How do you stay fit when you have a sprained ankle?

It is still possible to do some forms of cardio training while recovering from a sprained ankle. Examples include gentle exercises that get the heart pumping, such as swimming or riding a stationary bicycle or elliptical.

How long should you stay off your ankle injury?

Recovery time from a sprained ankle will depend on the severity of the sprain. Most ankle sprains are mild and only need ice and elevation. Mild sprains typically begin to feel better in a few days to a week and heal by six weeks. More severe ankle sprains could take more than a few weeks or months to fully recover.

Can I walk for exercise with a sprained ankle?

You can try to walk or put weight on your foot. You may need to use crutches until you can walk without pain. Depending on your pain, you can also begin range-of-motion exercises while you have ice on your ankle.
