i run 5 days a week for 15-20 minutes each day. that may not seem like a lot, but coming off an ankle injury & asthma im trying to go slow. by the end of running, i am sweating, so i am trying, but does anyone think thats not enough?? i only eat 3 meals anyway, im just trying to not gain weight since i cant play a sport this year. is there any other exercises i can do?? i've been doing sit ups/6 inches & i use a stationary bike. what are your opinions??

I really love kickboxing. I also took Karate. These are two really great sports that work out your entire body. Plus if you get into the right type of martial arts it will also promote a healthy mind- body- and spirit.
Also- if you just had an ankle injury i might would try another form of exercise than running. I fear that running would only add insult to that injury. please make sure to always protect your ankle until it completely heals!
