Ok, I argued with myself yesterday after my alarm clock went off at 4:30 am , because I did not want to get out of bed that early. Well I got up anyway. 15 minutes into Cathe's low impact step, I sprained my ankle doing step repeaters, apparently I was not fully awake. I gave i and went to the doctors today and came home with crutches!! I have never sprained an ankle before!! How long does it take to heal!!! x(

Luvmylabs~Sorry to hear of your injury.
It's not a fun time, I know. I sprained my ankle last fall and thought it was the end of my workouts. But DH convinced me all was not lost and to concentrate on working my UB and abs. (You have to be careful with the abwork. It gets a little tricky sometimes.) ;-) But I was so happy that I could still work out!
I couldn't do any cardio for 6 weeks and when I started back it was with mostly kickboxing--the stepping was still difficult. I also bought an ankle brace and used it for about six months.
Take advantage of the so-called "opportunity" ;( and really work your UB.
Let us know how it goes for you.
