Stress fracture...now what to do?

I was just diagnoised with a stress fracture in my right tibia. As of right now they wont even let me swim in a pool, they said all I can do is abs and weighs. SO I guess my question is if anyone has any ideas of different exersices I can do, that are fun creative and different? thanks for your help.

Re: Stress fracture...now what to do?
Well that really does suck....Since running is an important part of your life get some core training done. My best advice would to get a medicine ball and a exercise ball and work your abs. The medicine ball exercises will really kill em..If you do do weights try circuit workouts where you do one exercise after another with about 10-12 reps. This is more of a fat burning regime but won't build bulk when you get back to running
