Here's my thing:

I've been sick for a few months and last year I broke the fuck out of my ankle and I still have trouble with it. I have bad joints, and while I'm still thin I want to keep my strength up or I suspect getting less sick could be difficult and I don't want to get atrophy or any bullshit like that.

Other than swimming, what are low impact exercises I can do 3-4 times a week? I'm not looking to build muscle exactly, but I have trouble walking long distances now and I would like a replacement for it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
 
When in doubt, go with the 5BX

ETA: This is the link to the XBX which is better in your condition because it focuses more on flexibility exercises than hard impact exercise. Just stick with the XBX it's good for people of both genders and only takes one minute longer.
 
strength training will yield the most benefits for your general health and well-being. talk to a doctor or two, figure out a way to lift weights without blowing up your joints

other than that i think swimming is by far the best. not just because it's the safest, but it's also a well rounded workout that trains your entire body (arms, legs, back) unlike running or cycling for example which only really trains legs.
 
"I have trouble walking long distances now and I would like a replacement for it."

If you can, walk on a treadmill.

You'll get feedback on mileage/kilometerage(or whatever you Eurotrash call it) that you can record and see your progress, even if you're not doing very much at first. Also, lame as they generally are, you can accomplish similar with one of those gay pedometer things (I'll give you a pass since there's an injury involved).

Aside from that, also focus on general strength and especially flexibility exercises.
 
General thank you to all of you who replied, this is why I enjoy the farms.
Will look at finding a place to swim in cold months, have access to a stationary bike already.

I have something like a pedometer I think and I guess I'll have to be a fag and see what I can do with it.

Yeah OP should do Starting Strength. Just linear, progressive overload to get stronger and then branch from there.
 
whatever you do, Do some stretches before strenuous exercises because your ankle may have lost a good amount of its flexibility. But overtime you'll get it all back.

I actually had to do physical therapy, but I noticed I still do have some issues. Will try these, thank you. Amazing what the doctors/therapists don't mention sometimes.
 
I'm trying to find a better mat to exercise on. I've been using a cheaper yoga mat but it's starting to go flat.

Should I be looking for a yoga mat or something else? I don't have a large space to workout so I can't get anything too big.
