I currently have a foot condition (affecting both feet) which means I am unable to take part in any exercise which requires extended use of them. I really want to improve my health and fitness but the only exercise I can think of which I will be able to do right now is swimming. Are there any other things I could do?

The require sitting on the ground so you wouldnt have to use your feet.
I dont know what your foot condition is, but there are excersises you can do to help relieve then and improve them. One thing i use on my feet is a rolling technique. I take a feild hockey ball (or any small conpound and round object), place in benethe my foot, and roll the ball back and forth beneth my foot and the floor. The point is to put lots of pressure so that it hurts a little bit, that way you know your getting results. What this does is it kneeds the muscles, releasing all the bad fluids.
I dont know if that is a solution to you problem, but it may help :) [ blondiebluesky's advice column | Ask blondiebluesky A Question ]

If you want to go with the swimming then why not try aerobics? [ Jesss1's advice column | Ask Jesss1 A Question ]
