I want to start 2015 right, but I am in a walking boot to the knee. I was going to go to the gym and work with weights since cardio is out. Thoughts? Will the gym let me work out with a boot on?
Talk with someone at the front desk. Make your situation known.
I am non-weight-bearing on my left leg because I had a rod, plates and screws inserted into my left leg after a very bad tibial plateau fracture. Once I'm partial weight-bearing and cleared to walk with a cane, and with my physical therapist's okay, I'm heading back to my gym to work on my upper body and core.
I agree, talk with someone at the gym. I see no reason they wouldn't let you use machines to workout your arms or do crunches or whatever you can without using the bad leg. They may have some sort of safety rule for it though.. and each gym could be different. Best to ask. You could even call ahead to get answers.
So I ended up not going and was able to ride my exercise bike at home for 20 mins. i am going to call my dr tomorrow and see what he says. Thank you all

You can try qigong for non-impact exercise or as I call it "ultra-simplified taichi that even the village idiot can do it"!
Go on Youtube and look for Spring Forest qi gong for free exercises. That's the one I know.
