a brilliant workout, I love it...
Kin Maclachlan fab! Well done you. So glad it’s helped you x
I recently broke a bone in my foot and this was a great way to work out this morning, thank you!
jensurow you’re so welcome
Broke my foot by dropping a hair dryer on it jusssst right as I was slowly beginning to work my way out of a year long stretch depressive episode, including working out, cleaning my room, working on physical health (etc.)
Certainly a set back but I deeply appreciate your willingness to teach us a routine like this when we feel so stuck!!
Thank you, 🧡
Wonderful! Thank you! My first workout after the week of immobility. Feels great!
I sprain/fracture my ankle/foot so frequently that I have saved this workout in my playlist🤧😂😂. Thanks its really effective ❤️.
Ugh this!!! Happened ever since I was a child a sprain that is. Recently upon entering my 20s I’ve been diagnosed with hyper mobility, all of the crazy injuries make loads more sense now
Hi, now you got better with those exercises?
@@Rainedropsss ooh.. I actually have flat feet maybe that's why I trip and fall more that the avg person:(
@@thantmon4368 actually the exercises were not for my feet..the sprained foot got healed on its own..i was following this routine to keep doing my daily workout even while my feet was immobile
So glad to find this today! Broke my ankle on Tuesday and am worried about losing the progress I’ve been making this year. I’ve lost 21 lbs so far and I don’t want to get sidelined. This workout was just what I needed for my mental health. You helped me realize I can get through this! Thank you.
linda w sorry to hear about your injury. How horrid especially at the moment but how fantastic youre in a better place already! Good for you keep it up. You totally can get through this x
I’ve been sitting on the couch all summer because of my foot- and soccer tryouts are coming up 😱 I’ve been so out of shape and this is really helping!! So thanks :)
Omg same here bro
I think you were more than capable of figuring out these workouts on your own. The brain is a supercomputer. Don’t wait this long next time. Start solving the problem immediately 🧠
Thank you so much!!!! I needed this. I’ve been super consistent and rolled my ankle and now am in a boot. It’s been almost a week and I needed to get back to something and this was great!
I am recovering from gout in my toe and this workout was perfect to avoid putting pressure on it! 🙏🏻
It's awesome! I used to go on 2 mile runs every morning but I got into a motorcycle accident and broke my foot. This was a great substitution for a morning workout!
Great substitute isn’t it. You may end up continuing with hiit workouts 😝
Have been battling an ankle injury for the last two months, but your workout has given me hope and strategy that will no doubt help me keep weight off and build strength again - thank you!
Sorry to hear about your ankle. I hope this does help you with your journey and it recovers soon. Have a look for the other hurt ankle workouts on the channel for variety x
This workout was amazing, I fractured my leg and this made me feel so much better because working out and being active is super important to my lifestyle. Your voice is so calming and you are amazing. Thank you
Sarah May gosh thanks so much. Poor you. I hope you recover quick. This is making me want to make more videos so people can workout with various injuries
Kim Saha yes please! Make as many videos as you are inspired to do! I’ll be on crutches for a couple more weeks and would love your videos!
currently recovery after ankle surgery. i’m an athlete and this is super helpful for me getting back in shape before i play on the court again. thank you!
you're so welcome and good luck with the return

I fractured my ankle last week and was devastated I couldn’t do sports or my usual work outs. So glad I found this video!! This is a great workout and was perfect with my boot! I felt no pain at all! Also love how positive and uplifting you are!! I saw a comment saying how real you are rather than fake smiling the whole time etc- and I so agree that you seem like such a great person! Hope your injury healed well- thank you for this video!!
Hey Ainsley,
Lovely to hear from you.
Sorry to hear about your injury. What a nightmare. Thanks for all your kind comments. It’s timely as due to the success of this workout I’ve filmed a full course dealing with fits throughout a foot / ankle injury. I spent the weekend editing the content and it’ll be available within the week! It concentrates on rehab, core, arms strength, leg strength, flexibility and hiit. I’ll keep you posted here! I think it’ll be perfect for you!
Oh PS yes my injury healed well and I got back to my beloved polevaulting!
Hey Ainsley! I've got the course done!if you want to keep super fit while youre injured... It may still be useful for you. Theres a workout a day for all body areas, pilates, strength and fitness. Check it out and see what you think: kimsaha.thinkific.com/courses/stay-fit-with-foot-and-ankle-injury
you could even come out of this fitter!

I have a fractured left ankle and finding your workouts on UA-cam truly brightened my mood. I have enjoyed all the boot workouts you created and have done several of the upper body hand weight works out also! Thank you for creating these!
So lovely to hear it brightened your mood. Thanks for telling me that’s great. Hope you can keep working out regularly
I injured my foot a couple of days ago just as I was starting to work out again. This has given me tons of hope that I can still work out and gain some fitness while injured.
oh im so glad, you sure can keep fit! go for it
Thank you so much! I broke my toe last week and grateful I found your video. It's helping me keep my sanity ❤
I'm 5 weeks post achilles repair and partially weight bearing now and still enjoying this core workout almost daily. Thank you thank you Kim.
Rhonda Wilson that’s such great news I love to hear this 💕
Kim, thank you for posting these wonderful workout videos! I broke two bones in my left foot in the beginning of February and I couldn’t put any weight on my foot for several weeks. Your videos have been a lifesaver! I’ve dropped most of the weight I gained from being on a scooter for several weeks and my abs are coming back. Thank you for the constant reminders to breathe, draw in the tummy, etc. They are very helpful! Best wishes for you and your loved ones to stay safe and healthy.
Im so excited to her this, your comment made my day. thank you. Keep working hard!! and stay safe of course
I injured my ankle last year and this was a lifesaver. Same ankle is giving me trouble again and I'm using this workout to reduce the impact on it and help my recovery. Thanks so much!
good plan, hope it settled, im a bit late replying
Thank you so much! I recently sprained my ankle badly, and up until that point I was on day 163 of working out / doing movement daily! And when I sprained my ankle a few weeks ago, I haven't done anything apart from small local walks in my boot! This was the first work out I have managed to do! And it's made me feel so confident to restart my movement daily again! (I had a massive fear around hurting myself! But I didn't at all during the whole of this workout) thank you so much!!! Made me literally feel alive again after 2 weeks of pain 🥲🤍✨🌹🪽 so grateful!!!
This is BRILLIANT! I was getting so frustrated not being able to do anything while my foot was healing. Thanks for putting this together!
I’m so glad you liked it and hope you recover soon
You just saved my wedding, thank you!
Monika Prokop wow. What a comment! Congratulations and sorry you’ve hurt your foot. Good luck with your recovery x
Actually here for the same thing😂
Broke my foot, bad soft tissue damage and getting married 2nd Oct!!😟
Congrats!
THANK YOU! This is so great. I have a sprained ankle in recovery and can already do things such as plank, but no rapid movement/ cardio stuff. I love this.
You’re welcome. It’s great you’ve looked to keep yourself fit! I wish you a rapid recovery
Thank you for this! I've been needing some ideas to workout while healing a sprained ankle. I really appreciate this!
you're welcome! its so important to keep fit and strong - good luck with the recovery. check out my ankle rehab video it'll be perfect for you
I am so happy to find this!! I have been walking 51/2 miles daily now i have a stress fracture on my left foot and a boot. I need about 2 hrs of exercises a day.
Hi Tammy. I've been going through the comments on this video looking for someone else that had a stress fracture in their foot (2 metatarsals). I went undiagnosed for month-and-a-half because my PCP told me my swollen foot was an infection and gave me antibiotics. What's freaking me out is I don't know what caused the stress fracture - so what should I not do. A guess is osteoporosis. I can't get doctor's appointments and when I do the doctors have no time to answer my questions. I would have liked a simple answer like do not do weight-bearing exercise. I was given a boot and wearing it during my retail shift was painful. Any help, tips appreciated. Thanks.
Thanks, Kim.. So, so glad I found you. I broke my tibia and ankle in January and underwent surgery to rebuild my leg. I am now in a boot so am starting to do more excercise again, but I pay for it in the evening! I used to do pilates regularly and after several months of little activity this workout has given me tat buzz again to do more! It is excellent and not too demanding on my injury. (in moderation of course!). Really pleased!!
Carolyne Coyle I’m so so glad, this is a lovely message thanks for writing it. Sounds like major surgery be careful of course and by all means look through the rest of the channel for more inspiration. Most of the pilates workouts will be appropriate, just miss out the standing work maybe- good luck x
Thank you for this non-weight bearing workout. Have been non weight bearing for 8 weeks, then weight bearing for about 8 weeks, now non weight bearing again for 6 weeks.
Oh Paula that sound like a nightmare. If you want I could give you a few days free access to my full course. Just email me on kimsahaphysio@gmail.com I think it could be great for you to stay fit during these challenging times
I broke my 5th metatarsal 2 wks ago and I am so glad I found you. Today is my 4th day of doing your exercises and I feel so good with myself. Thank you.
I'm so sorry to hear that but Wonderful! you have been able to exercise through.
Take care
Kim x
Hey Evon, this course could still help you!. Theres a workout a day for all body areas, pilates, strength and fitness. All while you're in a boot and when you come out of it. Check it out and see what you think: kimsaha.thinkific.com/courses/stay-fit-with-foot-and-ankle-injury
You might even end up fitter when you're done!

I know this comment was a year ago but I’m here on this video with the same injury! In a cast for 4 weeks and so depressed not being able to go to the gym so this is amazing to do twice a day and burn as much as I do at the gym
Thank you so much ankle injury hurtss bad physically and mentally
I found this video as I was looking for a workout that is non-weight bearing because I injured my Achilles tendon while running. Thank you, Kim! This is perfect.
Maria Morton oh I’m so glad, sorry to hear about the Achilles though. I hope it recovers remember calf raises and stretches when you can again
I scanned my Achilles Tendon 5 weeks ago, all the best for your recovery
I’m really active and always working out, injuring my ankle has been challenging emotionally and physically. This workout really helped me feel some sense of normal which was exactly what I needed. Thank you! I look forward to repeating these exercises and checking out your Pilates one!
You're so welcome! hope you're getting on well
I love the little tips you add to help with keeping form, thank you!
I was warming up with jump ropes and I JUST sprained my ankle, I’m SO SO happy I found this 🖤🖤🖤
Thank you so much! I fell at the end of March and haven't been able to walk since and I've gotten very sick of doing the same 3 non weight bearing exercises for the past month-ish, so I'm very glad to have something new! This is like a present. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
Edit: can you please make a playlist of all your videos that are suitable for injuries/injury recovery
May Flower so sorry to hear about your injury.
You’re so welcome glad to help xxx
Thank you !!!! I’m super active person and had to do ligaments reconstruction and 6 weeks of no weight on my foot,,,, thank you for this amazing workout!!! ❤
I am in the same boat! I’m so happy to have found something. I’ve been down because I’m so limited with my injury. Thank you!
I really needed this! Just broke my leg and not someone to work out but fearing weight gain during long recovery... thank you! Very helpful and doable!
Brenna Westover ahhh I’m so glad to help. Thanks for commenting and I’m sorry it’s going to be such a long recovery. Good luck x
I broke my ankle and have always been super active. This workout was so nice to get a little sweat in thanks for making me feel human!
Definitely had to modify some of the exercises because it was just too uncomfortable for my ankle/ leg (left leg as well!)... but still really glad I was able to get a bit of a workout in nonetheless. Am going a little crazy staying at home all day, but this worked definitely helped me. Thanks Kim!
I broke my ankle in three places and dislocated it and had to have emergency Internal ankle Fixation surgery, I have been laid up for 6 weeks only starting physio week 8 , I have gone from 6 days a week exercising to Nothing.... I have felt despondent depressed and couldn't stop crying, After this workout I felt better emotionally and motivated to commit to my physical and mental recovery .Thank you )
wow Annette! that a journey. Poor you. It really is my worst nightmare. Well done getting out there and finding something you CAN do. Have you seen my course?! its designed perfectly for you.

Thank you! I’ve been looking for workouts like this all day because of my foot injury. Helps so much!
You’re welcome x
Broke my leg, and this REALLY helped, especially after my surgery. Thank you!
you're so welcome
Thank you it’s so miserable to be an active person and then be stuck doing nothing….this is wonderful
Your videos are a godsend to me at this point in my life having broken my ankle. I’ve been doing them all on a daily basis and feel so good after. How anyone can give you a thumbs down is ridiculous to me. Thank you for sharing these workouts.
Amy Houdek thank you so much, you’re the reason I make these videos. I love to hear this kind of feedback.
In my opinion if people don’t like it they have the option not to watch 😜 thanks for taking the time to comment I really appreciate it!! Stay safe and good luck!
Lucky Lady I’m so sorry to hear that, take your time though, your foot needs to be comfortable at rest first and doing every day things before you start. And maybe start with the pilates version first...
Lucky Lady ua-cam.com/video/mcDAMSMP7Ow/v-deo.html
Here you go!
Oh, I love your patience! You are speaking right to my heart! Thanks for supporting us - injuried ones. Take care of yourself during quarantine. Love :)
Julie Halašová what an absolutely lovely think to say! You made my day and makes it worthwhile me making these vids xxx
What an incredible gift these boot workouts are! I broke my 5th metatarsal on my left foot in December and just had a second surgery yesterday. I am so grateful for your boot workouts! ThankYou!!
Sorry could I ask why a second surgery? The first one did not go good? (Was it also on the fifth metatarso the first one?)
Thank you!! Broke my ankle a week and a half ago. I miss working out SO much! THANK YOU!!
Thank you for this, and your other workouts for those with a leg injury. This is going to help keep me sane in the weeks ahead ❤
Eek! If you like it there’s a full course for £40 kimsaha.thinkific.com/courses/stay-fit-with-foot-and-ankle-injury
I made my commitment to begin improving my health and fitness the same week I broke my ankle, and I thought it was hopeless to try working on it while I’m stuck in the boot. Thank you for this! Just went outside and worked out for the first time in over a month
Thank you in helping me recover from my injury. This workout gets me every time!
im so so glad x
I am a very active ballet dancer, and I sprained my toe. I have been sorely missing ballet, and have just really needed exercise. This was perfect!! Thank you!
Savannah I bet you’re missing it! Glad To help In some small way x
This and your Pilates routine have been absolute life savers during my broken ankle surgery recovery! Thank you! 🙏🏻
I’m
So glad. Recover quick too
this is such a great video, i don't even have a injured ankle anymore and i still come back to this video
Ah that's cool, no reason why not
Thank you!! I just had bunion removal surgery on my feet and didn’t want to completely sit in my butt for 6-8 weeks while I can’t be on my left foot and I was able to use to your videos to help me keep my goals in line! Thanks!
I am getting ready for bunion surgery and am looking for a workout like this.
Looked for a video like this for a week. I’m home doing nothing not working out and anxiety is making me visit the kitchen too much. I injured my ankle at work, since my job is lifting heavy boxes, so is a no no from the doctor to be at work nevertheless at the gym.
Thank you for this help in exercising safely with my metatarsal fracture
You’re welcome !
I recently fell down while playing tennis. I twisted my ankle which resulted in ligament tear. These exercises are just so helpful. Thank you so much!😊
Glad to help 😀
😀
I'm so grateful to have found this! I just started working out and have been loving feeling stronger, so hurting my ankle felt devastating as I worried it meant I would lose all my progress. I will definitely be using this until it heals! Thank you!
Fabulous clover, I hope you get back soon
Thank you so much for this video. I have always been very active at the gym, but since they closed in March it was hard to continue with all that was going on at home. Then, I broke my foot about 3 weeks ago😢. This sent me into a worse depression and increased my anxiety even more. I've always used exercise and being active to help my stress and my anxiety depression issues. I can do this with a few adjustments until I can walk in my boot...just got out of my cast. I'm so glad I found this today. Thank you!
An N you’re so welcome. I really feel your pain. Exercise and fitness is everything to me when it comes to my mental health. I was injured in this video... I’d torn my plantar fascia. I lost next to no fitness so it is possible. You can do it. Stay strong x
Thank you for this workout. It's wonderful to move fast when you have an ankle injury.
it is isn't it!!
you are a SAVIOR I had a broke foot for the past month and I been struggling to find exercises. Thank you so much!
sooo welcome. good luck!
Thank you Kim. This was really helpful. I recently injured my achilles and am resting my foot up as much as possible so it's great to have some cardio and abs exercises that are non weight-bearing. I was worried about missing out on exercising so am really glad there are still some workouts that I can do.
Melanie Nightingale yay that’s so cool. Keep going there’s so much you can still do. All the Pilates on the channel is accessible too. Just take it easy x
Thank you for your boot workouts! I did your Pilates boot workout yesterday and your HIIT boot workout today. It really helps to have exercises to do. Thank you!💜
Hi Lisa I’m so glad. Make sure you look at my course kimsaha.thinkific.com/courses/stay-fit-with-foot-and-ankle-injury there’s arm and leg strength, pilates, hiit, flexibility, advice and rehab for throughout your recovery stages. Kim x
OMG...I am so happy to have found this! Sustained a stress fracture in my right foot 2 days ago while running. I allowed myself a day to sulk, but definitely need something to keep my mind and body strong while not able to weight bear for 6 weeks.
Thanks a lot!!! I broke one of my toes a week ago and can't put any weight on it. I was feeling down because I love to run and work our and I wasn't able to train. I just completed the workout, I'm sweating and my toe is just perfect! Thanks a lot!!!
I have a stress fracture from running. This is so good Kim, thank you!
Every time I get injured, I always lose my workout momentum. I want to get back in shape, but just sprained my ankle again hiking in the snow. Thanks for making videos like this! I wasn't able to do the full workout, but I did all but the last one and added some of my own gentler exercises afterwards. Also dealing with a mostly healed diastasis, so I was pleasantly surprised it didn't cone! Woohoo!
Thank you for these workouts! I broke my foot and was so frustrated not being able to workout, so I am so glad I found your channel! Can't wait till I can try some of your workouts without the boot!
Lillian Hough you’re welcome and yes there are so many you can do with an injured foot. Most start in standing so just skip that part! Take care x
I love this workout. I'm in a boot for an achilles repair--this has kept me going. Thank you!
Lori Hewig you’re so welcome good luck with your recovery
