I sprained my ankle last night.  I'm icing, elevating, and taking ibuprofen.  When is it safe to do cardio again?  How will I know?

    When I sprained my ankle in high school, my doctor told me to do an exercise where I used my big toe to "draw" the alphabet every day for two weeks. It's a good exercise to help strengthen the ankle and keep it mobile. I would stick to low impact cardio, like an elliptical for a couple weeks. After that you could probably ease back into your routine.

    Can you walk on it without limping? You should stay off it until you can walk without limping. After that, just go slow and if it hurts, stop.
