Perhaps try stretching before excersizing. I hurt my foot about 2 weeks ago doing the same thing, but then my coach told me to stretch for about 20 minutes, and it started going away. As for your situation, I'd let it heal, maybe instead of working on your leg muscles, try your arms instead. Let it rest and try putting ice on it and stretch out before you excersize!

Try birkenstocks, I broke my ankle in september 05 and it seems to be the only shoe that my feet feel really supported in at the moment. Other than that you probably need some good trainers. \nI also use an ankle aupport too.

The best thing to do is tape your ankle before every game. Othe protections wil reduce you area of movement so it's not that good.\n\nBut taping your ankle won't prevent you from severe sprains tho, it'll just diminish them.

Try this one it works.  Lay on or back arms out to side and knees drawn up. Put your feet together and make big figure eights in the air  with them. I know this sounds silly but it tightens those muscles. i mean swing your feet to the side down and then around and up and over to the other side. A big loop on each side.  do it every day as many as you can.

Try this one, lie on your back with your legs straight up poining to the cieling and crossed at the ankles. Without pushing on the ground with your hands, use your abs to lift your toes straight up(verticle) to the cieling. Or check the free link below.

You are in shape if you can do mild exercise without getting winded or fatigued.that means walk 2 flights of stairs, or walk a half mile. or other exercises

I'd suggest walking, because it's very easy and relatively low impact.  You could also try some water exercises (like water aerobics with your legs) - just cover up your cast with some plastic and don't dunk your arm into the water.

Well, you need to stop excercising until it feels better because if you dont, you are going to make the injury worse because you aren't allowing it time to heal. I use a method called the ice massage. Fill a paper or strofoam cup about half way up with water and freexe it. Once it is frozen, peel away the paper or styrofoam a little bit to reveal teh ice. Now, massage it onto your ankle without stopping for about 10 minutes. Your ankle should be completely numb by the time it is done. I have bad tendons in my ankle and have to do this everyday after I work out. It really does help heal the problem and prevent the pain.

Practice with ankle weights. When you take them off, you'll be able to jump a lil higher because it will help tone your legs better. Don't worry about it too much though, you'll hit a growth spurt in a couple years and get taller anyway. It's never too early to practice and keep in shape though. Just don't go overboard with it.

You could try some rigid insoles in your shoes to support your arch and take the stress off the muscles of the ankle.  You can find the insoles at running shoe stores, make sure though they are the rigid ones.  The insoles should give you the best relief.\nAs for exercises, make sure to stretch your calf muscles regularly before and after exercise, and hold the stretch for 20-30 seconds.  For strengthening, try toe raises and heel raises, as well as balancing on one foot and once that is easy balancing on an unstable surface like a couch cushion.

At home:\n\nlay face up on the floor with your legs straight, together, and just off the floor (wear shoes/boots if your prefer).  Place your hands on your hips and sit up while bringing your knees into your chest.  Lay back down, extend your legs, and keep your feet off the floor.  Put your hands on the floor close to your body and bring your legs up and over your head so that your toes touch the floor above your head.  Keep your legs as straight as possible with feet together.  It should be as if you almost do a backwards summersault.  Your head, shoulders and arms are unmoved but your legs arc 180 degrees from front to back.  Now, swing your legs to their original position while swinging your feet apart to either side and together again.  It is like making a snow angel with your legs in three dimensions.  Bring your feet together and a few inches off the floor below you again.  Next, put your legs straight up in the air and do a sit-up by attempting to touch your toes.  Lower your legs back down until your feet are just off the floor again.  Bring your legs in and curl into a fetal position on your left side (feet on ground).  Do a sit-up while rotating your upper body towards your right side (a sit-up with a twist).  Switch sides, then start from the beginning.  This exercise will get all the muscles that make up the six-pack and will focus on the very hard to develop lower "cans".  This exercise will KILL YOU, and you may need to do conventional ones to get ready for it.\n\nDo it everyday when you wake up and before you go to sleep until you can't do it anymore.  You will have a six-pack in 3-5 weeks.\n\nTang Soo!

walking barefoot in sand is a very good for starting out.  also standing flat footed, and rolling up onto your tiptoes then back to the flat footed stance is a good work out.  After doing that for a few months take up roller skating... after roller skating for a few months try roller blading... then your ankles will bee like the terminators.
