Earlier this year when COVID struck I started exercising and dieting. I ran 4 times a week, long hikes every weekend and really enjoyed exercising. After a short but nasty fall while bouldering I ended up snapping my tibula and fibula as well as dislocating my ankle. I was non-weight bearing for 16 weeks and on crutches for an additional 6. This happens at the very end of June, and as a result I lost most of my ankle strength and ankle flexibility. I focused on eating what ever I wanted to not impede my healing what so ever and slowly introduced walking every morning (roughly 2.5km/day).
Today was my second time at the gym this week! While I cannot run at this stage, or for many many more months, I have finally regained enough mentality and motivation to once again go to the gym as part of my diet. I am doing 30 min on the eleptical and some strength. Slowly but surely I will climb forward in fitness even though I have reduced mobility!
Other victory: my clothes fit better now than they did pre-injury!
