Have a leg in a cast so how do I get exercise for my abdomen

Try crunches. When you're lying down or reclining, lift yourself up and feel the muscles in your abdomen tighten up. Another thing that might help is to tighten your stomach muscles for 10 seconds or so, then let them relax. Tighten up...relax, etc. Hope these ideas are helpful.

Is there still a way that you can lay in the floor and do some half sit ups? That would help your abdomen muscles. You could also lean against a countertop and do push ups against it while standing and that will help your stomach muscles also.

Take those weights a lie down, arms at your sides with the weights in hand. Lift them up as you exhale then inhale when you lower your arms. This will exercise your abdomen. Can you do any sit-ups in the position you're in, or lean back far enough that it tugs at your abdominal muscles? That will work, too! Where there's a will, there's a way. Good luck!

Wow! I feel your pain. 3 yrs ago I fell on the ice and crushed my ankle. I still have a great deal of pain and walk with a limp. I had the double sided surgery that put in a plate and about a dozen screws. I just got them out last year. My ankle is still swollen, and I'm afraid I'll never be able to wear my 4 1/2 inch spiked heels again Is it possible for you to put some pillows under your knees in bed and do some sit ups, or that abdominal curl (I'm not sure of the technical name)that puts less strain on your neck? Alternatively, how long do you expect to be in recovery? Maybe you can just wait 'til you have healed and then take up an exercise regime. xoxo Cyne
